Saying Goodbye

Today we said goodbye to one of my dad's cousins. The memorial was wonderful, full of funny stories and good memories. He was taken by a horrific disease, ALS, but his loved ones rejoice with the good memories and a belief they will all be together again.

Labor Day Weekend

We spent the weekend at Foster Lake enjoying the last gasp! of summer vacation. School starts the day after Labor Day, so it was a brief interlude sandwiched between setting up my classroom the week before and molding kids back into school condition the next.
