Where has September gone? I feel like it was just August! Well not really, I do feel like I've been back to work for at least 5 months!
Today, my son came home from a work trip. He is working as a generator tech and went out of state to do a series of jobs. This was the first time he worked alone and because of excessive rain , and equipment decisions made by other people he had some VERY stressful times and I had a few when there were terrible winds and rain where he was working and I could not get in touch with him. So today I went to the airport to pick him up and spend a little time with him. It was so good to see him. I cannot imagine how people have their children go off to war and manage not to go insane with worry! While we were waiting for his bag, two older women were near us. Steven must have heard them say something, because he reached out and just picked up their huge bag with one hand off the baggage carousel and settled it on floor for them. They were so surprised and grateful and I just felt so good about my son to see him do something kind so naturally. It really felt nice to be his mother then!
I'm up to the underarm gusset part of my gansey so soon I'll be doing some more interesting knitting. Now, I'm finished with the Sat. chores and dinner so I'm going to knit and try to stay up to watch at least a little TV!

I hear you about the months flying by! I thought summer just started a couple of weeks ago? They said on the radio last week that the trees are turning earlier than usual this year. Well, that just adds to the speeding days!
Your son sounds like a terrific man, thoughtful and kind! You did a good job! Glad you got to spend some time with him and I bet he was glad, too, after returning from a stressful trip!
