For reasons I won't detail here, I've decided to end this blog prematurely. No big crisis here, babies are fine, but for my own reasons this isn't something I want to continue.
Thank you for reading and (hopefully) enjoying my words over the past year!
Best regards,

Happy Days
I imagine that Hurricane Earl spied our late-staying visitor, summer, and swept her away to sea. Whether he can take credit or not, I really cannot say, but by his or someone else's good graces, the air here has finally changed. Windows are open to the across-the-street neighbor's last-of-summer pool party, and while newscasters lament the end of the season at the shore, the third floor set is in a great state of rejoicing.
The crisper sunshine and cooler breezes have initiated a lovely weekend which I record for the sake of remembrance here:
Friday our offices closed early so Gus and I drove home together and enjoyed a siesta before my acupuncture appointment downtown. We caught a later dinner at Jack's Firehouse across from the Eastern State Penitentiary before heading home to our first full night without the air conditioner since May.
Yesterday, a mid-day walk, innocuous enough but unheard of these many months, and a visit again to my favorite store Terrain. For lunch, Gus' vegetarian sandwich and the Sunday crossword. That evening, a drive downtown to Matyson BYOB where we met up with friends for a fantastic dinner. Below, my attempt at making elastic waistband hip and fashionable:
Note my fabulous Hermes mini scarf which I tied to my bag!
Today, after pancakes in bed (how luxurious!), another breezy walk followed by a trip to JoAnn Fabrics for a few Halloween projects, inspired by the most recent issue of Country Living. Laundry hung outside, I worked on an embroidery project while Gus studied. We caught an early evening show ("The American" with George Clooney) and plan to tuck into lentil soup with baguette and cheese for dinner.
Life is so good!
