Born Again Floozie Alert!

Just to spread the word, Mark's high school pal, Joe Welch (formerly of Johnny Socko; sang at our wedding, remember?) and his tuba and tap dancing band, the Born Again Floozies, will be on BBC radio 5 this Thursday! Sometime between 9 - 11am EST (http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/programmes/mayo.shtml).

Not so great...

Well, we did receive an offer, but it was a lowball offer. I don't think we'll accept. It may be stupid; I don't know. Where's a Magic 8 Ball when you need one?

Keep your fingers crossed!

Someone looked at our (other) house yesterday and really liked it. I'm not holding my breath or anything, but that's good news! They are bringing a contractor back later this week. Hmmm...

Tiger Homecoming

Last Thursday was our Homecoming parade, which I think was even bigger than the Independence Day parade this year!! (That means more tractors.) Students are randomly selected to ride on a float for their school, and M3 was picked. Here she is, in full Tiger getup, next to her good buddy P. We also had the distinct honor of hosting an Oscar Meyer Weinermobile this year! Oh, it makes me hearken back to my days in Madison. By the way, M4 asked me why it was called a "Weiner"mobile. I believe his buddy A refers to his private bits by this name, so M4 was understandably confused.

We went apple picking today. Yay, Fall! I forgot the camera, though. Dang.

Fall

Today, I saw geese flying overhead for the first time since spring. The equinox was last night, so I guess it's officially fall! My favorite season: apples, squash, jeans and sweatshirts, back to school, colorful trees, Halloween...I love it so! When I mention that, I often get the comment that it just means winter is coming. Well, so what? Enjoy fall for the lovely season it is!

In the course of moving, belongings surface that haven't seen the light of day in a while, like Mark's hat collection! (I decided I could use the names of the adults in da house. I mean, you can Google Mark whenever you like. And me, too, for that matter.) It's amazing how many countries are represented. Our favorite models:

Happy Birthday, Boppa!

Another September birthday! Happy Birthday to Boppa, who has a green thumb and a big heart and who knows how to cut a rug! (He also has mad skillz with a staple gun!)

Another one!

M4 lost another tooth this morning! I didn't get a picture yet; I'll take one soon.
