"and as the summer's ending..."

Within 24 hours this past week the daily temperature dropped from 90 everyday to the 70's with a nice, cool breeze. That's right, I'm talking about the weather... People around here seem to be a hint nicer when the weather is cool.

55 days or so 'til I leave for Vermont. I have not seen Katherine in...... a while. 5 people from the Russian congregation are coming too, plus a handful up there are going to join us, so snowboarding should be a blast!

I miss seeing mountains every day. Sometimes when I'm driving and I look in the rearview mirror on a day with a lot of clouds on the horizon, it looks like a mountain range in the distance and catches me off guard for a moment. I know, I'm weird. The mind sees what it wants to see.
