Paul Newman- we'll miss you!

A Tribute to Paul Newman






Paul Newman died today at age 84. The first movie I ever saw him in was Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I fell in love. He was a very talented actor and shall be greatly missed. (And who can resist those eyes?)

I Love Fall

I love this time of year. I look forward to it all year long. The first day of autumn was this week and I went all out on my decorations. My dining room looks like the Real Deals showroom. (If you've never been to a Real Deals, I feel bad for you). I made my dad cut down stalks of corn and send them home with Jake so I could tie them to the front porch.
The weather has been perfect fall weather. The sky has been blue and cloudless but the temperature is cool: light sweater weather and jeans. Too cold for shorts, but too warm for a sweatshirt. Beautiful. The branches on the apple tree are bowing all the way to the ground, a waterfall of red apples. The leaves on the trees are going to start turning colors soon, my candy bowl is full (for the second time this month) of Halloween candy, and the students (and I) are settling in to a routine at school.
Life is good. It's fall.
