HI

-

Just wanted to say hi so you wouldn't think I was gone forever and quit checking! Nothing exciting happening around here. I've started to pull out long sleeves and light sweaters! It's been in the 30s the past couple mornings when we woke up. The temperature about doubles during the day, but it's still a bit cool for my poor skinny, cold natured self! It's nice though. It's always exciting when you can smell Fall and you start seeing colored leaves and pumpkins everywhere! Makes me want to learn how to make an apple pie - I think I have a recipe. . . But, for now I have my favorite old sweatshirt, cappuccino, homemade toast, and Mama's apple butter to keep me warm. What more could I ask for?

Boo, hoo, hoo - I'm crying here now. I miss fall the most of all!! A couple of mornings lately, when we have woke up there has been almost an autumn sun out to where when you look out the window you believe it could be just a little chilly out, then you walk outide and nope - it's 88 out. I can handle the warmness for the Christmas season almost better than no fall at all!

Yep, Beck beat me to the punch, no long sleeves here, no siree! :-) I was just thinking how nice a couple of hours on the beach might be, if only it weren' so hot and sticky!

Is my "country disliking" sister being converted? ;) I LOVE Brad Paisley's music and have all 4 of his CD's (plus a Christmas CD) so I know most of his singles before they are even released to radio. Aren't those great songs? (the 2 you have on your playlist)

Well, I've discovered that there is more that "hick country"! I still have a hard time with that, but Josh Turner and Brad Paisley haven't been around that long.

It's typically called country western or bluegrass and I totally agree with you on your opinion of it. Some of the older country singers today gripe about "getting away from country roots" but it is much more "listenable". I like some of the very southern, countryish songs to but not with a twang. :)

I have to agree, I love fall weather!

Random Thought

OK, I got this magazine in the mail a couple days ago, but just took the time to actually see what it was last night. They advertise "making luxury affordable" - which of course means that they still charge you outrageous prices, they just let you pay it in smaller installments. This, to me, is more trouble than it's worth anyway even if you don't think about the fact that they (like everyone else in America) are encouraging you to spend more money than you have. The thing that really caught my attention, however, was not the flat screen TVs and computers and living room furniture and mattresses and jewelry. . . Like I said, I looked at this thing last night. It wasn't until I picked it up to throw it away a few minutes ago though, that I realized some of the things I had seen listed! Would you believe they have purses and sunglasses for sale on payment plans?!? This to me is just wrong! I've thought this whole craze was nuts before, but the idea of making a $...

Anniversary Dinner

It's kind of hard to really celebrate a special occasion when it takes place early in the week. Jon worked today, and I did homework all day, but we DID manage to get out for a nice dinner this evening. After thinking all day and trying to come up with someplace good and unusual, yet not TOO expensive, Jon and I finally decided on Mama Lucia's in Potsdam. Jon had been before, but it was my first time. Just think Olive Garden. . . The atmosphere was amazing and the food was great!! It's an old train station which is absolutely beautiful inside and it has a nice patio area outside (which is where we ate and just barely missed a HUGE thunder storm). Here are just a few pictures. I brought my camera and then left it in the car. I realized before we walked away from the car, but was just going to forget it because I get tired or fussing with Jon to let us get pictures. HE surprisingly enough asked if I was going to bring my camera in and didn't argue at all about getting pic...
