Eventful September

*First, there was the annual Labor Day Barbecue.

**Then it was my 50th class reunion.

***Next was the wedding of Lauren and Justin in Austin, Texas. On Friday evening a relaxing rehearsal dinner was provided at Torchy's, and on Saturday a unique and beautiful outdoor ceremony was held at Zilker Clubhouse. A party followed with food, drinks, live music, and dancing.

Ryan flew in from California to be at his sister's wedding. 

Many candid and professional photos were taken. Some of the most beautiful were taken at night to show the strands of lights, the Austin skyline, and the harvest moon behind the state capital.

****One more event to go which will be Corkey's 54th class reunion this weekend.

Today is the first day of autumn, and I am ready for my favorite season.

What about you? Are you ready for the colorful beauty of fall?

It flew by!

I'm talking about how fast my little girl grew up. Today is her birthday, and she has been on my mind. Where did all the years go?

  

Pictures help me to recall the different stages of her growing up. Lauren is now a grown woman with a professional business. She has accomplished so much in her thirty-five years. Best of all she's a loving daughter. I love today because I get to remember the day she was born and all the joys she has given me.

Oh, September!

Because this month's calendar is full of activities, I thought I had better get a head start on a little bit of fall decorating. Nothing major...just a few touches here and there with the usual decorations.

The ferns have done well this year. Can't say the same about other flowers.
I neglected my flowerbeds during the summer heat. 

The colors of nature can't be beat.

I'm really glad the ninth month is here.

Welcome, September!
