My favorite time of year! I love the fall. Even without the cider mills & donuts. I like that it can feel like a new beginning - similar to the New Year.
I think all of my planning for Michigan paid off. We were very busy but had a ton of fun & saw everyone I wanted to see with a few exceptions. I even saw some people I hadn't planned on seeing (yeah, Boona!) & got to see some friends more than expected (WK & JD). We spent two weeks at my parent's cottage, a week in Midland & a week near Todd's parents. For us, it was a lot of driving. And guess what? I don't like it one bit. I am a public transportation snob. So now I move on to planning the rest of this year.
I had two German lessons & was amazed that I didn't loose much. Don't get me wrong, that first lesson was a very long hour & a half but better than expected!
I was browsing in a book store in Michigan (sigh) & saw a magazine a friend loves. I know she stopped getting it a few years ago, so I ripped out the subscription card & signed her up for a year. Surprise RG!
I took lots of photos in Michigan & did okay the rest of the month. I carry my camera with me but seem to forget it is there most of the time. Which is unfortunate since I come across a lot of funny stuff in Germany!
Never made it to the gym or managed to open my vitamins...
Continued to be social. This seems to be the only thing I am good at! Went to the Netherlands to visit some friends we haven't seen since we lived in Boise in 2007 - for more info see the blog from August 18. We are so excited they are living closer. Todd & I went to Brussels (blog post August 25) for the night & then my usual book club & breakfasts with friends.
Off to drink some Federweisser!
