Kelly left a little before 9am; I left for work after she left. I always hate to see my family leave. We enjoyed our time kid-free (but we DID miss the boys!). It’s very rare to have time together with just us. She brought my mums up (that I ordered) and was so excited that they survived her care! I’ll plant them when they are totally done blooming.
After work I went to the dentist to get my crown put on the implant. As you could almost expect – did not go well! Even through the tooth was tagged with the correct shade, it was not compatible with the other teeth! So now he has to re-order. I have the temporary one in and it will take some time to get used to. I haven’t had a tooth in that space for a pretty long time!
So finally – Skunk Hollow Bonfire at Beth’s! It was such a wonderful evening. All ten of us were there. Harold built the fire and kept it going for a while, then we took over. He also took some pictures for us. It was sunny and comfortable for the first part of the evening, and we could sit around the table and eat and chat. We can cover any topic of conversation from fender-benders (poor Beth!) to health issues to politics (which we try to avoid!)
Holly and Karen are sisters
Colleen and Gwen are sisters
There is always so much food. We had hot dogs (of course) and Harold heated sauerkraut inside on the stove for us. There was mountain pie fixings, and everything for some’mores. Crackers, chips, desserts, cider — M&M’s! Humus and carrots.

When we had eaten our fill we moved over to the fire pit (but carried snack plates with us!). Once the sun went down it was much cooler, and we bundled in jackets and blankets. I read my essay on flowers (each SH girl was a different flower and I researched their characteristics!), and then we went around the circle and shared updates in our lives and families. It was about 10:30pm when things broke up. The hour drive home was comfortable, as Kathy and I could chat and relive the evening as the moon followed us all the way. Love these girls, and so blessed to have them in my life and share precious time with each other. Already looking forward to the Christmas event at Colleen’s!

September 19 – If you were ever in a fight, tell about it. “I would fight with my sister Hazel. Dad made us put on Jim’s boxing gloves & fight each other until we decided we didn’t like to fight anymore.” Sounds effective to me!
Calendar inspiration – By helping others achieve their goals, we often achieve our own goals as well.
