Summer...What Summer?

Around this time year people are always asking “Did you enjoy your summer?” And I have this urge to say “Summer, what Summer?” Oh yeah, it was that one week in June…I think I blinked sometime during that week, maybe took a nap...or two. Oh well, there’s always next year right? Right??

Anyways, Fall is setting in and we even have some leaves falling. This is my FAVORITE time of year. The air is cool and crisp, the leaves beautiful, and holidays are just around the corner. I sure do miss our family around this time. We’re halfway through out time here….so yup, homesickness is right on time. Must find ways to occupy myself for the next year and a half.

Well, for one, Hunter will starting kindergarten soon! We are homeschooling, so it’s not quite as exciting for him as it would be if he were actually going to school. I’m excited though! I’m using a wide range of curriculum instead of a one company box set. I’m sure it’s easier that way, but since when do I choose the easy route? Anyway, if anyone is interested the books I’m using just shoot me an email- I’ll be happy to share :)

Since Aaron was away for most of the “summer” in Germany we didn’t get to do any traveling, so we’re trying to make up for it now. Next week we’ll be heading to Wales for 5 days. It’s Aaron’s turn to plan our trip and I think he has the itinerary jammed, so I should have plenty of picture to share when we get back. I’m really looking forward to it! Something I didn’t know until recently is that the Welsh still fluently speak Gaelic. Even their road signs are written in the language. Can’t wait to hear it spoken!

And as always- the Ollis BnB and “tour guide” operation is open year around!!

Lots of love,
