Settling in

We are still working on getting things done. We have many projects to complete before we are settled in here at the lake. Things that have to be done before the winter gets here. Once the cold weather sets in we will not be able to get much done outdoors.
I spend most of the day in my new studio painting some of the pictures I took in Colorado. I don't have heat or air out there so I have a small window to get those completed. I am going to have a sale next week in hopes of getting enough money to replenish my supply of canvas. I know I will never get rich at painting but as long as I have the materials to do what I love to do I will be happy.
Kris is off to school this morning and Sherri and I are planning on heading off to the store to do some grocery shopping. You know a guy has to eat...

I think Winter is just around the corner

Sherri and I woke up Monday morning to a cold wind blowing out of  the north. On top of the cold wind the rain started coming down. This to me is and indication that winter is coming real soon. We never have a Fall here in North Texas it just goes from hot to cold over night. 
Today is Wednesday and yes it is still raining but the temps have mellowed somewhat. I have spent most of my time in my studio or hanging wall decor for Sherri in the cabin. This is the way we pass the time in the winter months while we are here at the lake.
We had planned on staying on Lake Palestine with Jennifer and her family. We decided, however, to save our money and buy us a boat. We use to have a boat years ago and enjoyed spending time on the lake fishing and exploring. When we were transferred to North Carolina we sold the boat and never got another. Now is the time to buy another boat and have some entertainment during the winter months when we are here and not in Colorado.
Sherri is not feeling well today. I think this weather going back and forth is messing with here sinuses. I hope that it settles in..

Did I mention that we made it back to the lake cabin

Kris's first day at school

Our welcome home sky

It was rather hot here when we first got back but since that time we have noticed that the weather is cooling down. We have stayed indoors for the most part and enjoyed that HVAC. I have worked a little out in my studio on some paintings that different ones have requested. I have to paint early in the morning because as the sun gets higher in the sky my studio gets too warm to work in.
Kris started back to public school and seems to really enjoy it. He was up to what they are studing and has made some good grades. There are some areas we need to work on but for the most part he is doing quite well.
It has been strange not getting him up and starting school. I kind of miss teaching but then with him off to school early Sherri and I have time to get some things done around the place.
We went and visited our son Jason. It was our grandson Hayden's Birthday. We had a good time visiting and seeing their new swimming pool. We did not get to use it due to the cool temps that moved in along with a rain storm. I know we will get to enjoy it later...
