I think fall has FINALLY come...

Well, it's an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day here today. There is no humidity in the air, and it's warm and sunny with a pretty blue sky! It's hard to believe it's October 1st, but it means we're heading into our pretty weather season! In Houston you have humid, oppressive heat for 6 months or so, and you have beautiful, cool weather (with an occasional really cold snap) for 6 months or so. There's something about the nice weather that just makes you happy. I don't know what it is, but on days like today I would rather be anywhere than inside an office!

Many of you know that dad spent two weeks in the hospital last month with a bone infection. He had surgery on his feet, and is not supposed to put any weight on his left foot, and very limited weight on his right. He came home, and is still on several antibiotics (intravenous and oral) but is really doing well.

This week his wound care Doctor told him he's healing faster than most people. He saw his surgeon today, and she said everything looks good. He still has probably another month to go before they will give him a clean bill of health, but we're grateful to the Lord that dad is doing so much better. Now our biggest problem is trying to keep him still, so he can continue to heal! He has never been someone who can sit still for any period of time, and nearly a month of laying in bed, is making him crazy! It seems that mom and I are constantly telling him no you can't do this, or no we'll get it...he's since given us the nickname of General and Seargant Hitler! I'm always having to remind him it's for his own good!

I'm still trying to come up with a name for my blog. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them!

Until later,
Elizabeth
