We did not labor on Labor Day!

Nor did we consider the plight of the working man. We did however go to Harper's Ferry in West Virginia for a fun daytrip. It is so beautiful there and I am hoping that we can go back and camp, enjoy more time on the river and do some of the hikes. But the town and it's history is so interesting. I know a little bit about John Brown and it was cool to see were everything happened. And as John Brown fought against slavery and the town was a factory town for so long I guess we did consider the plight of the working man after all!

The Shenandoah River was so beautiful. We wished we had brought our bathing suits for a swim.

Truman trying on a Civil War Soldier's gear.

The Fire house where John Brown made his stand.

Hiked up to Jefferson Rock or Jefferson Point or Jefferson Something. Basically Thomas Jefferson was here once and looked at the view!

Good Bye Old Friend

Well, the time has come for us to bid a heartfelt farewell to the good old '99 Camry. The water pump went out & Jack did not want to fix it, so we sold it on Craig's List. Then a fellow came with some cash and took it away. I was literally sad to see it go. It was a good car and it carried us to many, many adventures!

OK, so I was only sad for like a minute! Then I went and got in our new and improved Black Camry and drove Truman to school.

The Big Day!

Since it is the law in this country that you have to send your kids to school, I went ahead and sent Truman to his first day of Kindergarten.

He was so excited and I think he really likes his teacher and his class.

However this second week of school he has decided that maybe it is more fun at home and asks if he can stay home everyday. But I am sure he will get used to his new schedule in time and go back to being excited to go.

I do miss him but it is nice to have so much time to get things done on my own.
