If you knew me from Evas kindergarten class last year you would know I seemed to be the last to know, late to everything and that I still don’t get how car pool works…I know I know…get with it right!?

This is how much I knew about carpool....nothing!!!

I tried to stay informed, volunteer aka brown-nose but somehow I was seemingly always dropping the ball.  This year, like a good basketball player I vow to dribble better and maybe even have a slam dunk or two.  Hey it’s worth a try!!

Summer has been here and is quickly fading away.  At the beginning of summer I didn’t know how I was going to juggle it all.  Friends and family visiting, kids out of school, work…but my strategy (if that’s what you call it) was  week by week.  I know maybe it should be ‘one day at a time’ (sweet Jesus)…but I find if I look at my weekly calendar I can make anything work.  I don’t pretend to have my life all in balance but I am learning to decide between the ‘good things’ and the ‘best things’ for me.  Asking God for direction in my day to day, learning to “be still” before rushing into the busy-ness of the day. 

September is almost here and after enjoying the views of Moses lake, much pool time, relaxing in jammies most of the morning and the local farmers market – it’s time to return home and enjoy the onset of fall.   Back to long, cozy sweaters, a mix of tall and ankle boots, Christmas decorations at Costco (in August) and more nights of Pinterest. 

Goodbye summer sunsets...

But hello beautiful sky...although taken through a car window...if this is what I am coming home to I can handle it!!
