Thanks to Covid, there aren't any fall festivals this year. Obviously I understand why, but it's still a bit sad. And even if they weren't cancelled, we would not attend during this time anyway.
This is also our first year in 4 years without high school football. I thought I would miss it more than I do. I do miss seeing my son in his uniform, but I am glad to have my Friday nights back.
And speaking of that son, he is now at Miami University and I miss him terribly. They went back late due to Covid so while I do miss him, I am also happy that he is there and able to get on with his life. It's hard on the kids to have so much put on hold. I worry about his health, but so far he has been tested for Covid twice and has been fine. Much prayers going up that things stay that way.
The other boys are still in school. I wasn't sure how long the schools would stay open, but we have not had a significant surge in Covid cases so far, so they are plodding along. I pray that it stays this way also.
All of my fall decorations are up. Now if I could just get this house in order. I was on a good track, but got sidelined by not feeling well (not Covid) so I'm back to square one. Next week looks to be very busy, and then I have jury duty the last 2 weeks in October. I am not looking forward to that. But I was able to get out of it the last two times I was put on jury duty so this time I'm all in.
I hesitate to even mention the election. All I'm going to say that I'm praying fervently every day for our country. And no matter what happens, I know that God is still in control.
