First ever blog posting

I've been thinking about starting a blog and this will be my first post.

Sometimes when I'm laying awake at night and my mind won't shut off (I know a lot of you know what I'm talking about) I thought maybe if I started putting some of this stuff out there it would let me fall asleep easier. We'll see.

Jerry and I have spent the summer with my mom. I promised my dad when he passed last year that we would do whatever it takes to keep her in her house as long as physically possible. Due to the size of the yard and the upkeep of the house, she really has to have someone here in the summer. Now with fall coming and the mowing slowing down I'm starting to feel homesick for Arizona and seeing my grandkids. I'm hoping to talk my mom into going to Arizona for the holidays, but since she hates to travel, not sure that will be happening. Jerry and I may go so we can spend them with our kids and grandkids and then come back so mom won't have to spend the winter by herself.

Tisha had an authors convention in St. Louis the past few days so we drove down and are spending Sunday night with her and then dropping her off at the airport tomorrow. Then we are going to see Monte and Rayleen in the Ozarks for a few days. So glad to see Tish and so glad the convention went well for her.  She sold all of the paperbacks she brought and made tons of contacts. She is happy with the result.

Enjoying the cooler weather we having and can't wait for the leaves to start turning for fall.  Getting anxious to put out the fall decorations at mom's. She always enjoys it when we get everything decorated.

I just got my Amazon Prime music account working and am enjoying all of the free music. Yes, I love Amazon and my Kindle.

Well, this is my first post, so we'll see what happens from here on out.
