We’re supposed to get our first cold front tomorrow night!
Cooler weather here means low 60s at night and low 80s during the day!
Most of you probably don’t think that seems cold or even autumn-like!
I know it’s crazy, but that sounds wonderful to us since it was such a brutal Summer!
What we’ve been up to this week
We spent the entire week at home!
I’m finally feeling better after dealing with an extremely painful UTI, and I pray I never get another one!
Griffin is healing well from his periodontic surgery, even though it looks like someone hit him in the jaw!
Rich has been working his “real job” during the day and his “blogger” job at night trying to get our dining room in order before his sister and her hubby arrive tomorrow!
Here’s a peek at him working this week!
