My house is peaceful except for the sound of the fan breezing the cool morning air through the house.  The girls are still sleeping soundly at 9 a.m.  I let them sleep out of pure selfishness.  The cats are lying in the hot sunshine hitting the bedroom floor.  By now I usually have all the curtains drawn to keep the hot sun out....but cats need spoiling as well.

The Major is gone again.  Training CAPpers on the use of night vision goggles.  He flew to WA in a Cessna.  I know being in the sky brings him some peace.  He has said he feels close to God as he wings his way over our earthly terrain. 

Summer is slipping by rapidly.  This one in particular as the end draws near so does the leaving of my eldest daughters best friend.  He begins a new chapter in life....college.  Off to Texas.  K is use to being the one leaving...the feeling of being the one left behind is new to her.  She hates change as she has had a lot of it.    Thank goodness for email!!

So, off to enjoy the waining summer.  And looking forward to cooler days, pumpkins and smores on the firepit.
