Time Out

This has been such a lovely, relaxing, long holiday weekend that I feel totally recovered and energized for a good week ahead. The final bit of fun will be today. It is beginning with the final Formula 1 race of the season live from Dubai right now then later, we will be with British Don so Michael can help him pack up a few more of the larger items for his move to Oklahoma. Somehow lunch will be involved and we will be thoroughly entertained by him, as usual.

It is pre-dawn right now but a nice storm is due in an hour or so and will continue throughout the day. Yesterday, Michael cut the grass then we suddenly had the garage filled with the neighbors, we served cocktails and enjoyed an impromptu get together. We are blessed to have lovely neighbors.

Leslie and her family arrived home last night from a week vacation in Spain.

Susan and Ron arrived home last evening from almost a week in Palm Springs.

Kevin, Kelley and their two girls arrived home from a week in No. Carolina.

The new family on the other side of our challenging neighbors have moved into the house.

The neighborhood feels alive with kids! Thank goodness!

Towards the end of each year, I have always admired Michael for actually reviewing the year and setting goals for the new year. Yesterday, we were talking about a simple re-do of our kitchen, it is time, and maybe give our bathroom a face lift. We want to remove a lot of landscaping in the front yard to make it easier to maintain and the house needs to be painted. Lots of plans.
