White City @ Sunset

 This weather has been spectacular.  How blessed are we to live in such a stunningly beautiful place?

More Lake Time, Because I refuse to believe It's Fall

 I insist that it is still summer, that fall has not arrived, and that as long as I'm on the lake, the cold will stay away.  The day started with Galina and I going for a paddle.  I'm still recovering from the crud, so this was a much more relaxed paddle than we normally do, but was still lovely.

Then the whole family (minus Quinn) went for a sail.  

Her Final Marching Band Performance... EVER! :(

 

As a recovering band geek, the fact that my LAST child had her LAST marching band performance hit hard.  I love watching these kids do their thing out on the field.  And after tonight I won't be able to pick out one of my own DNA from amongst the feathered hats.  ((sniff sniff)).  Reagan was a good sport and posed for her mama before taking off her band uniform for the last time.  I'm not ready for any of this senior year stuff.  

The Mistress Back In the House

 Rob has moved his poor little injured plane back to the hangar to reassemble and fix.  He was SO CLOSE to flying again, but during the move from our garage back to the hangar, the plane bonked it's tail against a post and got injured even more.  Rob was devastated.  It will be another year before he's up in the air again.  It's been a long road, but he is determined to get her back into tip top shape.  Wings are re-attached and that's a step in the right direction.
