Hello blog readers! It's been ages!
In our defense, we've had a very busy past few months...
David's company has been contracted by BP, and they've been working non-stop on a very important project that will be reviewed by the US Senate - the outcome will determine the government's decisions regarding the moratorium on offshore drilling in the Gulf. Because this project is so high-profile, David's company has decided that they have the right to change David's schedule at the last minute, with no notice whatsoever (last hitch, they kept him for four weeks instead of three, and they keep us hanging one day at a time...)
And after spending most of the summer recovering from the car accident, I was asked to join the Theatre Department faculty at Ithaca College, so now I'm teaching Acting every morning! In addition to being an instructor at IC, I'm still teaching Drama & Dance in Trumansburg in the afternoons, so my free time is almost nil.
Luckily, before things got too busy with both of my jobs, we were able to spend a wonderful Labor Day weekend with David's family in West Virginia! This was my first visit to the annual Campione Family Reunion, and I can't wait till the next one! Everyone was so sweet, it's gorgeous country out there, and the food was spectacular! The pepperoni rolls... oh the pepperoni rolls! We still have some in our freezer...
Well, its Halloween night, and the snow has begun! (Yes, here in Ithaca, it almost always snows by Halloween...) We had a lovely weekend. We had friends coming over all day yesterday for a BBQ. After grilling burgers, corn, steak, asparagus, and sausage with peppers & onions, we decorated some pumpkins that came fresh off the farm in T-burg. One got carved, one got etched, and two just got Ye Olde Sharpie treatment. We also baked a blue apple pie and roasted pumpkin seeds!
