Fall has finally hit us here in the sub-tropics. Highs have only been in the low to mid 70s. Yesterday it was overcast, and actually pretty nippy. I was fairly productive. Reassembled Nathan's desk and dealt with the washer exploding on me twice.
Eric brought home most of his real army equipment. Times sure have changed since the last time he was in a division. Heavier and more of it.
Today it rains. I did manage to get the trashcan and most of the recyclables to the curb. It's really nice that they have curbside recycling here. And they take a heckuva lot more stuff than Ft. Sill. The down side is that they only come once a week. And they come EARLY! I barely got it all to the curb. We were overflowing with bags.
Anyway. I'm in my favorite long-sleeve shirt of Eric's, flannel pants, and a fresh pot of coffee. My only goal until Nathan comes home is to short through our boxes of books. (Tough, isn't it?) We were just going to leave them in boxes until we bought some bookshelves, but now we can't find what we need. (I had them quasi-organized at the old place. At the the books were stacked into generic categories - my fiction, Eric's war books, music textbooks, etc. The packers obviously did not appreciate my system. Hmpt!)
Maybe I'll just sit on the couch and surf the web for true and bizarre stories. For instance, msnbc is reporting that stinky farts in mice might help regulate high blood pressure. foxnews is reporting that a college student in Taiwan died after participating in a competitive eating contest. See what you're missing while working at your job? HGTV is 2nd on my agenda.
The picture is my great-great-grandparents on my dad's side. They got married on Oct. 23, 1895 in Indiana. So yesterday would have been their 113th wedding anniversary. I believe this picture was taken on their 50th. Certainly hope she was friendlier than she appears in photos. No real reason to post it, just felt like highlighting some family tree stuff.
