Labor Day weekend! Yea!
Will I ever learn??? I made the fatal mistake of telling Noah that I would take him shopping to pick out his Christmas gift but unfortunately it didn't work out on Monday. He was less than happy about it. What I SHOULD HAVE DONE was not mention my plan until we were standing in the middle of Toys R US. Oh well, I still love the experience of watching the children looking at all the toys and making decisions about what they will enjoy the most. Saturday, Aaron and Rachel had their turn because they both have birthdays this month. It was a very good experience. They are older and when I set limits they mostly listen. Aaron found lots of great stuff to choose from. Rachel, sadly, could not find some the items on her list but we did find one. We were fortunate to find a surprise gift for Eve (sept 14th birthday) who will be 6 years old. She loves science fiction's Dr. WHO and she simply adores the evil Daleks. We found a Dalek for Eve. So many birthdays and so little time but so much fun! Aaron, Rachel, Eve, Jim, Nancy, David (my brother-in-law) and our anniversary........... I am tired just thinking about it.
Did anyone see the Food Channel when Matthews Cafeteria was featured? Jim and I had lunch there on Friday (we both took the day off just to be together).
With all the Hurricanes lining up, I think we better stop praying for rain for a few days. We just need one to stall over Lake Lanier for a day or two to break our drought.
Alton Brown on Good Eats is making Chiffon cupcakes so I think I will go and check out the recipe.

A DALEK! How cool is that! She will know beg you for a K-9 to balance out the force, so to speak! You are brave and certifiable, which I believe meets the criteria for shopping with grandchildren. Congratulations!
Those chiffon cupcakes sound divine!
So great to hear from you again!! Thanks for the good wishes on the upcoming storm(s). We're praying for some rain, but not too much. Good luck with all your birthdays, anniversaries, etc. this month. I know it is a GREAT month in your household!! Talk to you soon. Love ya!!
Busy, busy, busy! you sound like you are having a great time shopping. I finished "The Last Lecture" and loved every minuet of it. It is a book everyone should read.
