September 1

You arrived so quickly. Next thing you know we will be talking about the holidays. I am not sure I am ready for all that mess yet. Though I am ready for cooler, crisp, leaves changing colors, weather. So hopefully with the flip of the calendar it will flip the temps.

It has been a sad week up at the High School. Sunday they lost a student to a drowning accident in the Meramec River. He was a Sophomore. He was with his family, he went under and a cousin grabbed his hand and brought him back up. But the current took him back under and pulled him away. Divers later helped recover his body in about seven feet of water about an hour later. He was not a strong swimmer and unfortunately was not wearing a life jacket.

I just can not imagine their loss.

Oddly enough his uncle, who was with the family, works with CDD. Though until CD called to tell his dad that his friend had died they were not aware the boys went to school together. Small World.

Well this post took on a different direction than planned.

Very sad about that kid CD goes to school with.

I'm not ready for the holidays and all that either. But, it will get here sooooo fast. It always does.
