Several things.
my sister was bald .... till forever.
my mom was clearly in the red & festive spirit.
That has nothing to do with summer.
Moving on.
This is a make-up post for 6 weeks of Summer weeks 4, 5 & 6.
Since it's officially fall now :)
Rex is doing homework at the other end of the table & I keep offering up random bits of conversation. It's not helping ... him .... or his homework.
So he's got his computer & I have mine.
I'm just going to keep crunching ice :)

The art of the group selfie ... being mastered by the Rodgers kids.
Back when Amie was here & she helped me scrub every wall & ceiling in the house ... right as harvest was starting & way before any crazy clean-everything-before-baby hits.
Cheap summer bouquets & little kids in jammies.
One day when Mom made donuts.
Another day when Chad was totally ready to stay & swim at Grandma's.

We'll call this next section -
I meet famous people .... & wear the same shirt .... & take pictures in bad lighting :)
Amber hunted me down in Toronto & we stayed till way too late at a downtown pizza place .... completely refreshing to meet real life people that are real. Thanks for the effort & the hours together.
Jen Hatmaker .... was also a fun real life meet .... only she doesn't know me from Adam.
Erika, my lovely cousin on the right, while not (yet!) famous is beautiful in very way - xo.

Grandma's 'church wall'
I was all swoony when they sent it to me ..... like they cared enough to do it on their own .... except for Chad, obviously :)
Random family strolls through town ... with balloon hats.
Summer days/friend days.
Some mornings we cook eggs or blend protein shakes .... or just feed our kids Fruit Loops :)
Some days 2nd grade is too much for Regan & she abandons school for stuffed animals .... who seem to have all endured too much mothering from her, lol!!
When she takes 700 pictures of herself on my phone ....

Sometimes I still sit & listen to him dry run a sermon to an empty room.
His 'new' job is still amazing to think about as reality.
That wedding he did ....

No joke & I quote -

He's actually learning continents & oceans, but what he's showing me here is where he has determined the pirates live.

My grandparents house sold this month & after decades it's no longer 'in the family'.
Somehow that was all memory jerking & I stopped at the cemetery ....

Small slice of harvest life.
