An Autumn Saturday

Today was probably the most beautiful autumn day we'll see. The leaves seem to be at their peak and it was only in the 50s today with a beautiful bright blue sky and plenty of sunshine. The breeze was light but still brought some leaves drift down from trees and blow across where we were walking.

Russell and I went to an Arts and Crafts show in Montclair. We met Nina and her daughter there and had a lovely morning walking through, looking at things and even buying a few Christmas presents. I bought some things for Kristin and bought myself yet another bowl from a potter we see often and enjoy visiting with. Nina bought herself a hat which looked wonderful on her. Not the kind of hat I could wear but I definitely admired it on her.

We met Linda and her two kids at Jose' Tejas after the Art show. Had a nice, relaxing lunch. I like days like this. We talked and laughed and relaxed. And now Russell and I are home, waiting for 8 o'clock and the LSU-South Carolina football game.

A bit of anxiety invaded my space this evening. Nothing serious, I don't think. I'm not minding work right now even though I've had to work some make-up time recently. But I am striving not to let it overcome me. I'm basically content right now. Yesterday I talked to Hotch since I always call him on his birthday. The day before that I got back in touch with a friend from South Bend on her birthday. Talking to old friends, new friends, family, and being with Russell helps a lot.

And the beat goes on. . .
