The Pumpkin Patch
Today was not a school day, so we headed out the pumpkin patch at E-Z Orchards for some fun and games. The were slides and peddle tractors, funny cut-outs and farm animals, donuts and cider, and of course, pumpkins. It was a good way to spend a Friday.

A Short Rant....
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this
obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and
that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I
am about to enter: So help me God."
This is
the oath of office taken by our elected congressional representatives. Today
marked Day 5 of the Government Shutdown, and I personally do not believe that
our representatives are doing their job. I sincerely hope each and every one of
them, regardless of political affiliation, is voted out of office at the
earliest opportunity!

September....
Went by very quickly. I've spent the last month moving out of my apartment and into my new house. Of course that meant cleaning the old apartment very thoroughly. My family helped, and I have to say some of them are much pickier about scrubbing those mostly unseen corners than I am!
So, everything from the old place is now in the new place. Most of the boxes are sitting in the garage waiting to be unpacked. I need to get it done, but I'm not really enthusiastic about it. I'm so over the whole moving thing.
And since every weekend has been packed busy, I took most of this past weekend off from my very long to-do list. I headed to Corvallis to hang with my family and watch (on TV) the Beavers beat Colorado on Saturday. With predictions of severe weather and flooding, nobody felt like doing much. With the threat of impending weather doom, I headed home before dark. It's kind of hard to see tree limbs falling when you can't see much. Luckily we avoided the worst of the weather. Portland was hit very hard in some places. Thousands of people were out of power. And my drive to work this morning did encounter some broken trees. Double luckily, none of them were in front of my house.

Labor Day Weekend
A few photos from our family weekend at the lake. It wasn't energetic, or exciting, but fabulous all the same. Too bad it signaled the end of summer.
