Hey, All I hope that your transition from Summer to Fall Has been less stress than Mine. Is my Favorite Time of the year. It also is a bit easier on my Lupus Flares and I can go outside more. I am now a mother of a college student.  I am beyond Stressed, frustrated and a little sad. Due to My Lupus, I was Unable to make the trip to drop him off. I hugged him outside and then he was gone.

First Kid Out the Door Since Graduating. He does now have a Snapchat so I guess I should be Happy, But Now he just Needs to post on it...  I should add also, I am very Happy and Proud of the Kiddo.  (I don't know why we were standing right in front of the sun. lol) He's a LumberJack Now.
