Happy Girlfriend's Day
It is good to be a woman:
1. We got off the Titanic first.
2. We can scare male bosses with the mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.
3. Taxis stop for us.
4. We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.
5. No fashion faux pas we make, could ever rival the Speedo.
6. We don't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.
7. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.
8. We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear end.
9. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.
10. We have the ability to dress ourselves.
11. We can talk to the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.
12. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we are aware that we will l look like an idiot.
13. We will never regret piercing our ears.
14. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.
1 5. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren't listening anyway.

Remember to Pray
Please lift up of one of our cousin's spouses in prayer who was recently diagnosed with cancer. They have several difficult decisions and pray for them to have peace through this time.
Please lift up the communities that continue to "rebuild" after Hurricane IKE. Pray for resources and time to heal their emotional state and their longing to "just be able to go home". There are many adjustments to their family life---

"Forty Something" Friends
OH! How we love blue skies and temperatures in the 70's! We experienced a deluge of rain this week; but, the pay off of this weekend was well worth it! Time to buy pumpkins!
Date night Friday night! Jerry and I enjoyed going out with two other couples last night for a great meal, lots of stories, and laughs! We got home alittle after 11 for Collin to be sitting in the front room saying "Ya'll are late!". Hmmmmmmmm I see the role being reversed in a few short years and he's driving. HA
I received an email with this great quote this week and I just had to share.
Do something outside this weekend that makes every ounce of your soul SMILE :)
'Be who you are and say what you feel, because.....
Those that matter......don't mind, and
Those that mind......don't matter.'

To be 14....friends, screams and chainsaws!
No school today for kids...a teacher workday. So....since last night wasn't a "school night"; 5 teenagers wanted to go to the Haunted Hotel. "NOT I" said Mom. I drove the crew to the Haunted Hotel; waited for them and then they road go-carts (the event was at a sport's complex) and topped it off with a drink from Sonic. It was a great night for them...laughs, screams, stories, and fun times. What a care-free time in their lives. To top off my night when going to bed, Collin said "Mom, you're the best"! I need to remember and capsulate these times! These are good times......
Family Visits
We find ourselves blessed. Blessed that we can use our "off time" from work and visit our family. My parents returned to the lake from 5 months of RV'ing and we had lunch with them on Saturday. Always a good visit at the lake.... The weather was beautiful--needing only be about 10-15 degrees cooler to be perfect. I walked out to their boat house to see the roof damage from IKE with my dad and Collin; we had to walk on about every 3rd board. For me...that was a scarey feat. (get it....literal FEET). HA HA
We drove from the Lake to see Jerry's parents for a meal out to celebrate Marty"s birthday. A meal at Johnny Carino's is always great. Happy Birthday Marty...and many more!!!
We stayed in Baytown and attended church and saw smiling, happy faces! What a terrific church family. We received hugs and short visits with so many that we miss. Pray for the recovery of the area surrounding this church; the repair of buildings and the transition to a new schedules because of damage due to IKE.
Please pray for my friend's little boy; Kyler as he will have surgery on Nov. 4th at Texas Children's for a hernia.
Enjoy your Columbus Day....remember the song....Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492????
