Mid-Week Reflection

The weeks are flying by. I can hardly believe that it is the second-to-the-last week in October. My DD is getting revved up for Hallowe'en. My grandmother--who is 84--will be visiting us from Florida and we are all excited that we can see her, since she rarely travels.

We are thinking about getting another dog. I really want a Boxer, so we've been perusing want ads and petfinder.com and shelters. The right dog will turn up at the right time. :)

I hope that we can go to the state park this weekend. I really really really need to reconnect with nature. The backyard just isn't cutting it for me right now. I miss living on a farm, in the wide open spaces, where time seemed to almost stand still. Perhaps I just long for that more innocent time of childhood, when the heaviest burden I had to carry was homework.
