My mom thought it would 'age' better. Only my mother would look at a vinyl one inch binder as a collectible or an investment.

I wait for it from about July 1st, after the pool fun wears off. I love the cool air, the baking and cooking, the leaves, just everything...the sounds of the marching bands practicing on the field, the picking out of costumes...I could go on.<BR/>Great post!thirtysomethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564139651442295144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-57375774514904533672007-09-05T20:33:00.000-05:002007-09-05T20:33:00.000-05:00No football in my hometown: obviously, we were al...No football in my hometown: obviously, we were all about HOCKEY.

In the small towns everyone rallies around the home team - even if they don't have a relative playing on the team. It's a place to see and be seen! I remember the first time my parents let me walk to Pizza Hut with "the gang" after a football game - I felt like I was a part of something big - I still remember what I wore and how everything looked and smelled - that gorgeous woodsmoke smell that's just so sharp in your nose! Oh I love fall (and football!) too!<BR/><BR/>http://nebraskabelle.blogspot.com/LoriAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567777495182314098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-40469499359425573302007-09-05T17:46:00.000-05:002007-09-05T17:46:00.000-05:00I wish we had 4 seasons here!

When I was in Kindergarten, Scott got his Trapper Keeper. He is proudly displaying it in front of him.

The basement looks great! Our basement while sorta tidy needs attention, we have a hard time sometimes of letting go of stuff.<BR/><BR/>Is a Trapper Keeper a type of binder? It sure sounds familiar. Then again I visited several Target's on my recent trip...maybe I saw one.<BR/><BR/>Glad Mason is well and congrats to Brenna writing her name. Rosebud is turning four next week and can only write a handful of letters. I am trying not to be anxious - Papoosie Girl could write all her letters and name by this age...I know it is no big deal, but it is stressing me a bit. Good for you for being so relaxed and good for Brenna for being such a dedicated little girl.Jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100043209000589029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-56675485350941867002007-09-05T09:20:00.000-05:002007-09-05T09:20:00.000-05:00What's a Trapper Keeper?I like fall too, but it's ...What's a Trapper Keeper?<BR/>I like fall too, but it's so SHORT here.
