I had last Monday's post partially written, but never got a chance to get it finished and posted Perhaps I'll have better luck today!
The Jigsaw Puzzle That I Just Completed
Highlights from the past couple of weeks include...
... preparing for programs and special events at work. September and October are going to be challenging and wall-to-wall jam-packed!

...attending the family reunion on my dad's side of the family.
My Cousin, Teresa, and I
...the reunion was a week ago Saturday; on Monday (Labor Day), my cousin, Ray, passed away. Amber and the kids and I were right back in Odessa on Friday for the funeral.
The View From Atop the Hill at Greenton Cemerery
...while at Odessa (on both occassions) we got in a good visit with my mom's best friend from school days and beyond. We are so thankful to still have Pat in our lives! She's a treasure!
