It's SEPTEMBER!

Hi All!

Just a quick note! Can't believe it is September already. Wow, time is sure flying here in Essex.

We are gearing up for all the fall programs at the church, and enjoying every minute of it.

Yesterday, we went to Michigan with P. Nathan & Mandy, for some shopping and to eat at the Olive Garden, and it was delicious! I posted pics below. It's so nice being so close to the States. The prices there are amazing.

Our corn field is still growing next to our house. It's VERY tall now! We found out it's actually corn for animals, which is why they haven't harvested it yet. They let it go as long as possible.

Oh, and just so you know, I have developed a VERY bad habit of slamming people's entire hands in the car door. Yes, I know, it's awful! Well, the first incident happened at a youth event. We drove, and had a few girls in the car. Well Nichole, one of the girls, when she went to get out of the back seat, lost her balance as a friend pushed her, and she put her hand through my door to hold on. Anyways, long story short, I slammed the door on her hand, it LATCHED and I didn't realize until I was almost to the McDonalds restaurant. I had to run back, unlatch the door, and get her ice, and quickly!

So, as if that wasn't bad enough, Nichole's DAD was driving in our back seat one day, and when I got out of the front seat, of course I checked for hands (since the last incident, I've been extra careful). There were no hands in the way, so I slammed the door. But as I slammed it, Walt put his hand through my door to help him get out of the car, and I LATCHED his hand in the same door! Awful!!! Daughter and father! But I did look! This time, it was his fault! Anyways, his middle finger is completely black. I felt awful!

So, I say this, just as a warning when I return to Halifax for a visit! Stay clear of my car door!

Oh yes, one more thing, looks as though I will be returning to Halifax for a visit at the beginning of November (just me)! So I am looking forward to that.

Well, good night! I couldn't sleep tonight, hence the post. But I really should try again :) I guess that's what a nap does! Ruins your evening rest!

Chow for now.
