Round Robin – Nancy October 12, 2008

Hi everyone,
I think this is a great idea. Once I get the hang of it I’ll think it’s an even better idea! We are in Nebraska as I write this, to visit our mom’s and take a little break from the Texas heat. I am quite weary of it as we’ve had 29 days of 100 and above degree temps. The summer started early and doesn’t show any signs of getting better anytime soon. However, hurricane Gustaf just hit a few days ago and I am very delighted we don’t still live in New Orleans, and very sad for all the again displaced population.
We keep very busy with the grandkids and love every moment of it. We’ll get a good dose of them in Oct. when Kris and Dave travel to the Virgin Isle to celebrate their anniversary and will need a vacation ourselves afterwards.
John is working for EDS which was just sold to Hewlett Packard so we are waiting to hear if he’ll be retained. We think so, but you never know anymore. He travels about 80% of the time, which is’nt anything new to us, but air travel is more complicated all the time, and out of Dallas, the weather is always a factor, almost always delayed coming and going! I really feel for the road warriors out there.
I haven’t seen mom yet, but she sounds good and is still on the go if only to go to the mall to people watch! She is dreading winter, so I am trying to talk her into a visit, and she is thinking about it. We found her a nice cat after her old one died last summer and it keeps her company and has a great personality for a cat.
We’ve been watching the conventions with great excitement. What a historical election this will be. No matter what party one may “belong to” , having a black man and a woman on the ticket at the same time is quite remarkable. Talk about shaking things up! I hope Sarah Palin is really as good as she looks right now. I am very tired of the same old promises and nothing ever really getting done, and I know I’m not alone.
Pam, your horse is just beautiful. Love it.
Well, I wish you all the happiest of Autumn’s. Til next time, Nancy
