We had a fast and busy Labor Day weekend, but it was good. Saturday we had a big yard sale, and I was thrilled to sale a few bulky furniture pieces and a lot of little things besides. We are in the process of moving both teens out and away to college and reclaiming their rooms for other--much needed--purposes. The yard sale was hot but fun, and it's always nice to see your old things going to a new family that is glad to have them. (We sold a lot of books too, which, sadly, we were unable to keep due to lack of storage space. Someday we hope to have more bookcases and to never get rid of loved books again).

Other fun things from the weekend: making origami boats, dipped in wax, from Action Pack (super fun!), having friends over for dinner Sunday night and enjoying a big bonfire, having a picnic from the leftovers on Monday, and sailing our little boats out in nature.

And now it is back to school for real, and the long haul to Veteran's day.
