Looking forward to fall break...

Hi everybody!

What a beautiful weekend! I am loving this fall weather. I got a chance to finally burn my Hurricane Irene debris, so I had a nice fire on Saturday night. My boys and I roasted some weenies and marshmallows for dinner. Today I did some more backyard cleaning by pulling weeds from my flowerbeds, and trimming my trees. My pups are all wore out tonight from getting to play outside in the cool air all day today. I think they love the weekends just as much as I do...

I made some boiled peanuts this weekend as well. A friend of my boss gave our office a huge bag of raw peanuts on Friday so we all divided them up. I put them on to boil Saturday morning and about 4 hours later we were eating deliciously salty boiled peanuts and throwing our shells in the fire. I posted on Facebook that I was eating boiled peanuts.  Boiled peanuts are something completely foreign to my Southern Illinois family members, and the replies I got indicated as much. It is a southern thang!

This week we have been talking about Twitter and Facebook and I'm willing to bet that most of us have used one or both of these sites before. I have had a Facebook account for several years, but I tend to be more of a voyeur than a frequent poster. I have also had a Twitter account for awhile, but I must admit that I NEVER tweet anything. I mostly use it to follow my local newspaper and television station for updates that come to my smartphone.
