ABSOLUTELY RAMBLING... AND TWINS!!!

Heidy-Ho, Blogging Pals!

Things here in the swampland have cooled off and have certainly been getting dark early!! :) I wish they would not mess with our time. I believe the original reason for the DST we now deal with might have been logical... but it doesn't make sense any longer. Could we just stay on Standard time from now on? Please?? Geez!!

Alright. With the cooling, a few things have been happening here. One of them is the coloring of some of the trees. While I admit Austin, TX has a limited amount of color in the fall, I will say there is more here than I expected. Neighbors on both sides have trees that have turned lovely shades... one red... one yellow.

Very nice.

I also have heard from one of those "we were in kindergarten together!" pals recently. She was the bearer of very excellent news. Her daughter gave birth to twin boys on September 11th and, while they did have to spend some time in the hospital since they were a bit early, they were both home before Thanksgiving. Now if that isn't something to be thankful for, I don't really know what is!! For those of you who attended kindergarten with me (and 12 grades past that!), the grandmother is Gail B. The photo is of her daughter, Andi, with the two bambinos... Andrew Bennett Christopher and Devan Taylor Christopher. Congratulations, Grandma Gail!!

Not too much to report on today. Thanksgiving has come and gone (although the extra poundage does not seem to have followed Thanksgiving out!) and I guess Christmas is coming up much faster than expected. Oh... speaking of Christmas... the Beauregard Community Action Association has an "Angel Tree" outside of its front door at 104 West Port Street (where North Washington seems to dead-end). Take a moment... go pull an angel or two off of that tree... and provide a child (or two) with some Christmas gifts they may not otherwise receive. It will help take the "Bah Humbug!" out of Christmas for you... really. :)

So... with all that said... until next post...
