Carrying on the Brown tradition Part 2

Here's Carmen following in the footsteps of Olivia and many others before her.

Fall is here

We had our first day of fall today! I don't care what the calendar says, it has been summer here for about 5 months, so I was delighted to put yesterday's high of 90 degrees behind me and enjoy some actual fall weather. When I got home Amber had already opened all the windows to air out the house and I changed into long pants instead of shorts for the first time in ages. I'm excited to feel some cool, brisk air again and bundle up a little, and for the "holiday season" (greetings!) coming up. Good bye summer. I'm sure we'll meet again soon enough.

And this is Amber making Damon laugh.
