Where is Autumn??

Living in Houston I miss the seasons changing with the calendar. In Tyler, as soon as fall comes the cooler weather follows and the trees begin to change and the air just smells like fall. Here it is in the 70's and 80's and humid as ever. While I love Houston, I miss autumn! It will get here in the next 2 months, just need to be patient!


So life is good! The rents' were here for over a month. Had a blast with them. We went on a fishing trip. I think Trav and my mom won with their catches: (ps- not very good with the photos- they are stacked!)







If you want a good fishing guide Jesse Zepeda from Galveston...He likes to catch the big fish-we went out by the jetties- totally different experience than what I was used to in the bay. Lots of fun, but by the end I was a tad sea sick... He guarantees that you will catch fish...and we did. :)

Oh! In August I have to tell you... I went to the Women of Faith Conference in Dallas. Talk about a fantastic weekend! Great women, great message. I felt truly changed after this weekend. WOF is coming to Houston in November (13-14): I would love to get a group together to go.
Also, Joyce Meyer is going to be in Houston 11/5-11/7 at the Lakewood Church...price is Free for the conference!

Recent fun finds:

~Website: It has boutique, gifts, decorative items. excited about it... Check it Out!
~Website: It has all the cheap places to eat in Houston....Check it Out!
~ Recent knowledge of trappist beer. Love the complexity. I would travel to Belgium for this beer. End of story.

Also...
Trav and I were in the Galleria and we stopped into Teavana, tea shop. We fell in love with their cast iron tea pots with a stainless steel basket for tea leaves that sits down in the water. They were over $100.00... whew... We found one on ebay and snatched it up! It's red with a rooster...




Happiness:



~1/2 off at all Shoe Cents, but sad they are closing operation!
~Excited about this weekend: a birthday bonanza for sister-in-law, Katie, and a wedding bonanaza for Trav's cousin Catherine. Good times are about to be had!
~Excited about Halloween coming up- I can make my cookies and popcorn balls!


Sadness:

~The news... people in Indonesia...feeling for them after the earthquake a few weeks ago.
Much more simpler:

~Missed the Houston Dog Show.... still have yet to attend in August...
~Sad that the rents are back in Dubai.... loved them being here!




Have a great week~
