Hello to Fall

Hello to Fall

 

Yes, it is Fall here in the Inland Northwest. The leaves all beautiful red, gold, yellow and brown have mostly fallen to the ground. The grounds man here at Sessions Village has been very busy leaving big black bags stuffed with leaves around the grounds. It's nice to see a man sweating on a crispy cool day. I'm completely moved into my small 2 bedroom apartment, I say small because my 3 bedroom house is standing empty and looks huge and a little lonely. I signed with a realtor and pray the house sales soon so I can live the care free life of a renter. It was easier than I thought it would be unpacking boxes and tucking things away in a corner here and a corner there. I even parted with a number of items, sold to the estate man, that a year ago I thought I couldn't live without. Yes, it is very freeing, letting go of long held possessions and now I can't imagine needing them at all. My dog Jake is getting used to apartment living too, although he has run away a few times and on 2 occasions went back to our house. Since it is only a few blocks away and he runs through a field of weeds to get there, when I finally get him home he is full of stickers and weeds. I keep telling him he doesn't live there anymore. The girl next door either calls me to come get him or puts him in the back yard and shuts the gate on him. When I sell the house I'll have to notify the new owners they will have a part time pet. I'm hoping Jake will finally learn there are no treats waiting for him there and he will stay home where he is spoiled as every good dog should be. Well friends I hope to do a little better with my blogging now that I'm settled into my life of leisure and can spend more time at the key board. I'm looking forward to the wonderful holiday season that is ahead. I hope you are too.

Happy Birthday to me.

April, is here, April showers, April flowers and my birthday. Yes I have a birthday this month. I very happy to celebrate another birthday and as many more as God decided to give me. Some of you know I wanted to go to the movie to see NOAH but so many of my friends told me to save my money that I decided not to go. I had lunch with a friend and then we went shopping. That's really what girls want to do any way. I can rent a DVD at the grocery store for $1.00 so I'm going to watch NOAH when it comes on DVD. I did watch a movie that I really enjoyed, THE BOOK THIEF, in fact I enjoyed it so much I watched it twice before taking it back to the store. It was about a young girl growing up in Germany when Hitler came to power. She loved to read but they were burning books, she and her adopted father read the books she stole in the basement of their home. I enjoyed the movie so much I decided I wanted to read the book so I ordered it from Barnes & Noble. My birthday gift to my self. Happy Birthday to me.

I've got a new note book

   I have a new note book, little bitty computer, for you that are not very knowledgeable in computers. This little thing is cute, light weight at about 2 lbs. It has a full size key board but is very touchy. I'm having a hard time getting the hang of it, the key board that is. I'm really having a hard time getting the hang of the computer part of it, but I'm determined. 
    We finally got snow here in Cheney, WA. I'm thankful for the snow because it warmed up! My dog, Jake, loves the snow. He has a thick long coat so the cold doesn't bother him much. He is a small dog so when he goes out into the snow, which is about 6 inches deep, he is up to his belly in it.  I can't believe it's February already and it seems like the month is flying by. The problem is I'm not getting anything done. It must be this crazy cold winter weather, I'd really like to hibernate.
