As I'm writing this post Ruby is sitting at the same table looking through her Dora the Explorer coloring book and chattering away. I'm wearing a sweatshirt. This makes me happy!!!
The pumpkins are out. The leaves are falling. The air conditioner is turned off. These are all things I love!
Ruby's little sister will be making her arrival in about 3 weeks. I'm not sure I'm ready. My sis-in-law might punch me if she heard me say that! I think she's ready to get this little child carrying thing over with. I don't blame her. I'm not sure I'd have made through the hottest summer on record expecting a baby. I almost didn't make through anyway!
So....let's all enjoy this lovely time of year!
Happy Fall Y'all!!!!!!

Sis #2 is 40!!!!
Last Saturday was d-day for sis#2. She turned 40! She is the mom of Buzz, Woody, and Snort, and basically, the kind of person we all want to be.
We've always called her "Switzerland". Meaning that she is even tempered and rarely gets fired up. That's not saying she never gets fired up, but when she does one should watch out!! She's not about drama. She's not about craziness. She's exactly the opposite of me which is probably why we've always gotten along so well.
So......sister.......Happy 40th Birthday and I love ya!!!

Elephant Ride
Yes, friends, I rode an elephant today! The circus came to town. People do crazy things when the circus is in town!
Mamaw(my mom) and I went to pick up Little Joe this morning for a short visit. He'll go back tomorrow afternoon. We though Little Joe would love the circus. However, he didn't want to go. We found out he has a clown issue! Finally with a little talking and taunting we convinced him it would be ok.
We got there plenty early to get our tickets. There was a petting zoo with some goats, llamas, a donkey, and a mini Brahma. That was the cutest Brahma I've ever seen!!
There were also elephant rides and camel rides. Little Joe said no to the ride idea at first. I said I'd ride with him. Still no. I said he could ride the camel instead. Nope! Finally, I tried some bribery. I told him that if we rode the elephant he could have another trip down the inflated slide. That did the trick!
We got in line, mounted up, and took off. Well, not really. It was slow, and there were 2 other people on there with us! But I'm telling you this, that was the funnest thing I've done in ages!!!!!!!
So.......here's what I'm thinking........the circus doesn't leave til tomorrow. I could maybe, just maybe, sneak into one of the trailers and hitch a ride to the next town. Surely they could find a job for me somewhere! I read about a business that makes paper out of elephant manure. I could make circus stationery!!
The next time you hear from me I'll be in tim-buck-too scooping elephant poo!
Probably not.
