the last week of (my) summer.

ESL Summer School was a great success again this year. Can't believe we've run the program for 4 years already. Love it! :)

Now I have a week off - yeah! Just enough time to relax and be ready for the school year. I have house projects and cleaning on my list for this week, along w/ some errands and time to spend w/ friends. I'm glad for a week when I get to not set my alarm clock - yeah! :)

Today was grand, I stayed in my p.j.s until about 2p.m. I got plenty done at home though: cleaning, baking, more unboxing, did my nails, sorted mail, and finally figured out how to change my name on Facebook. I think I've made it through most all of my name change documents now. I only have my library card and passport addendum left. Whew. What a lot of phone calls and paper work.

Tonight we're going to walk to Open Face for dinner. Can't wait! I love it there. I've said it before, but here I go again: amazing food, good prices, great people, cool music and atmosphere - :) ! I only wish they stayed open later. They close at 7. I love all the places we can get to on foot. We've got the greatest neighborhood and very cool neighbors too.

We took part in an impromptu street sale on Saturday. They had planned for it and advertised, we thought it was to be on Sunday and were surprised by the extra traffic a day early. We went out to see folks and bought some lovely old wooden furniture. Decided late morning to put some of our stuff out just for fun and ended up selling plenty of our extra stuff. In the end we spent about as much as we earned. It was a gorgeous sunny day and I was very glad to be outdoors. We had some nice conversations w/ folks on our street. :)

Will share more photos soon. :)
