Doesn’t it feel perfect outside?  That was the best word I could think of this morning.
Daddy always said God comes to Houston in October.

So, apparently, does Neil Diamond.
How I would love to be there.

October is a great time of year to go to the beach.
Especially right before the first cool front, like yesterday.
No crowds, big waves–I haven’t had rides like that all summer.
I got hit in the jaw by my board, though, and I’m still feeling the effects.

The cool weather agrees with Gracie, too.
We had fun outside this morning, and at nap time I wrapped her in a tiny quilt and she fell asleep in my arms.

Big date tonight, better go get dolled up.
Not that it matters–he always says I’m beautiful.
But that’s what daddies are supposed to say.

This song is in my head today…

The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely

Now the fall is here again
You can’t begin to give in
It’s all over
