Fall and the Countdown

It is fall, the temps are way down, no more shorts
for the time being, 17 days until blastoff. Iowa WBB
has started and we might have lost our best rebounder
for the whole season. Vandy dove for a steal in the
exhibition game, popped out her shoulder. Three
others are also on the rehab list, hopefully they
will be ready for the Big 10 season.

The leaves on the Ash and Maple have fallen and
that was always Mom's signal of when to head to
Texas. I have packed the clothes, part of the music
necessities as well as some DVD's. I need motel
reservations, hope to drive until 5 PM every day,
making it a three day trip. Will arrive on Tuesday,
in time to hit the HEB and pick up a turkey breast
for Thurs holiday. Add some stuffing and veggie
and salad.........then sleep! First I have to vacuum
the bed and clean the bathroom and kitchen........
Should be able to get that done in two days....

Football season has been extended for the great
Ankeny Hawks. They won their first round game in
the postseason, three more games to the championship.

We were tied for first place in first flight at the
last Chili Dip at Honey Creek. Shot two strokes
better than the last outing, a 65. Won $30 both times,
cheap 18 holes of golf.

I am thinking I need to pack more today........
