September Saturday

It is Saturday and I think it could be what will become the new routine for Saturdays around here, at least during the fall. Jeff provided the technology expertise for bronco radio last night during the Falls/Virginia football game and then went to the radio station for a shift this morning until noon. I got up and helped Rachel get to the school by nine for a varsity girls swimming invitational in Bemidji.

I worked around the house and enjoyed the quiet. I'm still hoping Stephen will call tonight. Jeff has been in email touch with him and thought he was sounding homesick. But he did share that he had auditioned for the improv troupe at UMM. He thought it had gone well and was hopeful.

Our weather is definitely fallish with temperatures in the low 60s and showers. I am beginning to slowly get a few ripe tomatoes and this week managed to get one decent zucchini and made two loaves of lemon zucchini bread. I have also had a good crop of cucumbers this year and made 4 jars of pickles so far.

Rachel is swimming well if not more than she thought this year. They have a new coach and a small team. She is about the only girl who swims distance and is regularly swimming the 500. She is also being asked to swim the 200 and often the 50 in the medley relay and the 100 in the 4X100 relay. So she swims the first and last race of the meet and then two in the middle.

Enjoy your fall and let us know what is happening with you.
Diane
