Have you ever had a weekend that was so full, and so busy, that you were sort of glad when it was over?  I’m sure my husband would disagree (he's back to work in the morning), but for me, this was one of those weekends.  And don’t get me wrong, I love the weekend…but I need a Monday to recuperate! 

I did spend a lot of time taking pictures of the North Carolina property to post in the gallery—per a few special requests—so I hope you like those.  (You need to sign up for a free premier membership for access to the photo gallery.) The camera on my phone is pretty amazing, so I didn’t even need to pull out the big camera. 

If I wasn’t so busy trying to defend myself from a swarm of killer gnats, I would have taken more. 

The bugs in the woods are truly impressive.  I definitely need to get a refill of the organic bug spray!  But it was a very productive weekend. Finally, we have completed all of the preliminaries for buying the property, and now we just have to wait for the septic permit to be approved, and the sale will go forward.  I’m pretty excited. 

I have a busy week ahead, as well.  The girls are on fall break from school, and we are supposed to shop for Homecoming dresses.  It never ends, does it?  Oh well…they’re only kids once…thank God! 

Until the next time…a shopping I will go!
