I went to my daughter's house before work to watch my grandchildren get on the school bus on their first day of school! Verne's in 3rd grade, Abby in 1st, and little Natalie is in 3 day preschool this year. It's amazing how quickly they grow!
My sister came to visit over Labor day weekend and we took a drive up to Rockport, MA. We stumbled across the Emerson Inn and it was so charming and pretty. It was right on the water and we sat on the veranda and ate some lunch while watching the sailboats on the horizon. The weather was absolutely spectacular.
Last week was prep week at the school where I work and we worked hard to clean up the classroom and get everything ready for a new school year. The children were so happy to see one another when they came back to school!
My daughter has a bunch of old apple trees in her yard. They aren't always the best for eating because the trees are rather old but they are delicious in a pie!

stolen kisses much completer

our September here in eastern NY has been downright perfect so far. Although we do need rain which I guess is coming tomorrow.
When my oldest girl was at Gordon College in Wenham, I brought my youngest girl, still in HS to visit her sis and we all ended up going to Rockport to explore as well as to Gloucester. LOVE the north shore!! And now that oldest girl will be attending her 10th yr reunion at Homecoming at Gordon the end of the month. she and her bf and best guy friend from Gordon are all staying in Gloucester. she 's so happy to be going back.
ENJOY a relaxing weekend .
