First Day of Fall

Happy Fall Everyone!

I am extremely jealous of my sister, Carolyn, right now as she is on her way to Maine to visit our dad's side of the family, my godparents, and family friends.   Of course she picks the last weekend in September to go which is typically the peak of fall foliage, but it looks like it is behind this year (http://www.maine.gov/doc/foliage/report/index.shtml).  I hope she has a wonderful visit, especially with our awesome grandmother who is 87 (88 in December).   I have lost both my parents, both my grandfathers (3 out of 4 to cancer, Poppa Pratt to strokes - although he had pancreatic cancer in 1960 and was sent home to die - lived til 2001!).   Both of my grandmothers are still alive (my mother's mother is 94, will be 95 in January).  They are both very strong women and both still live alone.   I hope and pray I get those genes!!!!  I love you both very much.

Have a great Friday!
