Autumn

It is time to get the yard cleaned up for the winter snow. There are plenty of bushes to trim and weeds to pull as well as the sprinkler system to turn off and the pool to cover. It doesn’t sound very exciting but it’s therapeutic to pull everything out of the ground and put it into the compost bin.

The Halloween madness has begun as Lucas is obsessed with this holiday. We have shopped at the Dollar Store, 50% Card Shop and Target so far. The one thing he wanted was a huge plastic chain which cost $12.99 and I just couldn’t bring myself to purchase it. I suppose I will go back this week and get it for him just because if you want a plastic chain that badly you should get one when you have a doting grandmother.

Hasn’t it been nice hearing from all the members of our Earthwatch Team? I loved reading about your visit to Veronica’s school. Maybe someone would like to check the Meru photos on Hank’s Picasa site. Veronica looks about 15 or older I’d say.

My mom remembered me and I was pleased. She seems to be adjusting to all her friends and the routine where she lives. She still asks to go to her house however when I take her for a ride, it takes only about 30 minutes and then she begins asking to go back to her place. She is very healthy and feels well I think.

It is so exciting that we will get to go to Brooks Memorial Park again. Maybe you can bring Hank and visit Maryhill Museum on your way.

Bon Voyage to Nancy and Larry on their 1st Class trip to Shanghai. Do you think she’ll love it?
