First Frost and This Weekend

Well....it's official....Fall is here...My car was frosted over for the first time this morning. I don't know why I like this time of year so much but I do. Something about the old things going away knowing that soon it will all be reborn with fresh colors and blossoms....It reminds me of all the junk and bad stuff in my life that goes away when I ask for forgiveness, and in the right season new fresh things come.... Ain't He just good to show us Himself in nature. Guess that's why we call Him God huh??

Speaking of the first frost....I was a great Boy Scout and was well prepared for the frost. I keep my ice scraper in the door of my car and I just scrapped away. Believe it or not I have had the same ice scraper for years. About 4 years ago I bought everyone in my family one for Christmas. I always get them a silly little dollar gift so we can all have the same thing. One year I got them socks, bedroom shoes, the ice scraper, those long candle lighters.... Any ideas for this year??? After all Christmas is only 56 days away, we better get busy!!!!

Below are some pics from this past weekend.... On Friday, it was a teacher workday and all of the district teachers of the year were recognized. My guest of honor was my mom. I was so proud to be home and have her go with me!!! Below that pic is a picture of Mandie's new house and the lovely kitchen and all the green paint Me, Matt, and Mandie painted all weekend...Her furniture arrives Wednesday and hopefully Matt and I will be back home soon!!! Enjoy the pics!
