Today was another warm, rainy day--it almost feels like summer with the humidity and high temps. We took one quick little trip out to the bakery this morning to purchase some Italian rolls for lunch and that was the extent of our travels for the day.

John spent most of his day looking over the rifles that his cousin had left here for him. They were his uncle's and had been stored at their shore place for years. The house has been sold, so she was cleaning it out and asked if John would want her dad's guns. John told her he would like to have them and that we would pick them up when we came east this fall. He has been looking them up on the internet and one rifle looks like it dates back to 1898.

I bought a bunch of photos with me and spent my afternoon working on a photo album of last winter's adventures in Texas. It will take me several days to get this job done and I still have more pics to print. There was a little break in the showers this afternoon, so I went outside and took a few pictures. As you can see, things are still very green here and some flowers are still blooming. Matt called this evening and said the leaves at home are at their peak for color and it is a very beautiful fall.

After supper the skies cleared off, so we took a walk around the town and old neighborhood. We walked down the street where I grew up and tried to remember the names of all the families that had lived there at one time.

It's amazing how different everything looks from an adult perspective. I remembered our driveway as a huge hill, and it's only a slight rise. The street is also much narrower and the houses smaller than I thought they were. How did our family live in such a tiny house? Everything seemed so much bigger when we were kids. We had a fun evening walking through the old neighborhoods and recalling some good and not so good adventures from childhood.
