District champs in cross country

Woodson News

I need to follow my own advice. It has been so busy. I haven’t sent a letter to anyone, or a

birthday card, or called anyone to check on the — well, maybe a few, but I should take time to

do more. Fall is beautiful the day it happens here in Texas. Don’t miss it. There will be a few

crisp nights, a few more warm days (the snakes will move those days, so watch out) and then

winter will begin. You can tell that by the shelves at the stores, which have skipped over

Halloween and Thanksgiving and have gone straight to Christmas. Don’t go straight to

Christmas. Find Fall in your lives. Don’t miss it. Breathe.

And, now, back to the news.
