How is it possible that school has already started?  My the summer just flew by, but wasn’t it wonderful?  Here is a little taste of our happiness lately:

 

*A new cookbook that I am so excited to use.  It is all healthy and wholesome freezer meals. For those days when I know it will be busy and I don’t want to throw mac and cheese on the stove because I have just run out of time.  I have heard nothing but good things about it, so I have really high hopes.

 

*More zucchini than any human being should ever be allowed to consume…as well as other wonderfully delicious fresh veggies from the garden.

p.s. I have been informed that one zucchini plant is sufficient to satisfy even the most zucchini loving of families.  When I asked said gardening expert about the possibility of needing to plant more than one in case we have a zucchini plant death, I was informed that zucchini plants NEVER die. So, there you have it.

 

*A heavenly father that cares enough about us to take the time to paint exquisite sunsets. Doesn’t it just take your breath away? 

 

*Two amazing almost autumn-like days.  As much as I love summer, I think autumn takes the prize.  It however never decides to stick around long enough. So were fall to come a little bit early this year, I would not complain one bit.

 

*Andrea time.  Summer was so busy for me that getting back into the school schedule has been such a joy.  I worked everyday during the summer until 4:00 so getting done at the school at 11:00 on MWF will really be a treat for me.  The first thought I had this week was, “yessss, I get to clean my house.” Is there something wrong with me?

 

*New books.  A lovely friend (you know who you are) told me about a nice sale on Jane Austin at the B&N.  So I ran down there and got myself a copy of Pride and Prejudice and a copy of Sense and Sensibility.  These are two of my all time favorite movies and I thought it high time I read the actual book.  This is going wonderfully with the aforementioned Andrea time.

 

*And last but certainly not least the amazing present my wonderful hubby got for me for my birthday. I have been playing with it all day and I think this one is my favorite so far!
