Happy Fall Y'all

Hello everyone,

Where has the time gone? I"m soooooooooooooooo happy that it is Fall. We actually had cooler
weather this weekend...wind and lower humidity. I LOVE IT!!!

Just a quick update as to what has been happening at the cat house. We have learned that Coco can now tell time. Dinner for the "kids" is 6:30 pm. If it gets close to 6:25 pm Coco begins to "talk" to us...LOUDLY. She is such a clever child! I think she would qualify for the gifted program at the local schools. Rajah has suddenly become very clingy. He wants a lap and he wants to cuddle. His newest trick is to get between Tom and I in the bed and sing his little heart out. Of course like all good parents we encourage this behavior and then we go back to sleep. Jumpin' Jasmine is on springs. She is so fast that it isn't funny. She flies around the house and doesn't care what gets in her way. I guess you would say she is a strong willed child.

I went to the Stampin' Up Regional Convention with my friend, Christy, on Saturday. What an awesome day!!! Everyone received a stamp set and we actually made 6 different projects. I learned so many new techinques. I have to start using chip board...the possibilites are endless!!
I also had the opportunity to use a crop-a-dile...it is way too cool. When I explained to Tom how it worked he said "order one." I guess he is a little tired of me asking him how to use the eyelet setter everytime I get the urge to use an eyelet. We were provided a box lunch at the convention. I don't eat lunch, but I did pick at the turkey and the chips. I brought my package of oatmeal raisin cookies home. Since the package had two cookies I gave one to Tom after we had dinner and I decided to eat the other one. I went into the kitchen to get something to drink and when I returned to the living room what do you think I found? Are you ready?..................

One oatmeal raisin cookie was now half of a cookie....Coco Chanel had stolen the cookie and had eatten over half of it! Cats aren't supposed to eat sweets! I know she is a pig-o-pottomus and now I am certain she has some goat mixed in. Never a dull moment around the house.

Thank you all for the prayers and kind words for my cousin. She is doing well and we are now have 5 months to go with her tour. My Mom has sent care packages and they have been well received. Thank you for the great ideas...I found a cool lip balm package at Bath & Bodyworks that I know she will enjoy.

Must run and feed the kids

Hugs,
