Enjoy these last days of summer
and look forward to the cooler days of
Fall. I need to get Billy busy on the
woodpile! Piper, Avery and Will Riley
have a couple of more weeks before
their school starts so they will get a few
more days at the beach while Emily
and Galen are back in school.
This summer I have been blessed
with many "Mama G" moments and
I will miss them much when they are
limited to school hoidays. My Newnan
grandfather used to tell us "Glad to see
you come, glad to see you go!" and I
will admit there is some truth to that
since Billy and I do like our quiet times
and routine but we made some lovely
memories this summer that I will enjoy
remembering in front of the fireplace
this winter!
