September Happenings

     Brenda decided it was time to paint the kitchen over "Labor Day" weekend. The new color is tomato bisque. We love it!
     Then we celebrated Emily's 23rd birthday. Her last one as a single woman.
     Hurricane Irene traveled up into Alabama and did her damage on our home. We had to get some new fencing, roof repairs for a leaking ceiling and new carpet for the boys' room. So, of course, we're going to paint the walls!!!!!  Now it's a two-tone room.
     Finally we had a chance to go hiking at our local Oak Mt. State Park on a gorgeous Saturday.
