These are my dear friends who I worked with for many years. We've all been retired now for awhile, and many of us are feeling the years. We get together for lunch every two weeks and every one who is able comes.

I'm excited because I'll be away for the next couple of weeks helping Tom and Kelly with the new addition to their family of three active little boys.

I crocheted some "Angry Birds" or I prefer "Happy Birds" for Scarlett to play with.



Tuesday was the first day of school and here she is ready for first grade, so excited and happy.



Scarlett has learned to tie her shoes and is so proud of herself!




We had a lovely Labor Day weekend as Steve, Marta, Gabriel, and Alejandra came to visit us all the way from Florida. Saturday we went to the zoo.



I didn't take enough pictures! I need a picture of Marta here! Marta, do you have one? If so, please send it and I'll add it!
