my handsome little man...

isn't this an awesome toddler picture?...and a great picture to celebrate summer or fall?....

this extremely adorable little man is my nephew aidan, who lives up in alaska, and who i haven't seen in over a year...

i am so thankful for digital cameras and the internet so i can at least see pictures of him now and then...

he absolutely loves to "help" his dad (my brother) with yard work, and he also loves to get rides in the wheelbarrow, as you can probably tell from this picture...

i do miss aidan & his sister and his mom & dad...i really hope they'll get to come visit either at Christmas time or next summer...

...

i really don't feel like i've got all that much to write today, and i'm actually very, very tired...

i'm going to have some supper and then get to bed, i think....

....

one good thing that happened today: i saw an amazing sunset with pink, red, and orange clouds on my way home from work...i stopped at a little pull off and watched and snapped some pictures with my digital camera, and while i was admiring it, someone else pulled over to enjoy the view...it happened to be a neighbour of mine whom i hadn't seen in a while, so we got to catch up on things a little bit...

also, i saw a friend of mine today who i haven't seen in a while -- since spring...so that was nice, too...

this has been the week for running into old friends, i think...

....

i'm glad tomorrow's friday...i really a weekend....
