September

We have had a cooler than normal summer this year, including more than our share of 20-degree (68 F) days with the windows open, the sun shining brightly and the balmy breezes blowing through the house. Some hot and muggy days have come our way, but not nearly as many as there could have been. My suspicion is that we will pay for all this come January. In the meantime, September has arrived. Classes start at Redeemer next tuesday. The following day Theresa starts kindergarten, which is causing her mom and dad to feel a mixture of apprehension, joy that she has come this far, and perhaps a touch of sadness at the thought of her leaving behind another stage in her still young life. (Tomorrow is her very last day at the Redeemer Childcare Centre.) Whenever this month rolls around, I find myself with this song by Kurt Weill going through my head much of the time. May God bless you during September and always.
