The Seasons are Changing!

We did have a nice warm weekend, but over the past week Beverly has been getting her first taste of fall weather here ... which means cooler temperatures ... and she has been a bit cold! We have told her that the temperatures so far have just been "cool" and that "cold" gets a whole lot worse! ha ha She was very relieved to see her warmer clothes show up last week in the two boxes she sent from China in August.

In the top picture, she was with us at our neighbor's home for her first "wiener roast" which included "Smores" that she is about to enjoy in the picture. For those in China who might not know what this tasty treat is ... it is graham cracker with marshmallow that has been toasted over the fire, and a bit of chocolate candy bar. She thought they were very good!


This picture is of one of our two cats, Calvin. He and Beverly are pretty good buddies and she finds him sleeping in her room on a pretty regular basis. He's a pretty hefty boy at 15 pounds and she enjoys hauling him around in her arms. Our other cat is much lighter and also a good friend to Beverly. I'll have to get a picture of them together sometime soon.

This is homecoming week so we are going to have lots of fun pictures to share as the week goes on. Each day is a special "theme" day where the high school kids dress up in come crazy way, and we have a community pep rally, parade, football game and dance to get accomplished in the next 5 days! Stay tuned for more pictures this week and the best one of all, of the lovely Miss Beverly in her beautiful homecoming dress on Saturday!
