    Smile I'm officially a third ager...

    My last child flew down east to go to university last week. I'm not missing her yet...thanks to MSN, Facebook, and an unlimited long distance cell phone plan. But I think it could be coming once university starts and she gets distracted.

    I've also been mega-busy, which has helped. Contractors were in and out last week, and more this week I think. Things are starting up again in town, now fall is here. It's a busy time of year. And we have a ton of house renos to do. And then there's my backlog of projects to get onto!

    I am looking forward to this time with both excitement and trepidation. And I think DH is too. He's been a little more attentive than usual...mmmm....

    Well I guess I won't be bored... I have a shirt to sew for a friend in return for produce, and a rug to fix up for hanging for a friend of a friend ...for pay. That should occupy me for a couple weeks...maybe...depending what else I have to do...
