October in Texas is gorgeous!


Wow!

I've repeated that word every day since day since the first of October!
  • Wow, it's cooler!
  • Wow, lower humidity!
  • Wow, what a sky!
  • Wow, it's cooler!
  • Wow, what a torrential rain!
  • Wow, lower humidity!
  • Wow, I saw one leaf on the yard - it's autumn!
  • Wow, it's cooler!
  • Wow, it's cold!  (meaning below 60 degrees)
You get it.


October highlights:

1.)  183rd semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

2.)  Cooler weather!  Alleluia!!!





3.)  Sariah begins gymnastics classes again!




4.)  Nathan and Logan are on soccer teams again and...




5.)  Ken is coaching the boys' soccer teams again!




6.)  Happy Fall Ya'll!!








7.)  FREE organ for McKenna to practice for Sacrament meetings!  I think it weighs 600 pounds, but we moved it out of this dear elderly woman's house, down her sidewalk, into a U-Haul, up our driveway, through the door, and into the living room (after moving the piano, too)!  Miracle of miracles!!



8.)  Making plans to install a roof over our back patio, add an arbor and a fire pit

Below the three windows, picture a roof extending out over the patio and then extend the patio to include a fire pit.
Picture the canopy gone :o), and an arbor/pergola under the three large windows connected to the roof imagined above...
