Fall Fables

Need to get out the thesaurus to come up with better words or colors for a poem or ode to the arboretum. Plus a fall setting to start a book is upbeat and then we encounter the first hardship - winter. Fix a cup of tea and stir the pot or plot.

Plucky purple. Surely I can incorporate a description of this bounty into my November NaNoWriMo - that's National Novel Writing Month
and I'm using October to jot some notes and rev the engines. Last year I started writing with no clue and I'm still writing the end to the darn mess. However, for this next novel, I have a plan.

Yeah, and maybe there'll be a wedding in my book. I just attended a fall wedding and the colors, table decor, and leaf motif were splendid. I was also inspired by the tasty spice cake. Plenty of fall fables to tell, and perhaps a cake to bake.

Lame Duck or the Wedding Planner?

Guess we know what the Prez is going to be doing for the balance of his time in the White House ... now that Jenna is getting married!

President Bush, who has been the sole male in his nuclear family with the exception, perhaps, of his dog Barney, will finally have a son-in-law.

Laura Bush’s office announced today that Jenna Bush is now engaged to Henry Hager, a former aide to Mr. Bush’s political strategist, Karl Rove. Mr. Hager is the son of a prominent Virginia Republican, John H. Hager, an assistant secretary of education in Mr. Bush’s administration and the former Virginia lieutenant governor.

In a statement the first lady’s office said that Mr. Hager and Miss Bush became engaged on Wednesday.

Who knows, maybe Karl Rove will be coming back as Howard Weinstein!
