Not-Quite-Country Girl

October is truly one of my favorite months of the entire year...and how quickly it passed this year!

June 1993.  Kamaron (almost 7...look at those dirty legs and feet!) and Kyler (4 1/2), sitting on the back steps of our old house holding some of our cats from that era.

Even though it's still hot and the calendar says the beginning of autumn is yet a couple of weeks away, Labor Day always feels like the unofficial end of summer.

...Gramaw comes to help play!

Our little Lucy will soon have a new baby cousin on Mommy Kara's side of the family...

Mama had a fun couple of days with her Florida granddaughter Seanna, who flew on an airplane BY HERSELF to Indiana for a week-long fling before her school starts. 

See that man wearing the aqua shirt, making his way up to the front of this Hagerstown, Indiana crowd?

"Sandhurst"...aka "Gramaw's Beach House"...our home-away-from-home for a week in July every year.

My "baby" brother Mark and his family arrived at Mama's for a visit just as we were leaving for our week-long family vacation.
