It's October!! :~)

I'm doing something right now that no southerner in their right mind would do... I have the windows open and letting the breeze in. In and of itself this isn't crazy, it's just that it's still in the 80s! :~O Well, it helps a little... The sound of cars on the road outside is very calming for me. Also I looked at the weather both in VT and in OH... It's 66 degrees in both places right now. So, in my head it's open window weather even though it feels more like summer. Ahhh... The joys of living in the state of TN! :~)

Thursday I already mentioned that we were planning on going to see a football game... The game was in Jonesboro, AR so it was a good hour drive to get there. Oh, and apparently the people that are at ASU can't tell time. The ticket said that it started at 7pm, however we got there a little before 7 and they were already in the middle of the second quarter! That wasn't so bad, cause Memphis was kicking AR butt. However, they decided that winning wasn't everything and gave the game away. They went from 31 - 13 to 31 - 34! It didn't help that there was a little referee favoritism, and that Memphis can't defend themselves real great! By the way, the outfits for the band don't flatter anyone!!! :~p Sorry the pictures are a little fuzzy, they wouldn't stand still for us! :~)

Friday was pretty good... I got my shopping done and then got to nap a little before I had to go over to clean house. I got there about 1pm... I had to go back and finish after I went to pick Jamey up at 4pm. It's not that it was dirty, it's just that there were a lot of nick knacks to dust. Not to mention that there were three bedrooms and two bathrooms. I survived and when I got done went home and ate pizza for supper... I got it at Aldi, it's quite good. I wanted to get some khaki pants after that, kinda as a reward. I like Goodwill for this... Usually there are some fancy, expensive clothes there that I would never be able to buy new. I got a pair of really nice pants that are MetroStyle. Yes, they are now my new favorite pants! :~)

Saturday we didn't have to leave until 4pm, so we got to sleep in and enjoy a quiet morning at home. Jamey woke up before I did... He saw how peaceful I looked sleeping and he didn't want to disturb me, so he made breakfast and brought it up to me! Yep, breakfast in bed! :~) I didn't eat in bed for fear of getting crumbs in the sheets... I'm the only crumb that gets to sleep in the sheets! :~) We watched some TV before we had to leave. It only took about 2 hours to get there, which is like having a weekend off! It's so pretty there... They have rolling hills in that part of TN, so we both like the landscape. The people we stayed with were very nice. They had a king size bed in the guest room... Jamey and I could lay out on that thing and not even come close to each other! :~) It was a little weird cause I felt like I was sleeping by myself.

Sunday was good. Jamey did a really good job as always. The elders and deacons ate lunch with us and after lunch the ladies went into the house and we talked while the men were talking. They are a really good bunch. After the talk we got to nap, but it wasn't nearly long enough. Thankfully, it wasn't a long ride back home... We got home at around 9pm so we stayed up a little before going to bed. It was nice to be able to stay up a little after we got home... It meant that we weren't getting to bed after 2am! :~)

Today I have to get some things done so I'll have things to pack next weekend... We are planning on leaving Thursday after Jamey gets off work. That way we can spend a day and a half with his grandma. I'm really looking forward to meeting her. I've heard a lot about her, but never met her before so I'm really excited! Something I'm also looking forward to is going to the Need To Breathe concert here in Memphis tomorrow!! :~)
