Maybe it’s Fall?

I spent the last week in North Carolina for work. They got hit with the remnants of a hurricane right after I was leaving. Well, we had rain all that day but the biggest rain came after my flight left. The same thing happened when I was in NC in August. Hurricane hit around go-home day. I’m very grateful that both times I was able to get home. I have one more trip later this year and I’m really hoping it doesn’t happen a 3rd time. 

Of course it’s been 90 degrees here at home. Weird. The funny thing is that it’s cooler at night and so my house cools off more and the air conditioning is rarely on. Funny how this 90 feels cooler than 90 in July. 

It’s my turn to host family dinner and since it’s so nice and sunny outside, we are going to a park. My family really doesn’t fit in my house very well so I’m actually glad we have more time outside. Of course the kids don’t really eat when they are playing outside so today we are doing “finger foods” and will have sandwiches on rolls along with fruits and veggies and cheese and that kind of thing. Keep it easy. 

Yesterday would have been my dad’s 80th birthday. And mom’s 76th would have been next Friday. We are going to Maddox as a family for dinner next week to celebrate. I guess I’m back on one of the “hills” of this crazy roller coaster because I’m feeling ok. I miss both of them, but more in the happy memories way instead of the sad grieving way.
