My backyard is full of leaves!  The trees along the creek bank are almost bare, already!  Boy it happened fast.  I don't mind.  I'm ready for a little bit of crisp weather.  Today was gorgeous.  It's 63 degrees outside right now, but sunny.  We ran around the backyard playing with the dogs for awhile.  Another one of the pups went to its new home this past Monday -- the really, really pretty one with all the markings that I called Jolie.  The people who got her have three acres that she can run around on, and a little boy to play with.  So now we have one male and two females to find homes for.  Andrew is, as I've said, keeping the brown one.  And Eler Beth talked her Dad into letting her keep the black male, Bruin.  Who didn't see that coming!

At work we moved to the 9901 bldg. two weeks ago.  We're on the 8th floor, and the building has 11 floors (12 if you count the basement), so I can increase my stair walking now!  So far I can only get from the 1st to the 5th without having to take the elevator the rest of the way up.  Guess I'll just add a little more every day or so.  I have increased my water intake, and I can tell that it's making a difference.  I am actually eating less.  Now I just need to increase my exercise.

I've been housecleaning today, so now it's "me" time.  I'm going to re-do my other journal "Dusty Pages Book Talk".  It's about time I did.  More later.
