Your children will be like olive shoots around your table*

Look at that blue sky! Our little trip to Laumeier Sculpture Park on Labor Day morning was a success.

Mr. Smith got pretty worn out by the end, and had to be carried part of the way, but we all had fun.

I hadn’t been there in a couple of years. The twins had never been there at all and were introduced to the concept of “Sculpture”.

I don’t think they were that impressed, but enjoyed doing something different and seeing all the other dogs. Likewise Mr. Smith.

We went home and ate bagels and apples and then we watched the end of Ghostbusters, which we had started a few weeks ago. Then we played outside and then they played inside with Legos and then their dad picked them up. I collapsed.

It was a pleasant long weekend. Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx Cup! (He’s had quite a year–It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.)

And I watched a couple of good movies, notably The Undefeated (1969) with John Wayne and Rock Hudson and The Best of Times (1986) with Robin Williams and Kurt Russell.

I felt better after watching both of these movies, which is not something you feel a lot these days, you know what I mean?

Now I am getting ready for the arrival of daughter #2 and her famille on Thursday. Can’t wait to see these little firecrackers…

They’ve sure got the moves.

So, welcome, September! Stay positive! Pet a nice dog, take a walk in the sunshine, watch an old movie.
