September Just about Gone

 A few new things for the girls:

Grace was in her first (here) choir concert last Sunday. It was hosted in a very fancy hotel ballroom!  She enjoyed herself, of course, and got good reviews from those around her.  This despite having joined late and missing a number of rehearsals being away in August. There is one more concert only of this choir as the director is retiring, at Christmas.  Mom and Jasmin attended, and although they forgot to dress up, they were let in and enjoyed sitting up close to the orchestra, and picking our Grace/s voice where possible.

Jasmin's new experience was a visit to the local SPCA to exercise and socialize the dogs and cats up for adoption.  She thoroughly enjoyed it, though with using public transport and going with other volunteers made it take a whopping 5 hours for maybe 1.5 hours of dog/cat time! So, we are looking for how we can cut down on travel time in order for her to be able to add this longed for volunteer position into her schedule.

 Mom's new happening was a bit of a bike accident... nothing involving other vehicles. Just a tangle with a sidewalk fence while trying to squeeze between traffic and the edge of the road.  Thankfully, lovely (?) colored knees, a sore hand, and a bit of a limp were the only negative outcomes.

It didn't even stop the morning runs, although throbbing knees did slow her down!  But the lovely morning sunrises she gets to watch and the satisfaction of goals met kept mom getting up to run as her bruises healed.
