Wonderful Days for Walking, Fer Sure

We have been blessed with the most perfect Fall weather. It has been such a treat to get out and walk this past week. The leaves are changing into their most remarkable shades of oranges, yellows and reds. Whether walking through a narrow corridor of Fall colors or taking in a vista of treetops ablaze in an array of Autumn shades, it is, indeed, awesome. It is actually too nice to stay inside if you don't have to, so I won't. This posting, in fact, will be short.

I did have the opportunity to share my knowledge of social networking to my Homemaker's Club last week. After receiving a lesson the week before from a wonderfully knowledgeable young woman about how much information and technology is out there available to us, it was my turn to then tell our group of about thirty how we can use the computer to reach out to friends, family and others. Because I am still such a newbie at all of this I told them it would, in essence, be the blind leading the blind. Having my computer screen technologically enlarged above us, I showed them an example of e-mail, facebook and instant messaging. Christina was even so gracious, from work, to respond and show us how it all works. I don't know if any of those, who hadn't been exposed yet to this new trend, will decide to try the waters, so to speak. But, I hope I was able to, at least, open the door to the possibility of their becoming more willing to join the current trend of social networking.

And, after years of travel, it appears that my husband, Mark will be working from a Lexington warehouse. He started yesterday at his new location approximately 23 miles from home. This will be a new experience for us as he has been on the road, locally and throughout adjacent states for years. It will be interesting to see how well he likes being planted in one location and how much I can enjoy preparing meals night after night, week after week. Really, I am glad to have him closer to home.

UK football has a bye week this weekend. We get to enjoy not being pummeled, decimated or annihilated. As Steve Spurrier so eloquently commented that, " We could have scored eight points, but fifty was enough." I guess that pretty much sums up how we're doing in SEC play so far this year. Hopefully, the worst is behind us as we have Jacksonville State, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt ahead of us. These games, we may have a shot, if we can find some offense. As far as Georgia and Tennessee go, we'll just have to pray we don't receive another stomping.

As I mentioned, we are anxious to get out today and spend some time enjoying the Fall colors before we get some possible rain. I hope you are able to enjoy this day as well. Stay safe, luv, Susan
