The weather is cooling off and I love it. As I was leaving work tonight I commented on the fall feeling in the air and someone said they were freezing. THE TEMP WAS 65!
This weekend is my 5th anniversary. We're going to Land Between the Lakes (KY and TN) to celebrate. We rented a cute little cabin in Tennessee. Booking it has been an adventure in itself. I called last week to book it for Oct 3-5. The owner said she would email directions to me. I had to call to remind her of that since I had never received anything. Tonight when I finally got them she had me booked for the following weekend. AHHH! I called her and got it straightened out, I think. I'm hoping the actual visit goes well. |

A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator.
At a morning press conference, the Attorney General said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.
'Al-Gebra is a problem for us,' the Attorney General said. 'They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value.
They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns,' but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates
in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, “'There are 3 sides to every triangle.''
When asked to comment on the arrest, Senator Obama said, 'If God had wanted us to have better Weapons of Math Instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.' Democratic leaders told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the Senator.

We had a good visit.
The drive up Friday was pleasant wtih thegood weather. We only stop once, usually in Urbana, IL for gas and restroom break. We were enjoying the political news of the day with the choice of Sarah Palin. Now the last two months of the election might be interesting. We arrived Friday evening and went to dinner with my family at the local restaurant in Kirkland where my parents live. Good food, and cheap prices, you can't beat it.
On Saturday we had Andrea's shower. A really good turn out. Better than expected for Labor Day weekend. It was good to see Holly there with her sweet little niece. After the shower JD and I, along with Denise and Andrea went to see the Dark Knight. I was my second time, and I was really tired and having a hard time staying awake. I enjoyed it the first time, but this time couldn't wait for it to end. I have a hard time enjoying movies that run more than two hours. It's just really hard to sit still that long. ( I grew up in front of the TV. I like commerical breaks to get up and move about. Movies need commercials, at least long movies)
Sunday I worshipped in Kirkland, and then just hung out with my family.
We returned home on Monday. I started to notice I was coming down with a cold or something (typical for me in September.) I worked half the day yesterday and stayed home sick today.
Hopefully, with some rest, I'll feel like working tomorrow.
I enjoyed seeing everyone, especially my little niece Hannah. Since she lives in Kansas, I'm lucky to see her once or twice a year and she changes so much everytime I see her. She will be two on Halloween. She's quite the little chatterbox. But it's so sweet to hear her talking. She's very smart. She has a little book about the states,and has memorized some of them alphabetically. Once, when I asked her who lived in Kentucky, (hoping she would say my name), she replied "God". My husband told her that was a good answer because Kentucky is God's country. lol |
