i went to the animal fair...

the birds and the bees...

we are off to the state fair of texas this fine october afternoon! i'm excited b/c i'm thinking avery is gonna have a blast! it's a bit hotter than would be nice but it's still a tolerable 83 degrees or so. i can already taste that corndog...

so, i don't remember this site very often but i did today and how cool to see some more friends leaving posts for me! yeehaw! i love it! maybe i've found new resolve - or whatever.

okay - quick house update. they have sheetrocked and bricked it. it looks good. i'm kinda bummed b/c the brick i chose i saw on houses with white mortar. well, to quote shawn "we are NOT spending $1000 for white mortar. mortar is mortar. it keeps the bugs out!" so my brick looks not so red but more brown b/c of the lovely but functional grey mortar. ah, compromise!

the cd release party went great. so fun! and the guys had the best time. Dave, the drummer and an ear to ear smile the entire time. the guys got a yummy taste of good times and want more. they are scheduled to do a brown bag for KLTY on the 4th of november so come on out! not sure about details yet - i'm the last to know :-0 well actually, shawn is the last to know but who's counting.

okay - huge highlight in my life coming up - NICHOLE NORDEMAN in concert. WOO HOO! Date night with some great couples. Avery is spending the night with my parents and i cannot wait to see Nichole in concert. It sounds like she is doing a scaled down deal which will be great. ah, i've never seen her in concert yet. this'll be great. and by the way, i won an autographed copy of her special edition release of Brave. too bad i already have one (sans the john hancock). maybe i can bless somebody with it.

well, my child has been too quiet for too long. must make sure she is on the up and up.

will let you know about our visit to the fair. sure hope it's not "gang night"...
