Fall update

Well, I guess it's officially fall. The high temp today is only supposed to be 56. And, it's raining. Yuck.
We went to Renee's for the weekend, and went to the Bloomsburg Fair. It was really nice. Brighton is getting so big, and he's so social. We've started calling him Repeat, because that's exactly what he does. If there's a conversation going on, he'll stand there and repeat both sides. But, he changes it around so it makes sense that he's saying it. For example, if I'm saying to Keith, "I'm hungry, I'm going to find something to eat. You want something?" Brighton will say, "GiGi's hungry. She's going to find something to eat. You want some, Pop Pop?"
But, when we came home, we found that we have no water. Keith thinks the well pump went. So, the "well guy" is coming this morning. I took the morning off, so I can wait for him, and shower!!
On other fronts.....
Last weekend I went away with my bookgroup for a ladies only weekend at the beach. It was such a nice time. Beautiful weather. A whole weekend in either a bathing suit, sweats or pajamas. We played games, ate, slept, talked, watched the first season of SNL on dvd. It was so relaxing.
The boy I mentioned before has been spending more and more time at our house. And, it's happened. I've fallen for him. He's had such a sad, neglectful, abusive childhood so far. But, when he smiles because you do something simple for him (like buy apples at the grocery store because they're his favorite) he lights up. We asked him if he wants to live with us. He said he had to think about it. He's concerned about fitting in in our school system. And, he has a valid point. It won't be easy. So, we'll see where that goes.
That's about all I have.
See ya when I see ya.
