October has arrived and brings the true fall. Now life on Newark-Granville Road has to catch up. I finally took the summer, well it really is spring decor, down from the front door and put up a fall wreath. The glass pumpkins are calling to me from their crates and we're enjoying delicious apples Joe picks up weekly at Lynds.
September was beautiful. It wrapped up with Big Red Weekend at Denison: Denison BRW Pics and this article: Article @ BRW 22 I'm proud and grateful for the work and relationships. Joe split the transition with a visit "home" for his high school reunion and we had a great time sharing stories on Sunday. We sure make great memories living in our college town- see the photos below!
The month started with three weekends in a row of Fighting Scott Field Hockey- oh how I love to sit in that Papp stadium and just be her mom. What a great group of parents and a fantastic place Clare calls home.
Sally's senior season is impressive and the inspiration for the post title. Watching her out there defending is a thing of beauty. Her homecoming style- classic beauty:

I didn't act fast enough to buy the senior day pictures from the official photographer but I did enjoy walking across that field with Joe and Sally. She is working hard and we're proud of her commitment to school, friends, team, and family. Senior is exciting!
Meanwhile, Peter is happy at Wabash-I'll share a photo to keep things equal with updates on all three kids. The guys in the red stripes- Sphinx Club members.
The big news in the extended family is my Mom's move to Woodbine, MD with Michale Bolinger. We're happy and grateful for this special relationship. Packing up and moving wasn't simple but she owned it and did really well. Thanks to Sarah and Matt for their support and help, and Greg and Joe too. Uhaul drives, and attending real estate closings are the "other duties as assigned" in a marriage. It is a beautiful new house and a very special relationship. She will miss Hagerstown but will stay engaged and we're grateful for all the love and support she has there.
I traveled to San Fran and DC- our country is beautiful and September provided so much gorgeous weather, truly summer-like or end of summer as Summer does not end until the solstice! I didn't golf, I didn't swim but I enjoyed open-toe shoes and special fresh-air moments with great people! Hiking the "Stanford Dish" was one example.
I'll try to post before November! If not you know it is because I'm enjoying this beautiful life on Newark-Granville Road.
