THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING!

Summer is finally over! YYYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!! I am so glad for the cooler weather, the rain and wind and cooler temperatures are so refreshing for me! Have I mentioned lately that I HATE heat??!! LOL.

Dan is out guiding an Elk hunt this week with a guy that works for him. I got a brief phone call from him today and he said they were hunkered down by an outgropping of rocks trying to avoid the wind, rain and even some snow. I'm glad he thinks that's fun! Not me boy, give me my fireplace and my warm, soft Michigan blanket and a good book, football game or some bull riding and I'm a happy girl!

Megan has been calling me and asking for a lot of recipies lately. She's finally getting interested in cooking...mostly thanks to Vic. He told her she doesn't stand a chance of getting married if she can't cook! He's so funny! Anyway, I have been working on making a cookbook for her. One of the things I miss most about my Mom is being able to call her and ask about one of her recipies, so I decided I should make mine available to Megan. This being "soup season", I have been working a lot on my soups. It's kind of hard though, because I usually just throw things together and in order to make them "Meganable" I have to put some kind of measurements down!

I am taking my photography to the next level. I am going to be selling my pictures at the LDS bookstore here in town. It is under new ownership and the new owner likes my landscapes and has asked me to frame some, with scripture on them, to sell in the bookstore. I'm excited, but I really have no idea how much I should charge for them, considering the cost of ink, paper, frames etc. Any ideas???

So, for the most part, things are quiet around here. My sister and nieces are coming for a visit, and Doug, Liz, Brighton and Lilly are coming as well. I am so excited to see all of them, but mostly, I am excited for my sweetheart to come home, which isn't for several more days, unless Pat gets his Elk!
