Frost on the wind sheilds this morning. It was nice and brisk with a little wind. I love fall and the cooler temperatures. I know people love summer and "nice" weather but I hate the hot and humind days. Give me cool and dry or even a little cold anytime. Its like Mama Jo always said "You can always put on more clothes but there is only so much the law will let you take off". Beautiful blue skies and a crisp air makes my day.
Going to take a couple of days of vacation next week. Trying to burn it before I lose it at the end of the year. No real plans but just taking the time. Tried to talk Beth into going out of town but with Gman sick this week plans are on hold. He is back in school and doing fine. Just a bug of some sort. He was so pitiful but is now back to his hyper self. E wants to know when he gets to stay home and sleep in the living room. I hope he does not get sick and get to.
Still thinking and praying for all of the friends and family that have been touched with cancer this year. It just seems like there was a great deal of them. Or maybe with Facebook I just now hear about it more. The C word, as one of the surviors called it, is a real part of our lives that I just never wanted to think about. I know when I list people I will leave someone out but I am thinking about you all.
Maybe next time I will think about turning 40. Come up with a historic list of great things that have happened or something.

Beautiful fall day in eastern Ky. Blue sky nice breeze and high around 60. I love having real seasons. The trees are changing colors and the frost has helped my head. Seasons are good seasonal alergeries are not.
Gman is home from school running a fever. Beth took him to the doctors. Negative on the flu and strep so just a cold. Hopefully the fever will stay gone and he does not miss much school.
E gets to ride the bus to Boys and Girls club by hiself. I can't remember if this is the first time or not. Beth has not said anything and does not seem worried. Maybe because Gman is sick and she has not thought about it. Or it's not the first time and so she is ok with it. Man they are growing up so fast.
Been thinking of Mama Jo lately, or at least once a day still. She would be getting ready for her toy drive at church right now. She would have been getting toys all year long. Buying them at yard sells and storing them up. Start of November was when the toys would get brought out, sorted, and cleaned. She would go down her list from last year and checking on everyone. Her helpers would be called and confermined for this year. She really loved Christmas, even if Granddad could not have cared less if we had 1 present in the house.
