Fall is my favorite time of year, the kids are in school so I have a bit of free time during the day to keep caught up. The weather is wonderful with warm days and cool nights perfect for sleeping with the window open, and most of all it is the time of year that the leaves turn, the only downfall is that the leaves also fall into my yard and have to be raked up and hauled off. Other than that this is the best season by far. I can wait for the real cold weather I like it like it is now highs in the 60′s and the lows in the 40′s with fall getting the least amount of rain of all the seasons it is a perfect fit.
For the first time in a long time the price of gasoline has dropped below $3.00 a gallon and today I heard on the news that the price of a barrel of oil was down to $78 a barrel, if so that means the price of gas should go down a lot more than it has already. I can not wait for the price to go back to where it should be, I am tired of paying the high prices that the Arab Oil Hijackers have demanded for a long time. We need to drill for our own oil and tell them to go to hell, if we do not have enough then cut back. We need to do a lot more stuff the old fashioned way no matter who it pisses off.
This is a huge weekend at our house the Red River Shootout is Saturday, being from Oklahoma this is a huge football game at our house all activity stops and everyone gathers around the TV and watches, we can only hope that we will be watching an Oklahoma victory this year. We have had a rough time beating Texas the last few years and going into this huge game as the #1 team in the country might be a burden that the boys can not hold up to. Let us hope for a big victory for the team from Oklahoma today.
A very close friend of mine has a daughter that is about to have a baby and we mothers got together and threw her a baby shower. She got some really nice stuff for her baby which is due next week. She is going to have a baby girl and has decided to name her Savannah, that is a very old fashioned named for these times but I really like it. I hope if she has another child she does not name it Dallas or Tulsa.
