Busy weekend

Wow, the weekend flew by.  It was cool both days.  In the low 60′s.  Friday after work my co-workers had a little going away party for me and another employee who is leaving this Friday.  I will take off next Monday and Tuesday and then start my new job on Wednesday.  I drove my husband over to the campus on Sunday during half-time of the Packer game.  I showed him the building where I will be working and also the location of the new building the school is building for my department.  It will be finished in Fall 2010.  It is such a beautiful campus.  I am looking forward to my new job.  A little apprehensive … but I guess that’s to be expected.

The Packers lost to the Vikings in the last couple of minutes of the game.  They could have won with a field goal, but the kicker missed.  It must be hard to be a place kicker, especially when the fate of the game rests on your shoulders … if you make it, you are a hero … if you miss, you get the blame.

Boy, Fall has arrived.  Our yard … both front and back … have many, many leaves.  I picked up the leaves in our front yard and driveway last weekend, but you could not tell by looking out our front window last night.  There are twice as many leaves now as there were last weekend.  This will continue for many weeks.  We will have to blow and rake leaves for several weeks into December.  We live in a very wooded area and have many trees.  I love it, but boy in the Fall, not as much.
