What a beautiful day in East Texas. Welcome October 1st! It actually feels like fall here today. After a brutal summer full of heat, heat and more heat, 80 degrees with a slight breeze feels like heaven. The fires in Texas are all under control or out. Cooler temps and a little humidity have helped but Texas is still in desperate need of rain. I am not sure how much fall color we will see this year. So many trees have died or lost their leaves already.
I am looking forward to our trip north to see and smell fall in the mountains. We will be stopping in Show Low, AZ to see Shaun's dad and Bobbi, then on to Utah to see all of the family there and then Colorado to visit my mom and Bill and many friends. We are praying for a great trip full of fall colors and family memories.
By the time we get back from our trip the mums will be in full bloom. East Texas is stunning in the fall, I can't wait. Nice cool evenings, pumpkin patch's and usually a fire in the outdoor fire pit. No fires this year since we are all still under a burn ban, but sitting outside in the evening will be so nice after being couped up in our houses this summer trying to escape the heat.
I saw this on pinterest (www.pinterest.com) and thought it would be SO cute and yummy for fall

You know what else October 1st means? 85 days until Christmas!!! Are you ready? Time to start Christmas shopping! What a great excuse to shop (tee hee)
Jeremy & Robert will be hosting both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year since our current kitchen consists of a microwave, electric skillet and counter top (think easy bake) oven. AND since we won't be in the house yet to decorate it means MORE TIME TO SHOP!! Woohoo life is good.
Enjoy your weekend
Love and miss y'all
