Enjoying the last of the summer weather...

I hope you all enjoyed yesterday's weather as much as we did! The sun did it's best to warm us very early in the morning, and by noon we were up to almost 68 degrees!

Speaking of weather, it's very hard for me to believe that Christmas is around the corner. For those of you who know me well, I am usually done my shopping, all wrapped up, and last year by this time, the Christmas tree was up and decorated! This year is different. I don't know if it's because of losing Bill, or because I'm not in my own home doing my normal routine (like anything I do is even close to normal!) but I can't seem to get into the spirit of the season. I even typed up a letter to Sam from Santa Claus, and it didn't excite me when he read it like it used to. I'm not depressed, but the holiday mood seems lost on me. Perhaps once the weather turns white and colder, I will start. On the other hand, I am busy working on an extra special birthday party for Sam, who will turn 7 on Dec. 27th. Because his birthday is so close to Christmas, he gets a bum deal on his special day. So, to celebrate his going under water, I booked a pool party at the local YWCA. They have a super place to have a group meet, do your cake and presents, and then an hour of free time in the pool. The best part is that they have inflatable floats the entire length of the pool for the kids to jump and play on. Today Sam and I went to the party store to pick a "theme" for the party, and he went with anything having to do with water. So, we picked up all the necessary items for the tables and gift bags and goodies for the kids. We even picked up some balloons for Uncle Billy and Papa to send up to heaven. Will let Uncle Billy's balloon go, and he jumped up and down trying to catch it! What a pip!
