Fall breeze..."where are out thou?"

The Fall Breeze-   Monica feels it in Indiana or (New York) if she is back, Rebekah feels it in Dallas, Kindred in San Marcos and Bryden says it is faint in San Antonio.  I really need to feel the cool air and then I can breathe and be revived.  Hoping that it will be here in the morning when my alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m.!

That chocolate cake, wine and apples!

First Day of Fall, Harverst Moon, Jupiter!

Tonight is the night of celestial coincidences (design-my word).  The autumnal equinox- the beginning of Fall comes at 11:09 p.m. E.T. and for the first time in 19 years it comes on the same night as a full moon the one known as the "Harvest Moon." 
And for good measure, if you are blessed with clear skies tonight you will see an unusually bright Jupiter coming closer to earth than at any other time since 1963!  (paraphrase-CBSnews)
19 years ago Bryden was just a baby boy, and in 1963 his Mamma (me) was a baby girl.  I love the moon and stars! 

An official goodbye to summer 2010!

A visit from Bryden and the Trinity bunch

Francis, Bry, Leslie, Ashley, and Nick (not pictured) came by for Sunday afternoon visit.  I made that special lasagna for his birthday.  Bryden is turning 20 Tuesday.  Leaving his teens forever!

It's raining, it's pouring

It is still raining!  Our backyard now has an earth pond as well as a cement pond!

See My Face

One of my "complaints" about FACEBOOK is that a true "face" is not always shown...so here is my attempt at reality, guarded of course, because who really wants to know all the truth!  Two pretty tough days have gone by and I am hoping to feel better tomorrow.  It is quite a feat trying to teach, manage, go with the flow of a power outage in a hot classroom with a terrible sinus headache and 22 kindergarteners.  It REALLY is!  Balancing health issues of one of my own children, getting that backpack to Trinity, the normal concerns of a mother, wife, money, - the "cara" somebody made at me, etc! Of course as I rant I know that I am blessed beyond measure and I give thanks for the opportunity to aprreciate the most normal of days.  Just sayin...just saying "I love you all so much!"

Archbishop Romero's last quote

God's reign is already present on our earth in mystery. When the Lord comes, it will be brought to perfection.




That is the hope that inspires Christians.

We know that every effort to better society,

especially when injustice and sin are so ingrained,

is an effort that God blesses,

that God wants,

that God demands of us.



Archbishop Oscar Romero, March 24 1980



These were the last words of Oscar Romero, said at a hospital Mass shortly before an assassin entered via a back door and shot him.

A surprise visit from Rebekah! Down from Big "D."

Stopped by Austin and picked up "hurt" Aaron.

Back to school gifts...thanks"M"...we love you!

Calallen Football

UGGGH! We lost to GP! Boy#3 had a great reception and sparked the Cats to a touchdown. We won last week against King. He had a great first game. I have put the Radio link icon on as a gadget. I hope you all can listen live and to previous games as the season progresses. A winning season for me is a healthy player...that is my prayer for as long as the season lasts. Hoping that it is all the way until December!
