Change in seasons


Hello everyone,
This is picture is from Jen's cousin's wedding she was in a few weeks ago in St. Paul, MN.
I haven't posted much as of late. Every spare minute we have had has been spent outdoors doing something. As the forecast says rain/snow this week, we are in complete understanding that the beautiful fall days can quickly pass us by. Jen and I are outdoor people and love just being outside with each other and our 3 dogs (Jazzie - lab mix, Marley - yorkiepoo, Nilla -yorkiepoo). We have been out to our lake on the Missouri River, quite a few times this fall on the weekends to walk and enjoy the colors. We have also been golfing when time allows. Yesterday we went for a nice motorcycle ride along the river to enjoy the sights and smells of fall.

Jen and I have been trying to spend more time relaxing lately and less time being BUSY. I tend to be a busy body and always am on the go. Must be a Holst acording to other postings!
The economy has been a crazy thing for me to watch lately as a small business owner. We haven't seen any dramatic impact on our sales, but I am taking a cautious approach to planning for the months to come. I am hoping that our customer base is diversified enough that we will spread out any decreased spending among all of them. Crazy times we are living in!! It has been an interesting time to be in business. I think things will be up and down for the next 9-12 months, thus making it non-typical from what I have seen in the last 5 years.
I don't have any deep insights to type about, but as things come to me I will try and put them on "screen".

Fall is such a wonderful season. Your post reminded me of when we were kids and would have picnics out on Farm Island. I can still smell the woodsy odor of damp leaves and smoke from the fire.
Bravo for your decision to spend more time enjoying life with Jen. Learning to be present and enjoy the moment is a worthwhile endeavor!
