Greetings!

OK, Rarah has inspired me. I'm going to take a crack at this Bloggy thingy...

It is the last day of August, and it's going to be sweltering! Gustav is on his way to New Orleans to test out the rebuilt levies, and then to bring some much needed rain to Texas. It's a lazy weekend at the Williams household, after 2 weeks of dog sitting Alli (means dog in Australian) and a couple nights with Blue. Murphy and Blue only had a couple of throwdowns, but we lost a wooden CD/DVD tower in the second one. It's odd to us that they fight because Murphy is such a docile old guy and gets along with most other dogs.

Madelyn is at her dad and Rarah's this weekend, and if last night's phone call is any indication, she's having a large time! Justin had a date last night, he said she's a horse trainer. When I asked what kind of horse training, he said all kinds, but mostly she saddle breaks them! He also mentioned something about the way she fills out a pair of Wranglers - I'm not sure what that means...

I spent a couple of days this past week in the thriving metropolis of San Angelo, assisting with interviews for a couple of supervisor openings. Every time I go to San Angelo, I am flooded with memories of Mom and the places she would go and the places she worked. I took a couple of folks to dinner at Western Sky. It looks exactly the same as it did in the 70's when she worked there - I'm not sure they've even painted... I told the waitress about her - probably a waste of her time, but I enjoy getting the chance to talk about Mom.

So, there it is, my first entry into the world of blogging... Hope you enjoy!
