Autumn is Upon Us

Hello!

I find myself just blinking, and days and then weeks are gone. We are living (read: Kari has one hand clutching the back corner of the calendar, and it is galloping away at breakneck speed) the months of fall, and the days just fly by. Here are a few highlights:

SOCCER. Kara's team won their game yesterday! She always plays a part of the game in goal.

TURKEYS. I always see this group of 6 or 8 wild turkeys as I drive around, but of course I never have my camera. One morning they were just across the street from our house, so I could take a picture of them.


CROSS COUNTRY. Both David and Teresa are running this year for their respective schools: the high school and the middle school.

They are building a new high school, however, and with all the construction mess, they will not be hosting any home meets this season! (Hence, no photo ops of David running...) At any rate, you can believe that he runs, and he's also pretty good at it. Here is Teresa at one of her home meets.


WOMEN's RETREAT. Our women's group at church (Relief Society) got to spend a night at the awesome camp the church owns in New Hampshire. It is just beautiful, with cabins by a lake and a great dining hall facility. And I must say, we have some talented cooks in our group! Ribs for dinner, then homemade jellies and syrups on the pancakes the next morning. The girls go there for Young Women's Camp each year. Now I know where Teresa has had all her great activities for camp the last 2 summers!
It is such a scramble to get everyone situated at home, before Mom leaves for 24 hours. But well, well worth it. It poured on us for the first few hours, then Saturday it cleared and was beautiful for us to take our hike around the lake.

(My allotted 20 minutes for this is up.)
Have a great week! Love, Kari

Wow - you have 20 minutes???? I'm glad the turkeys cooperated - are you sure there isn't a city ordinance against photographing them without their written permission, or asking if it's OK at the city council? Better be careful.....Have a great week!

Nice to see you still have fall colors in your neck of the woods. We are having below freezing temperatures at night now. YUCK!! Sounds like a fun retreat.

Every time I think the fall leaves in the West are gorgeous, someone I know, posts fall leaves from back East and I realize how lame we have it. Sigh.
