It's Quiet Here Now, But...

We're just wakening up around here. I haven't had coffee and haven't read the newspaper yet. The garbage is on the end of the driveway (must be Tuesday), and I haven't a thought worth sharing. You see, it's quiet here now, but just wait until this evening. Number 1 daughter and grandson are flying in from Ohio and number 2 daughter and husband are driving up from Illinois for a family weekend. Prepare to be exhausted.

Sir Ansel, of course, will announce arrivals as each visitor approaches our home. He will revel in having the attention of his two sisters and...
try to remember who the little guy is and when did he learn to walk?

Just outside, and unaware of the warm energy within, the trees will go about their fall grooming.

In the end, there will be a mess, lots of dirty diapers and two incredibly exhausted grand parents (camping is easier). That is, everything will be perfect.

Paddle safe...
