August has come to an end

We have had a couple of really nice days, but today is chilly, damp and windy. It is suppose to be like this through the night and maybe clearing of tomorrow afternoon. I took advantage of the cooler weather to turn my oven on and made some bread sticks and pretzels. It was a new recipe and they turned out pretty good.

I have been watching CNN's coverage of the hurricane and I simply can not even begin to imagine what those poor people are going through. The total and complete devastation of so many areas! It really does make you wonder how on earth they ever do rebuild after something like this.

Since last night was Gary's golf night, Crystal and I had a girl's night which was nice. We both had some shopping to do, so as soon as daycare kids left we headed out. After we were done our shopping we went out and ate supper. It is nice to be able to spend time like that with her.

I haven't talked to Ryan this week, but he should be back in Abbotsford till Sunday I think he told me. He spent some of the time last week just getting his bearings, looking to see what was around, and just generally figuring out where he was.

Tomorrow is Gary's birthday. We won't really be doing anything special for it as we are going into Winnipeg for a weekend in early October to celebrate his birthday and our anniversary. I told him that I would take him to Red Lobster for supper. We don't have on of those restuarants here so it is a very nice treat when we go to the city.

The only knitting that I have been working on is the wrap I am doing. I did go and by the rest of the yarn for the WW's that I have left to do but haven't cast another one on yet.
