Feels like summer is ending

Sorta strange around here. With the rains still coming and school already started it feels like falls. This morning it is cool and wet. I wondered if the heater was going to have to come on for the night time. Guess I need to get someone over to look at the furnaces in case some cold spells hit us early.

Well Elizabeth seems to have a bit of a cold. She has a runny nose and is a bit cranky. Clings to Mom a great bit. Gwen may have it now too.

Elizabeth has been fun to watch lately. She is starting to assert herself a bit. The other day the cat was in the window and got his claw stuck in the screen. I looked at him and said to stop it then went back to reading a book paying him no mind. In a minute I notice Elizabeth standing there as close to him as she could get and scolding him, "NooooTankU" over and over waving her arm at him. Sorta like saying bad kitty...stop it.

On another note the men in house are back up to equal numbers with the women. Emily and Elizabeth brought home a new beta fish name Rescue. They got him at WalMart where it seems many of the fish there were dead so they rescued him thus the name Rescue. We do not know if he has much life left in him but at least he might have nicer remaining days at our house. Rescue is sorta orangish with some albino looking features. So far so good.

Emily has started school off pretty good with doing well on her first spelling test. And made a 100% on her pre-test too. Looks like she may start off where she left second grade.

It looks like we will get a new carbarn door in a few weeks. We had the Overhead Door person here yesterday and have one on order. Yea. No more opening the heavy wood door with hail broke windows. :) And maybe a clean out the carbarn so a car can get into it for the up coming winter.

Let's see Tim Davenport went back to Tech last week for the start of his last year. He will be switching from Engineering-Physics to Computer Science as his major. Nate Limback started school here last week at UNM-LA and is on track to finish Dec 2007. He has had to change his schedule at least twice due to classes not making.

I am looking forward to the football season. I think the Cowboys and the Red Raiders will have very good years. I think Dallas' weaknesses are the offense line and QB. Of course again several Big 12 schools are picked over Tech like they are every year and Tech does better than picked. At least the last three or four years have been like. No respect. We will see how it goes.


Well I am fixin to turn on the audio over the internet and listen to the All-Blacks play South Africa in SA. Luckily it is in SA so the time change puts it on at a decent hour here. :)
