First Signs of Fall?

Yes, that Maple is already turning out red leaves!!! I can't believe it. We may be in trouble. Last Saturday we went to the National Zoo which was really neat. We were disappointed because the Panda's never came out and the Lions and Tigers closed at 4 so we missed them. They also didn't have any penguins--so sad. But, we did get some neat pictures so we will be posting those in a bit. I heard Mom had a good birthday--she got some lovely orange roses that I'm hoping to see a picture of. She also told me that I needed to go see Mamma Mia. So I know she enjoyed that, but I'm sure she enjoyed seeing the grandbabies more--their own kids just don't count anymore I suppose. We've been pushed out. I must admit that it was a little tough calling home and knowing everyone was there and we couldn't be there to spend time with everyone. We do miss our family gatherings.

I had an interview today with a marketing group today and I have another interview tomorrow with another company. The first one went pretty well and they want me to come back to shadow someone. I expect tomorrow's interview to be somewhat similar as far as what I would be doing. I'm not sure if these two places are right for me, but I guess that's what interviews are for.

We had spaghetti for dinner and it was goooooood. We also went on a walk. The weather here is nice and cool. Daniel said early this morning that it was a bit on the cold side. We had a cold front come through last night and we will be in the low 80's this week. It's quite different from Alabama where we are used to stifling heat and shorts/t-shirt 'til November.

My bruise is almost gone. I have some more pictures for that. Oh look here's one. I think that was about Day 5--a nice crescent moon shape. 'Least I get to see the moon whenever I want. I'm just thankful I don't have something that vibrant on my knee now that I'm going to some interviews.

Michael, I just heard Tony Stewart got fined and put on probation. Oops! Friday is his last day at work before he starts at his new job. I know he is excited and I'm really happy that he's found something that is a better fit for him. Good luck with those tickets though. Jackie, I think you should totally fight the ticket that you got. It seems a bit ridiculous from how Mike described it. I would love to see some video of the Sam and Chloe if possible. I wanna see them movin' and grovin' now. Susan, thanks for the video and pictures- we like checking them out.

Be sure to check out our new pictures from our trip to the zoo! The red toad---amazing! He was huge! Probably at least two of my fists put together. That's a large toad.
