Greg went back to SEMO Friday morning. We had breakfast at Cracker Barrel on Merramec Bottom Rd. and I-55. Had a great time and then he got on the highway and off to school. It's always hard seeing him go back. I've been doing this college thing now for 6 years and it is easier than the first time we sent them off to college. But..... there is still that moment when you see the car pull away. I cry every year, just not as long. I always remember that he is where he needs to be. I don't want to cripple my children. I want them to be healthy, happy, independent! I say that to myself over and over again, all the way home!

Thanks to everyone who came to the card classes today. I hope you had a good time and learned a little, too. I know I did!



Big news (for me anyway) when I got home tonight. I was accepted into the Copic Marker Certification Class! I'm very excited. So look out ladies, I see Copic Markers in the future of our card classes!

Happy 22nd Birthday G-Man!!!!

Since the day you entered this world you have brought us such joy and laughter!

Enjoy your day!

Went to St. Charles this week and did a little Fall shopping. The stores have all their Fall merchandise out before the Festival of the Hills. I also found a thing or two for Christmas. I've decided which Dept. 56 Halloween stuff I want to get this year. I'm going to add the train and station to my Halloween Village. I finished making thank you notes and will be getting them ready to send out Monday. I'm trying to enjoy these last couple weeks of Summer.
