TGI Autumn!

It is the first really cool day of the year.

And, for a Monday, it's been a good one. I had an absolutely great day at work. Hubby had a physical and it seems like all of the "getting older" things he was worried about relate to acid reflux. So by 5 p.m., we were both walkin' on sunshine.

The elevated moods and cooler weather definitely spilled over into the doggie world. Gumbo and Roux were more ecstatic than usual when we walked in the door.

They've all gone to work agility in the cool air, leaving me to tend the first fire in the fireplace of the season and to cook a big pot of taco soup.

I'm happy. They're happy. We're all happy.

After the past couple of months in our hurricane-ravaged lives, happy is good. Happy is darn good.
