Though it’s not officially fall yet (9 days still), I have the feeling that I’m settling in to the season. Long sleeve shirts, jeans, enjoying Spartan football, rooting against the Buckeyes, J. E. T. S., Jets JETS JETS!, cheddar cheese, Triscuits and sausage, thinking about apples and caramel, the smell of fires burning around the lake, and, of course, school starting for so many young folk. Some older folk have started school again too.Yes, I’m definitely smelling, seeing, and feeling fall. I’m inside more and thinking about future fall and winter activities. And I’m starting to do the stuff I like inside – playing guitar, learning something new – in this case it’s some new recording software, and mostly curling up under a soft blanket.
In the past, I’ve loved the end of summer and start of fall, because I’m not a fan of feeling hot and sweaty. Fall brings that lovely sweater weather. But things change.
I live on a lake now. Bring on the hot weather and let’s keep it longer. Yep, I no longer mind hot weather b/c it just means I’m in the water. Plus, for the first time in 20 or so years, I don’t have season tickets to watch my Spartans. Between the cost of the new home, and the football days starting to feel like work during the last couple seasons, we decided not to purchase them this year. So here I sit in a comfy chair watching the Spartans pummel the opposing team. (There is still a half to go though so I don’t want to be over confident. Love my Spartans but for a while there they did have a history of fading in the 4th quarter.)

Yep, times change. And the strangest part of today is that I think I like the change. ME! Lisa! LIKES CHANGE! So, the big question of the day is: does this mean I’m getting older?
Happy Saturday!
Lisa
And to all those still grieving their losses of 9 years ago, please know I remember, and I’m saying a prayer for you.
