Well I messed up that last post! I hit the "Publish Post" before I was ready (oops)! I hope anyone reading it "gets it" : )

On Saturday, we had a large crew of men here pouring concrete for our new porches. Look what a beautiful day it was...not a cloud in that lovely blue sky!







This picture was made on Monday. It started raining on Sunday and it hasn't stopped yet. The plan was to pour the front walks and the driveway on Monday...that hasn't happened and probably won't for several more days since rain is predicted to last here through Thursday.


But just look at the difference!


This is how the back of the house looked when we returned home after Hurricane Ike.

I had a really fun Halloween as the Cat in the Hat. Most of the children loved the costume but there were a few little ones who wouldn't come near me...not even for the candy (I do look pretty sinister, huh?)! The kids and grandkids came over and Becky was in town. We watched Young Frankenstein after the little ones had left and we laughed hard and out loud (great idea, Becky). It had been too long since I'd seen that movie.

The Texans are about to play the Minnesota Vikings. Joe, Trey, Donna and I went to the game last Sunday where the Texans romped all over the Bengals (of Cincinnati)...and we met and got an autograph from Bum Phillips (head coach of the Oilers back in the "Love Ya Blue" days)! It was the first time Joe and I had ever been to Reliant Stadium. We sat way up in the "nose bleed" section and even those seats were good! I'm going to watch the game now.

It's later, the game is over and the Texans lost : ( Oh well, maybe next week...
