September is here

How did it get to be September so quickly? This year we do not have to work the Labor Day party at Guadalupe. Too many people, the bands seems too loud to me and go on forever, and too many drink too much. I think I got too many too's in that last sentence. So it should be a quiet day for us as we get the finishing touches done here to leave on the ninth.

Yesterday we made a quick trip to San Antonio as we had some presents to get for new family arrivals. Two of my sister's boys are having or will have babies. One boy has already arrived, and another will do the same soon. My sis and her husband love being grandparents, as do we.

One daughter and family have arrived in Costa Rica and will live there for the next eight months as they get intensive Spanish language training. The other daughter and her family have arrived back in this country from Brazil, where they spent two weeks setting up an exchange program for her college clarinet students. Horizons are broadening here for both families. Traveling seems to be in the families' blood. Happy travels.
