Is Fall Here Yet ?

I swear here it is Sept. 21, and we are still in the 90's.  It's time for Fall weather.  After all tomorrow is the Autumn Equinox.  How I love Fall.  I do have to say I really love Fall in Kansas, where I grew up.  The tree's are so pretty and that little feel of bitter cold early morning, well, you know the snows are not far off.  My Mom always loved the four seasons in Kansas.  It does make variety but don't know that I would want the freezing temps. and to have to drive in the snow, well that would be scary on the road.  The worst we have it here in California is a lot of wind and rain.  I do live in the country so I have to deal with mud.  Yuk!  Hey maybe it would be better to have snow, at least it's clean. Ha!  Oh Well, there is no more moving for me.  Believe me I have done my share.  I have lived in 50 houses throughout my life.  That means 50 different addresses.  That is just too many.  I envy the people that were able to move into Grandma's house or are living in their Mom and Dad's house.  I just can't imagine how lovely it must feel to have all the memories right in the same place.  Talk about walls talking !  Yeah, I guess so.  Of course the ideal place is big, two to three story, full basement and of course walk up attic just full of old furniture, trunks of old clothes and boxes of old pictures.  What a find that would be and to have all your relatives close enough to call them all over for the weekend and have room for everyone.  Hey, I can dream can't I.  It's just not like that anymore.  Now we are on our phones, computers, big screens etc.  Me too.  I can't say too much because I am right there with all of you but I guess the sad thing is my Grandchildren and G.Grandchildren will never know the closeness of family.  The Aunts and Uncles, cousins, second cousins and even third cousins.  They are the one who kept up grounded.  They let you know when your fashion style was stupid.  When your mouth got out of hand.  They reminded you to just be yourself.  You are special just the way you are and never put on airs.  I do miss my Grandma Shivers.  She was one in a million.  She had rules and you went by them or you were being ugly.  Now I ask you Who in there right mind would want to act ugly. Ha.  I love you Grandma and try to live my life so you would be proud.  Tootles
