Marching Through September

One of the real joys for us is to follow the high school football games that our grandson, Austin, is playing in on every Friday night. Following an off night last week, he bounced back this week in their homecoming game. He ran for 209 yards on 13 carries, including a 62 yard touchdown run in his team's 54-7 victory. He continues to shine as a Junior, and we are thrilled to watch him grow through his high school years. Last night was the homecoming dance, so we are anxious to see the pictures that Patty has from the big weekend. Don't we all recall those wonderful years. Austin has a bright future ahead, and we are excited and proud to watch his progress.

The month of September seems to be moving fast as we are now more than half way through. Once October arrives, the time should pass even faster with the holiday seasons of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas not too far away. The time seems to fly by when there are holiday festivities. That, plus the peak season at Amazon which is super busy and that helps make the time go faster. The only downside is the colder weather that comes during that time. Hopefully, this will be the last year that we spend a (partial) winter in a colder climate. Unless, of course, it is spent sitting in a log cabin somewhere with the fireplace going and a having a nice glass of hot cider to drink while watching the wildlife pass by outside. Sounds good to me.

Yesterday was a day that was very different from Friday. All the new faces were gone and we had our usual, small number of people working on the weekend shifts. Actually, there is no night shift on Saturday night - yet - so there really isn't a need for those extra people until Monday. We actually prefer the more laid back weekend schedule. That will all change when peak season hits. Until then, we'll just take whatever comes...
