I love fall, always have, because it's the season that feels most like a new year for taking on those hopes, dreams and promises which summer has idly planted inside of us.Larramiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788910637361812265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9117689460622632628.post-84215972987107410732007-08-10T14:26:00.000-05:002007-08-10T14:26:00.000-05:00Maybe we'll start sharing recipes on the blog this...Maybe we'll start sharing recipes on the blog this fall?

And this summer has been particularly special, since my oldest leaves for college in two weeks. <BR/><BR/>But I also am getting a little bit tired of the late nights, late mornings, no structure, messiness, etc. I've not been productive at all this summer, writing-wise. And I'm tired of grilling, too! I only like to cook winter-type foods - the meatloaf and the fried chicken and the pot roast and roasted vegetables.<BR/><BR/>Have fun on vacation! Enjoy it - I've always wanted to go to Napa!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9117689460622632628.post-72930510003259748142007-08-10T12:28:00.000-05:002007-08-10T12:28:00.000-05:00Judy, I'm so much like this!

Last night I was up until almost 2 a.m. waiting for my oldest to get home from an event. I haven't yet learned how to go to bed while he's out.<BR/><BR/>Hurray for the upcoming school year! I may yet get my novel done in time. :)Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01915740239016736614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9117689460622632628.post-84974792561796008802007-08-10T12:26:00.000-05:002007-08-10T12:26:00.000-05:00I'm with you, ladies!

Tired of thinking of cool dinners. I can't wait until the weather suggests stew and meatloaf.Judy Merrill Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675069484490433295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9117689460622632628.post-33518599091548801272007-08-10T09:51:00.000-05:002007-08-10T09:51:00.000-05:00Back to school time and that first cold night that...Back to school time and that first cold night that lets you know that summer is almost over always seem like a signal for transition.
