Rain is falling, leaves are falling and MORE leaves...



I can't believe it's October. Funny, if it isnt raining the leaves are falling, like rain. Sometimes when I'm not paying attention, I look out and expect to see snow.

Dylan is playing soccer for Upper Moreland again. His first two games were excellent, scoring of course. And he played in his usual dramatic style, flying thru the air and falling...


He will miss the next game as this will be his first weekend drilling with the Sea Cadets at here in Willow Grove, the Liberty Bell Squadron.

Another Visit To The Big Apple


The first weekend of September we took an impromptu trip up to NYC. The drive is just under 2 hours and it was such a beautiful day.

I had been looking forward to hitting the subway and seeing Professor Eduardo and his dancing dolls again....but this time we missed him. Did get to see the Naked Cowboy in Times Square again. Always entertaining.

We stopped in the park to have a drink and of course, I had to feed the pigeons my leftover pretzels. You think you are feeding five and all of a sudden, there are fifty swarming you. One of them got a little annoyed with all the crowding and just flew up and landed on my hand, bellied right up to the bar. Pretty funny. He grew calm enough that I was able to slowly hand him over to Dylan who got a kick out of holding the bird. Having animals trust you easily is a blessing, Ive experienced so many amazing things in my life. But it is also a curse as I simply cannot turn away from them.

As usual, we walked for miles, enjoying the always amazing street food and taking in the sights. Cant wait to go back.

Leaves have started falling...


Wow. It took two of my good friends to start blogging to remind me that I actually had one myself. (will add links to both of those below)

Ethan will be turning 17 this weekend. Scary, I know. He is driving himself to school and to golf everyday. I refuse to accept the fact that this time next year he could, in fact, leave home.

Dylan is plying soccer, wrestling and in Sea Cadets.

Jaime transferred from Maintenance to Operations. Maybe things will calm down a bit?

Initiation is over Thank the good Lord.
