I can't believe that the school started already. Somehow, it starts early August in East Tennessee. So I feel like it should be cooler, but it's still August, so it is still hot. Summer is not over yet.
We had a busy first half of summer vacation. We went to Florida, we attended Wedding, my daughter went to drama summer camp, and we went to Florida again.
But last half of summer vacation was very slow. We didn't have any plan, and the construction was going on, we practically stayed home everyday, not doing anything much.
It was not really fun for my daughter nor for me.
So we are so glad to have school started. And the construction is done, so we can now paint the newly renovated bathrooms and bedrooms. Suddenly we are very busy!
Here are the sweets that I made during summer. I was so fortunate to have good berries and peaches in June and July. Almost all the sweets were made with local fruits.
Today marks one year from the day we came to TN form North East. I feel like I didn't do anything this past year. We had the cycle of having renovation going on, which means I get stressed out having workmen in the house all the time, then it's done and they are gone for a while but we can't relax, because we have to paint, then the next renovation starts.... we did that 3 times in the past year. Our painting part is not done yet. But after that, it's done for now. I am glad.
I hope 2nd year of our new life in Appalachia will be nicer. We couldn't go out much because either we wanted to do something at home while the workers are not around, or we had to paint. I'd love to visit lots of places and check out some events. I want to start working if it's possible. I don't know if there are many chances like in North East for me to make dance costumes, but I would like to do something with my skill.
There are a lot of hopes for the future.
