Weekend weather was delish. Mid-50 morning temps were most welcome. Out-of-Town-Son and wife arrived before game time Friday night. Then we all cheered on the Trojans to a 51-0 victory over our county rivals. As it should be.
Saturday afternoon we watched more football while enjoying tailgate food items: chicken wings, sausage balls, guacamole, chili cheese squares, mini-homemade corn dogs, and veggies with dip. Son-in-Town and his wife brought the wings and some brownies. 2/3 of my teams won. So. It was a pretty good afternoon.
Sunday we brunched at the new Lion Hills Club. It was very nice. OOT Son and wife left after that. We settled into our Sunday-in-front of the teevee stupor. We did take a nice long walk to try to rid ourselves of the excess calories we had taken in over the weekend. Then we enjoyed the Miss America pageant. Sorry our Miss Mississippi did not win. We always pull for the home girls.
Today I drove Miss P. to school. I will get to do that all this week and maybe next. She is chatty on the ride. She really listens to the songs, too! "They said 'band'" - she told me while we listened to a favorite Tom Chapin CD. "Like Ty is in the band!" And we had a nice conversation about her cousin, Ty, playing the drums in the band. She is always thinking and connecting the dots!

News from Friday. Lauren's appointment in Birmingham on Friday confirmed an Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). We are not surprised and are ever hopeful that this will mean some very concrete methods of improving her educational experience. This feels like a big step forward. Reassessment will occur in December, hopefully, to either confirm or negate previous diagnoses. Her former diagnoses can mimic or go hand in hand with the APD.

Autumn will officially arrive in a few days. The dry weather has encourage foliage to turn loose. Our yard is nearly covered with crunchy leaves.
Yesterday Mom celebrated 93 years. She still gets on her treadmill nearly every day. She is amazing. Wish I could have been there to celebrate with her.
Marsha, Mimi, and Pete treated Mom to brunch for her birthday.
At the end of the week Super Carrot will celebrate birthday #2.
She was a juicy baby. "Ah-most two", she says when you ask her how old she is.
She is a whirling dervish, full of energy, and life.
Born on the International Day of Peace.

Dirty dishes and clothes are awaiting my hands.
Be sweet.
