It seems like last week we were all in Arlington for Mom's wedding, and now summer's over and school is in full swing!

The boys are being home schooled again, but I promised if they would get caught up to sixth grade, I would put them in a regular school after Christmas. Unfortunately, I will be leaving Allstate Workplace Division as of November 1st, so it probably won't be a private school for them.

Good news! Kelly has enrolled for her first real semester in college. She's going to take an Algebra class because she didn't do well on the entrance exam in the math area, and she has to pass that before she can take any other math classes... Going to school and working full time will be a challenge, but I'm sure she can handle it. She's really looking forward to getting back to her studies. She wants to eventually major in pre-law, so she's going to try to complete the legal administrative assistant courses. This will allow her to work at a law firm while she takes her upper classes.

Dick, of course, is still "in season" with the lawn repair, but we can tell fall is in the air. I wish the weather would get the message! High's in the high 90's with 60% humidity makes it feel like 110 degrees outside. No one is mowing because we haven't had much rain. Consequently, they're not breaking them like they should. :-D

What's everyone doing for Christmas?

I'm not sure exactly where I will be during Christmas, could be in TX, but most likely in FL. I will probably visit my father, and then my girlfriend. Sort of like last year.

Well, it looks like Carolyn is coming to visit us for Christmas. We hope Christy can come too. They both need to renew their visas as well as visit Mom and Dad. I'd love for the rest of the girls to come but that probably won't be possible this time.

We have a quarter mile track in front of our house that we run on. Today I ran the ridge. It's a crosscountry trail.
