Fall Fell

Over the weekend fall fell in several ways. The kids have returned to school, BYU is back in session, and Katy has moved to Alta Apartments for the year. The weather turned cool and the first signs of orange are showing on the mountain. So it all feels quite official: fall has arrived.

Mike and Linda Gibbs brought daughter Chelsea to BYU and they have been staying with us. Debby Gibbs came to town to help Alison get settled in at Utah State and they spent the weekend here as well. On Sunday the family came for dinner and we were joined by the various Gibbs families plus Rob and Mia Wai who have arrived on the mainland for school at BYU.

On Sunday after dinner all the kids went to the park and were caught in a furious downpour. They, quite naturally, thought it was the best thing ever!

Labor Day became Lethargy Day. We finished moving Katy's stuff and did some furniture arranging and picture hanging. Earlier I made a potato salad in anticipation of lunch at the cabin. By late morning, however, it was cold and pouring rain. So I sent the salad to Brickerhaven with Amy and we stayed home. Anna and Emily and their kids came and we spent the afternoon doing absolutely nothing -- complete lethargy. Millie came by and the sun came out (coincidence). At that point things became somewhat more productive as weed pulling was added to sitting in the sun, visiting and vegging.

So all in all it has been a pretty fun weekend. That's all for now.
