Happy Hump Day!! After a warm and sunny day yesterday, today is chilly, windy and the sun keeps poking through the clouds. That's one of the things you have to love about fall..........the changing weather. I was just out for the mail and our oak tree is the most brilliant red and matches the neighbor's Bradford Pear in color. But it's been so windy the past several days that most of the other trees, and especially the maples, are now bare. Too soon for me in that we'll probably be seeing some snow long before I'm ready for it. I hate to tell you but we bought our Christmas cards last week. Now it's just a matter of getting the letter done, the labels printed and sending them out the door. -- Piggy's Pad

We were lucky to have a very quick night at pool. We were home by 10:30 (gasps of delight here) although our team as a whole didn't do very well. I was the only one to win my match, which kind of surprised me since I'd been out sick the past two weeks and hadn't picked up my cue at all. But I took my opponent down in 3 straight!! Yippee! But I was having some back problems this morning so after making some phone calls that needed to be taken care of, I went back to bed for a while. Now it's time to get the cleaning done. I hope everybody's having a decent day. (NT) -- Sandy, 11:45:06 am, Wed, 11/14/07
Oh honey...I've had my Christmas cards for a couple of months!! **grin**
Next weekend Rick will go to camp and I'll probably get them ready....I do go the "lazy way out now" though..I get them pre-printed and then I print off labels on the computer....I used to try to write little notes and self-address each envelope and self-sign them...then I went to having them printed but still writting notes and self-addressing them...now I'm down to sticking them in the envelopes, licking the back and sticking on the stamps and labels!! Guess I'm just getting lazier anymore..or maybe I just don't seem to have the time anymore to actually sit down and write them all out....plus have to admit, if I do that much writting my hands cramp up and by the time I'm done the cards are a mess!!

Speaking of "Christmas" believe-it-or-not, Rick and I will be putting our tree up tomorrow night....we have to, because next weekend he goes to camp plus we have to help my Dad with his tree....I won't start on my knick-knacks until after Thanksgiving though....
still hard to beleive that Thanksgiving is next week...I just want to know where on earth this entire year went!!!! (NT) -- Kate, 9:31:43 am, Thu, 11/15/07
I've always heard that time goes faster the older you get. And I can testify that this is indeed true. I too want to know where this entire year went. It seems like last Christmas was just a few months ago. And our very late New Year's Eve was just last week, wasn't it? (NT) -- Sandy, 7:18:32 pm, Sat, 11/17/07
Way to go on playing pool so well the other night Sandy!!!!
how is your back feeling now? (NT) -- Kate (again), 9:32:55 am, Thu, 11/15/07
Thank you, thank you. Back's still acting up but I think it's because my ankle is bothering me again and I'm favoring it. (NT) -- Sandy, 7:19:19 pm, Sat, 11/17/07
We are FINALLY getting some more rain...we've had a couple of nice rain storms the last couple of days, plus it's real over-cast so we aren't losing water to evaporation right now either...Thank heavens, and today, not that I'm "thrilled" to see snow we got some of the real wet/heavy stuff so that will also help our water situation.....
Still waiting for some of our maples in our yard to turn and drop...we are going to be shoveling leaves instead of raking them with the rate they are going this year!! (NT) -- Kate, 9:30:10 am, Thu, 11/15/07
We're very dry here. No rain at all yet this month. I'll take moisture just about any way we can get it right now but I do have a preference of no snow. We still have trees here too that haven't even changed color yet. (NT) -- Sandy, 7:20:40 pm, Sat, 11/17/07
