Beautiful Morning Light

The light this morning was surreal and beautiful. The western sky was filled with strange dark heavy clouds, and the eastern sky was bright and sunny, after many days of rain. The resulting light was amazing. This photo is SOOC (straight out of camera), with no Photoshop adjustments. Sure was hard to put the camera away and go inside to work at 8:30 this morning!

Fall is Here!

It is pure bliss to finally experience temps in the 50s after a long, hot summer!!! Mom and I shopped at Watters Edge in Allen on Saturday, and Mom wished she had worn her winter gloves. What a lovely shopping area! Even has a Sample House, a shop that I could spend hours in, and a Swoozie's, Charming Charlie's, Chico's, Cheesecake Factory... Made a huge pot of taco soup, and watch the UT football game last night. Today was the Vinson family reunion, so got to catch up with everyone. Listened to the Cowboys on the radio on the way home -- it's a good thing they found a way to win this one, or Coach Wade might have been updating his resume. Anyway, it's wonderful to have autumn weather!!!

Good Intentions

I really do have good intentions to finish editing my NYC photos, and posting some more, but my allergies called me to take a short (?) nap today, so I still have more to work on. My niece Shannon and I had lunch together at Cafe Express at the Shops at Legacy today, and had fun chatting. I had the most delicious spinach & penne pasta salad with lemon olive oil dressing; I might have to attempt to make it at home. It was only in the 60s today, hallelujah; the season to make homemade soups. Off to bed...

TMS

Last Sat. at Texas Motor Speedway's "Laps for Charity" event was so much fun! Andrew, James, Maridelle and Missy drove Papa C's 1969 pace car Camaro 3 laps around TMS, Shannon and Kelley drove Shannon's Mustang, and Jeremy and Mike drove Jeremy's Mustang. Papa C built the Camaro from scratch, starting many years ago with nothing but a rusted car body (whatever that thing is called!) Everyone came over after for sandwiches and cherry cheesecake. A fun night!
