General update

It's fall here in the boonie mountains, the temps have dropped and it's really cool at night, fireplace weather, the trees have started turning colors, the air is crisp and clean, the tourists have gone home. It's pretty quiet around here again, the lake water is still one minute and choppy with white caps the next. They pulled the dock and the swim ropes in, put up the picnic tables. It was an eerie kind of stillness and quiet the day after labor day, but tranquil.

My parents have come and gone, they were here for a week with my sister & niece. It was so nice having them visit and doing thing. My mother can be a little on the nagging side and bossy but she is 83. We had a in home spa treatment day on Monday, I won that in August. On Tuesday we went to the outlet area shopping, on Wednesday we drove down to the ocean so my niece can say she was in the Atlantic ocean. It was a bit breezy and cool. The beach was almost deserted. Thursday was their anniversary and 9/11. I took my father out to get some flowers for my mother and I took them out to dinner at a nice place we've never been before. On Friday we worked our way down the highway to visit my son & his family, stopping at the biker famous Weir's Beach. That was almost deserted too, tourist season is over. Then we went to a couple more outlet shops and browsed around. We all went out to dinner at an Chinese/Japanese/American/Italian buffet place and it was good.
I did sit down and stitch one night, I worked on my nieces wedding project but didn't get very far.

Saturday after they left I cleaned up and straightened up. Then Saturday night I had the scary episode in my previous post.
Sunday was spent doing more laundry but mostly lazy and trying to get back on track with my Spark people again.
Monday was a GREAT walk, a GREAT workout when I got home and more energetic cleaning.
Today was another GREAT walk and another pound lost. That is 10 lbs now. yee haw.

It was also my quit smoking anniversary this week, 10 months now smoke free!

DH will be HOME in 2 days! WOO HOOO! So much we want to see and do that I know we won't have 1/2 the time.
That also means I only have 3 weeks left in the real world before going back to hell. The tears have already started while I was walking today and enjoying the beautiful fall air, smells and crisp weather. Where has the time gone?

The last game in Yankee Stadium is fast approaching too, that is so sad that they thought they needed a new stadium, the old one is just fine, too many memories there. I wish I could get YES network so I could watch the specials on that day. For the first time in a decade, they won't be going to the post season, they just suck.

Anyhow, that is my general update.
