Here's what I think about it....

Thursday, October 8, 2009

Days are getting shorter; chill winds invade the landscape; color emerges from the trees.

What the kids today call Under Armor and find 'stylin' to wear continues to be long underwear for me.

What is purchased for $49.98 for them rings up at the cash register as $12.50 for me.

Mine has no name that anyone would recognize; theirs is known world-wide.

Both keep us warm during the cooler days of autumn and the not-looking-forward-to days of winter.

Winter! I would shudder to think of it except I'm wearing...well, you know.

And that's what I think about it.

I'm homesick and I linger over the descriptions of fall... the color, the chill... we have none of that here. Its still probably in the high 80s although the nights are considerably cooler - PTL. Love you!; October 8, 2009 at 10:06 AM

Welcome

The most important thing about me that you might want to know is that I am a Christian. Unapologetically. You'll not have to wonder when you read from day to day or occasionally what world view I'm coming from.

That said I have lived in four states and now make my home in Middle America, in tornado alley...without a basement...thus my world view.

Lucky me to have traveled to eleven foreign countries and shame on me for not knowing any other language well enough to do more than say 'please' and 'thank you' in any of them.

I pig out on Junior Mints and am healthier now that my favorite soft drink has added vitamins to their formula.

The family? Two daughters, delights in every way and four grand daughters, ditto that. A near-perfect son-in-law (but only since no one can be really perfect) and a cat named Kat Karson, rescued from the animal shelter.

Oh yes, Jim, my good friend and husband. He's sort of retired but is still an attorney and thought it was very funny when he put a link on my blog to his favorite home-cooked recipes and then when I clicked on it it found it was empty. He is funny and wise, a reconciler and all-around good guy.

We spend a lot of time at soccer games, track meets and choral concerts.

I'm mostly retired also. I read, volunteer as a child advocate in the local court system, teach at the church and speak where ever people will gather to listen. My daughter and I lead a book discussion group and I play percussion in one of the church's worship bands.

I follow the Indianapolis Colts, the Cleveland Cavs, world soccer, and especially Big Ten football and Ohio State.

I try never to miss The Office and realize I've worked with or been every character on the show.
