Fall is definitely here!  It rained two days this week, very unusual for New Mexico.  Yesterday I had a couple of seasonal firsts!  Got up to go for a walk.  It was maybe 50 degrees.
Firsts:    Put on my favorite old sweats (Manny tried to throw them away, he says they are ugly) and sweatshirt
              Went for a wonderful walk in brisk, fall weather.  Just cold enough to make me walk a little faster to get warmed up!
              Went to see Dorothy for the first time since she has been sick.  We had a wonderful visit.

And then there is Thirsty Thursday.  We try to get together, several of us, on Thursdays for drinks and socializing at my house. Well, this was a typical Thursday.  Martha came by early for a birthday drink, She didn't stay long.  Then the gang came.  We had a wonderful dinner and wonderful conversation.  We always do.   What a great support group I have.  They are truly family and we do whatever we can to help each other.

If, for some horrible reason, we miss TT, the kids are more upset than any of us.  Manny was mad because Robin could not make it Thursday night.  Ok, not mad, but said something about it.  How could she miss our time? !?

Sometimes Thursdays are what gets me through the week!

Our little Wendy is 100%  She is fighting with Shooter and raising cain in general, but so adorable.  John fell in love with her.  She is a treasure.  And Shooter likes her too, sometimes.

Today is another continuation of Fall.  We are going out to Ken and Rose's to help roast chili.  I can't wait to smell it!  And have a freshly roasted chili with some cream  cheese and a warm tortilla, a little garlic salt.  UM..... Delicious!

Looks like it is going to be a beautiful weekend:)
