The temperature has definitely dropped - it was so nice when I went out yesterday morning and now it is quite brisk.
I was goofing off waiting for Walter to get up this morning and I came across the Microsoft version of Google Earth. I put in our address and got back this great birds eye view of the apartments. It picture is probably a couple of years old but really great.
Walter finagled me into making him some peanut butter candy this morning. Since I don't do it too often it is a particularly special treat.
Walter wanted to go out this afternoon to do some shopping Wal-Mart. On the way out we pass a whole lot of destruction:
Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed."
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for sup per the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning. She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.
She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair.
She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse.
Mom then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails.
Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said.
She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.
She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TV's, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the o ne up still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized th e accomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no on e in particular. "I'm going to bed."
And he did...without another thought.
Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...?
CAUSE WE ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL..... (and we can't die sooner, we still have things to do!!!!)

Walter wanted to go out this afternoon to do some shopping Wal-Mart. On the way out we pass a whole lot of destruction:
- Two trees had been blown down at the end of the road coming out of the apartments.
- At the traffic signal a few blocks away, on of the signals had been broken lose and appeared to be ready to fall onto the road.
- There was a fire truck sitting at the front entrance to Chesterfield Mall.
- Then there was a fire truck that was headed down Courthouse Road in the direction of Hull Street.
- Plus three different intersections where the signal lights were out.
- A fire truck in front of Haverty's.
- A fire truck pull into Famous Daves where there was a number of fires in the mulch in front of the restaraunt. There were at least three employees chasing the fire around with fire extinguishers as well.
- At the intersection of Midlothian Turnpike & Turner we saw at least three near miss accidents.
- A final firetruck was heading off toward Chippenham as we prepared to turn back into the apartment complex.
- Oh, yes the traffic lights were still out.
