All Quiet On The Western Front

For our family members worried about Gustav's effect on our little corner of the world, the news is...not much at this time. We have enjoyed a moderate day, as far as the heat goes, and the breeze has been nice. There seems to be a building chance of rain, but if Gustav continues moving north as predicted, it should not be heavy. It looks like you guys will feel more of Gustav's fury than us.

We spent a quiet day with friends, enjoying fellowship and hamburgers. It is always nice to spend time with friends with whom you can laugh and be yourself. Meagan, Derrick and Davin joined us as we visited on the patio. Dirty D finally gave it up and fell asleep in his daddy's arms, so they headed home. I left soon after, needing to get prepared for the week to come. The kids just walked through the door.

Jim left Sunday morning for a dove hunt. Dove season opened today. He will hunt again tomorrow morning and then head home. He should be back around supper time. He says the birds aren't flying as well as usual...but they have harvested 'a few'. Looks like we will have grilled bacon wrapped dove breast next weekend.

Meagan, Brianne, Davin and I spent Saturday picking up last minute wedding items. You would know that it took four Hobby Lobby's to get all of the silverware. We still have not collected all of the napkin rings...finding them at only the first Hobby Lobby. We have only four of the twelve shepherd's hooks needed. It will take a few more Wal-Mart's to finish that task...if we are lucky.

We had Kelli, Matt, Brooke and the Lozano's over on Sunday for spaghetti and Pictionary.

Tomorrow is back to school and work.

I hope you all enjoyed a quiet Labor Day weekend, as well.
