Summer is over.

We had a busy summer here but then what summer isn’t busy here? Here are a few highlights of how I spent my summer.

We are developing an acreage next door complete with house, outbuildings, etc. It’s a LOT of work. Dare I believe the end is in sight?

The garden was bountiful. Something I am always grateful for despite the work involved.

We had visitors and attended a couple reunions. That’s always enjoyable.

There was a Grade Nine graduation for two granddaughters who were lovely to behold.

A tornado touched down nearby, destroying several homes and leaving behind an unbelievable swath of destruction. Such powerful tornados are relatively rare here. Thankfully. Our community rallied around the disaster zone and with hundreds of volunteers cleaned up the debris in about a month. I am so proud to be part of such a supportive community.

We lost a few friends and relatives. It’s always hard to say a final goodbye.

Now fall is upon us. My favorite time of year. I’m hoping to get back into the writing grove. Montana Mail Order Brides series is still releasing and I’m happy to announced I am working on a new series. I’ll have more news about that in the new year.
