Fall has always been my favorite time of year because of school…. My sisters and I loved school and made it our career! Even the smell of a book and an old library sends me into raptures. ….. so now that I am retired, I am missing school.

But I am a nanny. And I just spent my first week with an 18 month old little girl who has a fierce temper and who does not talk. So the parents hired me to be the Mary Poppins who will work the miracle of speech. Hope I am up to the task of doing this job. Maybe Bea can think of a way to encourage her to speak. 😊 Love you all and sending warm hugs! Pat

I love all of the seasons but I like fall and spring best because I find the heat of summer and cold of winter makes me dread outside. Also during fall and spring everything is so colorful. the plants and trees are a feast for the eyes. I love your calendar idea, especially making up silly holidays. I think this is an activity Miles and I would really enjoy. My love to all!

Family calendar sessions! Alex (my wife) and I do this! Always a big production with large scale sticky notes and non-bleeding Sharpies. We really can only do three months in advance AT MOST. Glad you are gearing for a fun September! H
