It is actually cold here in Texas! Today I opened the windows because it was beautiful outside and I love to let in the fresh air. I had to close the windows around noon though because I was freezing! My thermostat said it was 67 degrees inside! Yes, that is cold to me now! LOL
Tonight it may even get down to 30 and we have a freeze warning! I know it sounds insane for that to be exciting to me, but I love fall and I miss fall in WV. Here there really aren't any fall colors. There are not many trees that change colors and I don't even remember if they actually lost leaves last year or not. Our yard doesn't have trees. Most of the trees in the fields behind and across from us are cedar trees. There are some oak trees but I guess these must be the live oaks-which don't get pretty and lose their leaves. I think I get most homesick in the fall.
I made a crockpot of taco soup. It smelled so good all day. Perfect for cool weather. B ate the "soupy part" and the corn. K ate about 5 beans. E had a pb&j sandwich. Oh well. I liked it anyway.
Tomorrow I have my bible study and I am looking forward to it. We had 2 weeks off and I am anxious to be back. Last week our class did not meet because it was chaplain appreciation day. There was a luncheon and boxes were made for deployed chaplains. We also had a christian comedian and magician--he was great. He did some really good magic tricks and everything he did he used to tell about the gospel. It is very hard to explain but I thought it was an excellent way to use what he had done before he was saved to preach now. It was very cool!
I may have to go to the mall after my bible study. The kids need a few warmer things to wear. K only likes "soft pants" and only has 2 pair. And no one has anything warmer than a sweatshirt to wear. I have said it a million times but these kids grow like weeds!!!! And I should know--my yard is full of weeds again that are getting a big as the kids!!!!
Hope you all have a great day! Sorry I have nothing more to say. Thanks for listening to me ramble!

Hi Stef...it's blogger nation LOL...well the only one in the blogger nation right now it seems...sure there are more out there!...I can listen to you ramble anytime...It is cold here too...might have a snow shower tommorrow! I was wondering how the weather has been where you are. Guess that's pretty cool for TX. The taco soup sounds good. We love our crock pot too. Homemade vegetable soup is also wonderful on crispy days. PB & J is great with homemade vegetable stew too!YUM..and Chilli! If I were there I would have at least been brave enough to give your taco soup a whirl. LOL...I took a few fall pictures around the house...the leaves didn't get quite as pretty this year. Usually up in Northern WV the leaves are brighter. Guess we didn't get enough rain. I hate when the leaves fall off of the trees...and they look bare. Anyway not much we can do about it. Anyway...Christian Comdedians are funny...some of them...I've heard of Shonda Pierce...she's funny. I think wit does come from Jesus since He is joy...why not have a Christian comedian who can make people laugh...when the world has all the dirty jokes to offer. Well anyway...I'll talk to you the next time you ramble. Ramble on...I don't mind! Nite'
A.K.
