September Chronicle

• Watched our small town football game opener at the new $60 million facility.  Texans love their high school football.
• Spent labor day weekend motorcycle & antique shopping. 
• Hosted a labor day patio party that ended up being a kitchen island party because the weather was well over 100 degrees. 
• The oven door finally got fixed.
• Had an eye appointment.  My eyes got better???  Actually, the last doctor made my prescription too high.  I finally have new glasses.
• I'm not much of a t.v. watcher, but Flipping Out on Bravo started and I love the drama!
• We had a few visits from our favorite girls this month.
• Attended a market dinner at Patina Green.  It was a five course meal of locally sourced food. 
• I planted a fall garden.  I know I haven't talked about it much, but I hope to get something out of it.

• Annie started puppy obedience class and she is doing so well.
