It can't be September!!!

Ah,..but it is. Some how spending 2.5 months in the US made the summer disappear. It was an eventful two and a half months. Quentin got married to Alanna in Toronto, Conner sang and danced his heart out on Cape Cod and fell in love with a costumer, and Ken and I got to see a lot of old friends and family. It was good. I have emailed pictures to most of you, so if you still feel the need to see more,..let me know. I think Alanna said there are about 4000 of them.
So we are back in CZ and today the weather is finally warm. It turned really cold at the beginning of September and we were afraid that we may have missed Autumn too,..Today is beautiful and I am washing windows and picking up around here. Ken is downstairs with our neighbor David. Every week the two of them get together to study Czech and English,..and to drink wine. Usually by the end of their one hour session and a bottle or two of wine, Ken is speaking excellent Czech and David is speaking excellent English.
I have decided to give it one more serious attempt. So I have a private tutor, twice a week. Once classes start, I may need to cut back to once a week, but we will see. If it doesn't work this time, I am going to have to resign my self to always being a beginner.
Classes start in another week and also our private students. We have been doing some traveling in the Czech Republic and I think this weekend we will venture up to Poland.
More on that later.
For now, I thought you might like to see what we are having for dinner tonight. Fresh forest mushrooms! The apple gives you an idea of the size.
