September really went by in a blur of so, so many {mostly} wonderful things.
Labor day evening we received two visitors -- one was incredibly welcome and truly wonderful while the other one was not so much.
Our welcome visitors were our very, very dear friends, the Deeds Family who we met when living in Guatemala. They stopped by the Black Hills as part of their summer vacation for what was supposed to be a few days of camping together. After over two years without seeing them, we were thrilled! Unfortunately, we also received over an inch of snow that same evening followed by below freezing temperatures. We changed gears from camping and instead had a great time hanging out at our house and doing some local hikes. The snow & freeze killed most of our garden and flowers, but we had a most memorable "summer" visit together.

| Morning of September 8 -- not too much snow & it looks pretty, SO glad not to be camping in this though! |

SUPER happy to get to be around our table with this family! (Jason's out of view, but on my left!)

In typical fashion for us, we forgot that if there is a little snow in town, there will be a lot more out of town! Oops! Snowy, but we had a great time playing at Rock Mazes.

We had so much fun just being all together in our home, chatting, doing puzzles, eating & reading
