Katrina 1, LSU 0

I drove out of Capon Bridge at 12:30, headed west into Winchester. A short stop at my place yielded the essential items needed to survive the weekend abroad; in Woodville. I got home and went for a walk in the meadow with Steve & Karie. Dinner was homemade pesto pasta with scallops accompanied by a German Riesling. Saturday I ran Dads' showroom in Sperryville. It was a rainy day and there wasn't much else to do anyways. Took in 11,000 by 2pm; headed back home at 4:30. Dinner this time was homemade goat cheese pesto pizza with grilled shrimp, followed with a made from scratch watermellon sorbet. Marshall, Steve, and I met some friends at the Griffen around 9:30. After standing around awhile we headed back to Millwood with a few friends meeting us back there. Chad and a crew came later. I was extremely tired; not back to 100% from being sick, so I didn't have much energy to put into conversation. Sunday helped Karie get ready for her move to Reston. Went for one more Woodville walk with Steve. Steve, Mom, Karie, Katie, and I ate brunch at the Thorton River Grille and then said goodbye. Steve went to Arizona. Karie went to Reston, and I will return to Winchester. I went back to the house and took Katie on a drive down some backroads before leaving her at Millwood; the last kid left at home. As I rolled down the driveway I saw a shadow pass over the house and I knew, it was no longer summer. We'll all be back together at Christmas.
