September 2019

This was a full month for us.  I spent a lot of time harvesting and preserving food.  We also spent a lot of time helping Kevin finish his addition.  I had foot surgery on the 26th of September.  Octavia came into the world three weeks early on September 30.  She is the first member of our family to have a September Birthday.  She weighed only five pounds.  How grateful we are that she arrived safely and that she was allowed to come home from the hospital with her mother.  The addition on the house was almost finished in preparation for her coming.  It was nice to see Kevin get his Silver Beaver Award on September 7th.  Craig and I had a chilly but a very relaxing visit to Debbie's cabin in Montana.  We enjoyed the scenery, some good books and movies and I took time to paint a few pictures with my watercolors.  It was beautiful in Montana as always.  We feel so fortunate to be able to enjoy Jim and Debbie's cabin.

We were glad to be there at the right time to see it.

We took the Razor to the Lake
