Good morning Friends ☀️
Can you believe this week turns into September? Where did the summer go?
Did you have a lovely weekend? It was such a nice one here. I hung out with my Mom on Friday. Then Saturday my Dad, step Mom, son, brother and SIL all came over to celebrate my Dad's birthday. So I got wonderful time with all my close family this weekend. 😊 And then Sunday was one of those perfect Sundays. Beautiful weather. Productive time around the house. Then lounging out on the deck with Ruby reading and then playing ball with her. A long fun phone call with my gf out in California. Great chats with another special friend. Nice evening of home cooked dinner with my Annie and hanging out watching shows together. I even took a little nap in the afternoon - which I never do! Lol Just a really fun and relaxing weekend. Now I'm ready to tackle a new week!

FROM THE CAMERA:
Annie at back to school orientation night with a buddy and then on the first day of school 🍎 📚 😊
my fall pedi and then playing around with my hair and did a kind of faux hawk braid, and teased my son that I was doing viking hair (he's been very into norse and viking culture and likes all the crazy braids they do)
Celebrating my sweet PapaBear's 76th birthday! Love how the marble balloons had lights in them and so they glowed all night 🎈
my happy place
