Happy Fall Equinox
Well drat! I got half a post written and managed to erase all of it except one letter. I was nattering on about all my grandkids going back to school. Let me see if I can redo it. Sigh. Oh yes, the 11 and 10 year-olds are back in school so my park walking, movie watching companions are busy. Although I did take them overnight on a Friday night a week ago and had a movie marathon.
The newly minted 16 year-olds have their new driver's licenses are busy now too. No, They are not twins. One is adopted and their birthdays are one day apart. My youngest son who (in high school) swore he would never have kids) has three home grown ones and six adopted ones. Ha ha ha. Four years ago he saw a shiny black used Chevy truck for a good price (no good prices now) and it ran well. I tried to talk him into letting me buy it. He saved it for the two now 16 year-olds to drive. He thought, as did I with his brother and he, that wrapping the new drivers in heavy metal might save their precious bodies from damage in an accident. The truck I bought my sons was kind of a beater but this one is a beauty and I think I'd be temped to speed along in it, radio on, windows down, omg. My inner child is 16 unless she's 10.
I am so glad the 100+ degree days are gone. Fall is my favorite season. My eldest was born in October. We camped at Mt. Helen's three weeks before he was born, long before it erupted. It was a beautiful park. And so quiet all the tourists had gone home. And fall was when we got new clothes for school. I still buy myself new undies in the fall. 😁 I will try to get a photo of the park pond here when the trees change color. But right now I am having trouble getting my photos to download so until I figure that out I will quit for now. Maybe it's time to take myself for a walk in the park. 💓
Just found this, not my photo. Belongs to the Whitman Mission National Historic site. Fresh today. This is about 7 miles out of town. I love walking there as well.

We didn’t have the heat you had but I am glad it’s cooler here too. We have three grandchildren and they keep us busy. It must be wonderful to have more but hard to keep up with them?
Marie, it's getting a little harder to keep up with them lately. There is a family dinner together at the kid's house. Most of this side of the family lives here shows up if they can.
Is that photo at the Whitman Mission? I was there in 2019. Interesting place, interesting history. Six adopted kids? He's a good man!
Happy Equinox.
I presume you know that CTRL+Z will undo whatever you’ve done, and you can press it multiple times. You may have been able to get you post back. There are also undo and redo arrows up top left of your compose screen.
Tom - yes it is the Whitman Mission. It's only a few miles from where I live. I moved over here from Seattle. I take the grandkids there regularly.
CTRL+Z will bring things back? Hmmm... I want to try that.
I'm glad you had such happy fall news, Celia. I can't believe it's October. My eldest was also born in October. :-)
