... The Ber Months

INSERT CONSTRUCTION PICS

 

What a way to kick off the new month!  We were working in a classroom today, a few of us together displaced by the recent flooding of the office area.  The drywall at the bottom was cut away, and the estimate is something like three weeks for the time it will take to get things back to normal.  

But the Ber Months are here officially, and that's good news.  It's our favorite season, time for all kinds of fun activities - although the temperature is pretty warm outside.  In fact, it'll be super warm for another week or so.  And the rain is infrequent, so we're out there watering our garden and the potted plants.  We've got a few tomatoes left, and that Mad Hatter Pepper is getting a little bigger, although I'm not sure how big it will get by the time it is ripe enough.

Regardless of temperature, we're celebrating the Ber Months right away.  Mom has some great decorations she's putting out, and we've ordered new pillowcases with some fall designs on them.  We're having some of that delicious Bones coffee too.  

Today's flavor:  Frankenbones, which is a lighter flavor, a bit smoother and fairly tasty.  Mom ordered a lot of coffee for us, so we'll be enjoying this until November when it's time to do the Christmas flavors.  And speaking of fall flavors, we're still doing the pumpkin spice protein shake - and the Monster Crunch cereals too!  Yummy!

Maddie wasn't driving today, but she was getting some homework done.  It's somewhat like high school in regards to workload, at least so far.  She's doing just fine.  This morning, the three of us went off to see Doc Williams for some chiropractic work - Maddie was laughing through the whole thing as usual.  It's a lot of fun, and by the end of it everyone was feeling better, nice and relaxed.  Our next appointment is in October, and that'll be fun to see what costumes the staff comes up with.

The Braves lost again today, which makes sense because it's a team with a losing record.  We seem to have trouble with those.  

Tonight we continued "Soul Music," and said our prayers afterwards.  Time for some sleep!
