Speaking of fall, it’s just around the corner! Emmet goes back to school in one week. How is that possible?

It’s been such a busy summer for us and exciting too. Our first grandson was born about about month ago and I’ve been soaking up as many baby snuggles as possible!

I’m ready for those fall temperatures but I’m never ready for school to start back.

I have a few more things I want to squeeze in before school starts next week, I may even take a couple of days off for some end of summer fun.

I’d love to hear about your summer fun and what you have been cooking, grilling or growing in your garden. Leave a comment or send me an email. I’m always glad to hear from y’all!
