Wordless Wednesday

Phew

I've been wanting to update you all, but time is elusive and always seems to be getting away from me. We've been spending most of our time with caregiving, an honor to be sure but at the same time, overwhelming. And I'm not sure that there is any other better option, either. I guess I just need to trust that all is as it should be.

Jake has gone back to school. We did manage to fit in a steak and eggs breakfast before he left, and of course the State Fair. I miss him already! Cleo moved in with a friend of mine from work and so we are now down to three cats in the house. Which is probably best because of all the time we are away with the parents.

Is a quiet house a good thing? Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell, I guess.

September Already

Summer has come and gone in a flash. We've been busy with the parents, sometimes things seeming okay, other times not so much. Jake is home, but will be going back for his senior year at St. Olaf next week. Nick has been to two weeks of classes already! And Katie has opened her own Etsy shop Cheroiseau which has been fun for both of us as we discuss business strategies and try to make sense of SEO concepts. Please take a look at her shop's link as every view counts. Plus, she is very talented in her art.

I'm thinking that we should go to the Minnesota State Fair today. I know that we're not really in a spending ~ money ~ frame ~ of ~ mind these days, but the things I want to see are probably not in that category. The poultry barn is open this year, and of course the barns are some of my favorite places to see. We do like to share food, that way we get to taste different things and don't get too full. But the biggest draw of all, is that it looks to be an awesome day with lots of sun and cool breezes!

Of course I will post pictures of animals and food later on. Animals and food, all good things.
