Holidays

Wow! Is it really September? I went to the card shop a few days ago and was taken back by all the Halloween items already on display! But, then I realized that it was in fact September! Oh, no! Summer is indeed ending and the holiday season is upon us! May the holiday (read: shopping) madness begin!

Since moving to the Midwest two years ago, I am realizing that I love this part of the country! Unlike Florida, where I spent more than half of my life, the Midwest has four very distinct seasons. In Florida there was: Summer, scorching hot Summer, Summer, and slightly cooler Summer!!

In a few weeks, the trees will be changing their leaves to display their brilliant shades of autumn and the cool air will once again invigorate me.....
