Hmmm....just thinking

This wasn't the photo I was going to post today...but it wasn't near as cute anyway!  Thought this would remind everyone that although summer is about over, along with the heat.....somethings of summer are just too sweet to let go of!  Susie really takes some great photo's!!!













Ok.....what happened to Halloween and Thanksgiving?  Christmas is taking over all the stores!!! Hello!!!! It's September!!!! On that note,  it has me thinking of making a video.  Long, long, far, far away...I would dress like an elf (well I had REALLY short hair and was pretty slim) pack up my collection of "The Night Before Christmas" books and read them at Garza Elem. where my children went to school.  Even read them at a Jr. High and for the Jr. Service League's Dios Festivos...but as I said, that was a long time ago.  So...I think I will.  That would be something my kids and grandkids can watch at Christmas....and I do have a variety of books.  Things like that get started when you have friends who own a Hallmark store and want to dress up at Christmas!!  I'm pretty sure they were the only store in the Valley that had an elf work at Christmas.  My favorites are writtne and illustrated by James Rice....the start of the whole collection was when I paid fifty cents for "A Cajun Night Before Christmas" at the flea market.  It is still my favorite.  Ok, well that's the plan.  I'll let you know how it works out.

Just a side note........it's raining.

ramble, ramble, ramble....

Sometimes you just have to learn that patience is a virtue. A "hot" truck doesn't always turn out to be the best thing for you.  Bill and I spent Labor Day trading vehicles, returning "Blue" to her owner once again and "Grey" will go to the shop.  Of course when Grey got unloaded at the mechanic....she worked fine. Hmmm....

On the way home we drove by some future wedding sites.  Of the two the kids are thinking of...this one seemed more intimate.  The Winfield Inn in Kyle, Tx. Joy of joys...Ryan and Susie are thinking of moving up the date....which excites me cause I just love the idea!  But...also means we all have to get on the ball to get things done.

On our way home from Buda/Kyle...(that's where we made the switch)  I captured this sunset!  It was rather dramatic with the pouring rain looking as if it was washing the sun away.  At one point , it was raining on both sides of the sun....isn't God grand?

In front of us was a triple rainbow.....but I could only get two bands in the photo....one very distinct and the other just to the righ was lighter and there was another band to the far left...(sorry about the dirty windshield)..Nature was surely at work on Monday evening.

And then........my favorite.  As we came into George West on Hwy 59 (?) we were treated to a brilliant yellow sunset that this photo doesn't even capture the brightness of.

All in all it was a fast trip but a good, safe one.  Got to see Amanda (however briefly) and her friend Austin, some glorious scenery and was indulged by my hubby.......we stopped at the Dairy Queen for a Blizzard. Now that you are truly bored... I will go eat lunch and watch my soap opera.....it will end on 9/17....such a shame.  It will be replaced by another game show.....wow...greed  and goofyness....(sp?) just what we need more of.  Hope you at least enjoyed the photo's....until next time...be safe!
