Memory Makers

Test test ~ anyone still out there

or have you given up hope that I would ever be back?

Although fall is one of my favourite times of the year

I hold onto summer for as long as I can because I know that

winter ~ the longest season ever in these parts

just goes on forever and is not on my list of things I look forward to 

so with that being said ~ August was fantastic

we spent the long weekend at the cottage and along with some pretty

spectacular sunsets ~ I did a lot of reading ~ relaxing

and walking.  This is the old road and I cannot get over how the alders

have grown up 

we celebrated our anniversary at a yummy new Italian restaurant

so good ~ everything was excellent

I also found a new shop that I love ~ doesn't hurt that she is from the Maritimes

and you know how I love to shop local

check out Rhubarb Paper Co here

weekends were busy with company in from out of town ~ a family gathering ~

time at the flea with my hubby ~ and then my best girl arrived for a few days

we had some deck time ~ some girl time

a trip to the shore for fried clams and lots of together time

which was the best part of all

Labour day weekend took us back to the cottage

it really is the best place to unwind ~ do as much or as little as you want

this summer there were not many projects completed

but we enjoyed the time we had

as we locked up to head home I was overcome with emotion

I thought I was going to cry ~ it was like I was walking away and never coming back

I tried not to read anything into it but it felt weird and yes ~ I have been back since!

I took a weeks vacation in September

did not do a whole lot but I did have a date with this one

we went out to the shore ~ had some supper

walked and talked on the beach ~ laughed and took pictures

it was a great afternoon and evening

back to school and back to work

some projects on the agenda

hoping to get back to my Friday posts

hope everyone had a great weekend
