My husband and I got a little nostalgic this week as we discussed that it was already time for kids to head “Back to School.”  We were raised in different areas of the country, but when we were kids we didn’t go back to school until after Labor Day.  We both remember long summer days to run, play, go on vacation, and get bored.  You didn’t tell Mom or Dad you were bored because then they would find a chore for you to do.  I was a avid reader so I spent many days reading a book or absorbing teen magazines.  Mom and I got hooked on soap operas in the afternoon one summer but realized that we needed to give those up. Very time consuming to keep up with all those characters and their drama….now the drama is on our phones 24/7!

Weekends and holidays found us at our grandparents house...

No doubt.  Fall is my absolutely favorite time of year.  The cooler, crisper air, the tree color changes, a blue October sky, the lingering shadows, richer foods and, of course, football (more college ball than pro for me).

It is my favorite time to drive around and see all the colors and marvel that God can make something beautiful out of something that is dying.  All of mid-Missouri is just beautiful for several weeks and it is our busiest season of all.  We are gearing up as our calendar is filling up for September and October.  There are so many wonderful festivals and events in our area.

Chamois will be host several events as our annual Chamois Day Festival will be September 17th with vendors, games, tours and food and reunions...
