Hurricane Ike caused LOTS of damage and heartache here in Texas; but as a result, the weather here in North Texas has been fabulous for the last three days and is expected to continue through the coming weekend. Upon arising each morning, the temperature has been cool--in the 50's! And one could not ask for clearer, bluer skies. There was a full moon on Monday night also.
Fall is my favorite time of year. I love cool crisp mornings and the warmth of the sun during cool breezes. The State Fair is soon and of course, there's Friday night high school football everywhere. Soon, weekends will be spent in jeans and flannel shirts. I am looking forward to sitting on the patio or raking leaves while burning pinon wood in the chiminea. I like to drink coffee outside in the morning before the sun comes up---the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.
Callie will be one on 10/03 and Ruth and Chad have planned a great celebration for their little "pumpkin." The holiday season is approaching and while I'm sure we will be lost the first Thanksgiving and Christmas without Clu Flu, I am looking forward to Callie's first Thanksgiving dinner that she can eat and her first awareness of Christmas--gazing at the Christmas tree and opening her presents. Brooke and Luna will be home from Oregon for about 10 days during Christmas.
There are many blessings in this family and I love them all very much.
