School has started again and the world sort of works its way back into that routine of busy-ness that comes with the end of summer.  I've spent the summer beading and making jewelry, the latest hobby I've embraced.  It's quite fun and keeps me occupied in the evenings while we generally relax with a movie.  Amy calls, texts, or chats with me online frequently and we've picked up where we left off last year.  With her being in her own apartment this year, there are new experiences in store for her; we'll see how she handles them.  Scott started at the Jr. High, the first time he's been in regular public school since 2nd grade.  He likes it.  He likes his teachers and is happy to be near his friends.

My work is looking like it will be picking up as we implement a new software program and I learn how it works.  I'm looking forward to being busy there.  Bruce is picking up jobs here and there and still working on what the winter may bring.

We attended the first annual Scottish Games and Celtic Festival in Cache Valley yesterday.  The bagpipe music always touches my heart.  I love the parade and the dancing.  We spent the entire day, watching the athletic events and enjoying the entertainment.  It's nice to see that sort of thing here, where pioneers have dominated the scene for so long.

And now, back to life....
