Autumn Decor

I love October. The weather is still warm during the day, but the nights start to turn cool and you can open all the windows in the house to let the fresh air come in. I love to sleep with the windows open – I feel more rested and peaceful.

Today I bought two little scarecrows from the craft shop to put out by the mailbox. I wanted to get a girl and a boy, but they only had boys. So I bought two boys and took them home and made one into a girl myself. It was easy – I added red lips, eyelashes, and bangs made from the raffia that I glued under the brim of the hat. She’s lovely!

Hurrican Ike Devastates Texas

Watching the news about how badly Hurricane Ike has damaged the Galveston and Houston areas has me so concerned for all thos poor people who are now homeless and have few, if any, of their possessions. I’m sure most of them only have what they could load into a car or truck and take with them when the officials told them they had to evacuate.

If I lived there I would have taken everything I could grab and stuff into my car with the expectation that nothing left behind will be there when I return. And that’s how it worked out for most of the people who lived there. It is a terrible thing to happen and my heart goes out to them.

Labor Day Plans

Labor Day just kind of snuck up on me this year, I mean I knew it was coming and I’ve tossed a few ideas around on what to do on this end of the summer 3 day weekend that has now offically started as I sit my butt at home, still not committing to anything of interest what so ever.

Feeling kind of in a slump or something, it has been raining a lot as of late, I know that that has a tendency to get me in a funk sometimes. But I’ve got to shake it off and get on the phone and find out who is going where and which place I will end up attending before the whole week end slips away!

The coolest Dancing Around the World Video

I ran across a blog that I really enjoyed reading and actually took the time to make a comment one, which is a rarity for me, I generally don’t stop to take the time to register and get passwords and all that in order to leave a comment on most blogs that I read, but this time I just had to.

The site is http://www.bladam.com/ and he has a video that you just have to see if you haven’t already about “Where The Hell Is Matt”. I’m embarrassed to say that I tried and failed several times to place the link to video here on my site, and finally gave up and have just provided the link to the web-site of somebody much more sophisticated with all of this technology that I am just now beginning and struggling, at times, to learn.

So if you would like to see an awesome video that will most assuredly put a smile on your face, go ahead and check it out. In the mean time I am still going to attempt to link the video directly onto here, who knows what will happen.

A rainy week-end ahead of us

It looks like it is going to be another rainy week-end for us, this will make three in a row and I am really bummed out about it because all of my week-end plans have been planned it seems for outside activities lately. This is the middle of summer and there are so many festivities that are being cancelled that this town is becoming rather cranky about it all.

Instead I guess I’ll catch up on some reading and most likely buckle down and take care of some book and paper work that has been left on the back burner for too long. I am really hoping that next week-end we will have a nice sunny day for some fun in the sun! If not I may have to leave town or something just to get some nice weather some how, some where and maybe with some body, who knows stranger things have been known to happen!
