Fall

Well as I sit here tonight it finally feels like fall. I want things with Pumpkin in them, I'm already thinking about caroling and neighborhood Christmas pageants and I bet it's 65 degrees outside.. LOL sigh. If I lived in Texas I suppose I would get my fix at the Friday night lights experience.. Yes, yes I know we have that here, but there's something about the lack of pickup trucks and the way everyone says their "i's" that throws me off...what I wouldn't give for some of those concession stand Nachos.

We are girls with deep thoughts and even bigger dreams.

They're teenagers."   "What in God's name is a teenager?" shouted the King.  "Oh dear." The queen remarked turning up her chalice of wine. "What isn't a teenager?"

Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized -Margaret Atwood This quote reminded me of Grace and Nora and the conversations I overhear between them. Having three young girls, I'm realizing how hard it is sometimes to be almost ten or almost thirteen.. They are experiencing it for the first time.
