Adjusting

Well hello.....

how was your summer?

we have been adjusting ~ it has been a different one for us for sure

but with change comes acceptance

and we move along

we still work and eat and sleep

and rinse and repeat

and somewhere along the line ~ new memories are made

July was a bit of a blur ~ then my cousin called (aka my best girl)

and she wondered if she could come down for a week or so

with her 2 boys for a little vacation

I checked with Trev as did not know if he would be up to company

but he said yes and we had a great time

the first weekend they were here was the last weekend of July

and we had a family gathering

I think the final count was 25 and the only pics I took were of the kids on my phone

do I regret not getting my "big girl" camera out ~ a little

but I had so much fun just chatting with everyone and enjoying the day

we did some fun things during the week then headed to the cape on Friday night

 this is Gina, Brandon & Kyle

let's just say that these boys were raised in the city

they had no service on their phones ~ no wifi ~ 2 channels on the tv

they were lost

and I think the cottage is a little but too rustic for them

but all in all we had a good time

Our cousin Anne came down on Saturday for another visit

then that night we made a big bonfire ~ roasted hot dogs and marshmallows

we watched the sandpipers take flight on the beach

climbed rocks ~ walked through fields ~ visited the farm

and told stories to the boys 

I love how the sweet william is still blooming at the farm

the following weekend my God daughter Jillian was married

I will do an entire wedding post because I am so happy for this one

I am so proud

then the next weekend was the giant flea market in Sussex

which we always go with #thebestneighboursever

and although we did not bring a lot home ~ we had fun

this past weekend Trevor worked charter both days

driving bus to shuttle people back and forth to the airport as we had an air show

then a family gathering on Sunday for his side which he couldn't attend but I did

I thought I would find it hard being at the camp

but I think him not being there made it easier for me as in my state of denial

I put both him and his Dad off somewhere together

I know when it finally does hit me it will be like a landslide

and I am bracing myself for it

I hope your summer has been full of sunshine and rain showers

smiles and tears of happiness not sorrow

I will be around to visit ~ I have been reading all summer 

trying to keep up

vacation starts on Friday and I for one am ready

xoxo
