Summer's End

I'm looking at a charming quilted cushion with an appliqued house and two trees and the embroidered words "Home Sweet Home." Today home indeed feels sweet after a week away on vacation. Only a week, but it felt longer with several different things crammed in. Our week started in New Brunswick with a family celebration for our 40th Anniversary. It was great to be with sisters, brother, nephews and cousins. This was followed by a three day trip to a golf resort on Prince Edward Island. Two rounds of golf at challenging courses in the beautiful surroundings of the Rodd Brudenell River Resort will be remembered in the years to come. Driving, exploring the countryside and spending time visiting various relatives and friends in Nova Scotia filled the remainder of the week. It was a good week for travel - almost the end of summer. The traffic seemed moderate and people seemed relaxed. The weather has changed to be noticeably cooler (and much more to my liking) and fall is in the air.
