It's October!

[bsmart]

Man 2006 has flown bye bye. Fall break will be here soon, and the GA/FL game is on, come October 28. Not too long before Thanksgiving and Christmas roll around. You know if it weren't for school and football, I would hate this time of year, the end of summer and the turning of the leaves is so depressing.

i love winter - snow and cold - yay !!!! i'm not ready for christmas tho. am trying to get the in-laws to do away with the gift exchange and just buy for the kids. mr audie and i would rather sit around and eat and visit instead of opening presents that you feel like you have to buy. i convinced my family to go this route years ago and it is such a relief !

Nay to the cold and winter.
My family has been doing that for years now, just buy toys for the kids. We do get each other a gift if we see something that is really appropriate, but mainly we either make or buy a funny gift for each other.
This year, Mr. mango has a huge wooden crate at his office that we will use to put the lamp leg in from a Xmas Story and he will write Fragile on it, and we will leave it in front of my BIL and sisters house on Xmas Eve.
Its a family joke. :funn:

bsmart, I totally agree with you. hate when summer ends, but I do like halloween, t'giving and christmas.
audie, we've had this discussion before...can't take the cold. i'm a wimp.
audie/mango: i have a big thing each Christmas for all the kids/grandkids/ex-stepkids called Kids Christmas. all in all there are 7 kids, some with spouses, and most with kids of their own--10 grandkids. Out of necessity, we only buy for the grandkids. This year, I'm thinking of having it somewhere else besides my house--too many people, but in the end, it will probably be here.

I can't believe it's already October. But at least I get to take a little trip this month!!:clap_1:

i had to check the date twice - wow!

time to break the bank and fill up the boat for the nice cool weather!

kings and redfish and pompano await! yummy!

and cool weather means ragtop road trip time!

half of paris, including the louve museum, arrives in hotlanta late this month and pitty pat's porch is still there (or so i hope!), oh and the huge aquarium that we haven't seen yet - and the marriott for 200/night! yippee!

and i have to get my allergy shot this month!

hooray for fall!

Fall is a beautiful time of the year but I have always feel a bit depressed too. The end of summer
