Autumn and the Holiday Countdown


Spent a lovely weekend with my daughter. Well she was home - we spent quality time in front of the TV while she recovered from the Wedding of friends. But before we planted ourselves in front of the TV for a marathon of Army Wives, NCIS and Girls Next Door, we went out and had a nice breakfast, then wandered around Chester County a bit looking for some nice Fall colors.

I think we need another week and the colors will be breathtaking, but it was a good start- that's probably the one thing I like about this time of year besides the fact that it cools off.
This is the beginning of the RUSH. Once we celebrate Halloween, it's just a heartbeat away from Thanksgiving. Although you won't see signs for Thanksgiving in any store because once Halloween is over, Christmas decorations will start to fill the stores. The countdown will begin the day after Thanksgiving - Black Friday - reminding you of the number of shopping days you have left. And before you know it Christmas will be here and gone.
So - before the rush hits us - before the leaves all disappear - those of you that can - get out and enjoy the changing of the leaves because it will surely feel like a LONG LONG time before everythng turns green again.

  2. Thanksgiving is going to take on a whole NEW meaning now that you are Married. Hell - all your holidays are going to take on new meaning because you have a whole new family.
