For this girl, school started in July. She took a job as a bus driver to help pull her weight around the house. :) Then we all have our birthdays. I worked on mine and then came home and ate a sandwich and took a nap. For Brian, we went to eat steak and he got a birthday dessert. When we are not at school we hang out with friends. This is the daughter of one of my college roommates. We get together for dinner and occasionally do other social stuff. This time we made cookies. The fall is a prime time for ballooning in the Southwest. They launch balloons at local schools and we went one early morning to see it. Fall is also a good time for picnics. There is a duck pond on the university campus. We had sandwiches and then frolicked. It is great to have such good weather.
