Happy Autumn! 9-24

Ten days since I last checked in…I don’t know where the time is flying to!

Happy Autumn! It is my favorite time of the year, I love the feel in the air the most and the slant of the sun and of course the colors, but it is too early for those yet. Our sun sinks behind our horizon at 6:30 now.

We had a great visit with Lori. We went to Minden one day to Mike and Pats place; Don and Linda drug themselves out of the casinos to have dinner with us too and visit! It was good to see everyone, just sorry that Pat was feeling so poorly…her treatments for her back the day before were causing her a lot of pain.

The day after that Lori and I did some shopping and I gave her a massage and then she baked us some of her wonderful chocolate chip cookies. She left the next day for Cousin Mike’s…he took her to her very first ever hockey game and she had a blast and is now a fan! The next day was her high school reunion, which she said she enjoyed a lot and then on Sunday she was able to see Aunt Gretchen, Uncle Dan, Darcy and Debbie and Deb’s husband Eric….it was the first time in over 20 years that she has seen any of them…so that was nice. She has the itch and I suspect that in the next few years she might be back “home”.

Larry and I have been busy with projects. Today I finished painting these cylinders that were left here by our tenant. They are concrete, about a foot tall and really heavy….I was going to mosaic them but decided to just spray paint them and put inspiring words on them. I used oiled bronze for the base which looks black and then hand lettered the words on with acrylic paint and then Larry clear coated them for me. There are five of them and we have 5 juniper trees so we placed one in front of each tree…it looks cool.

The weather has been great still, the nights got a bit cool for a few days, but it is still getting in to the low 90’s most days and bright blue cloudless sunny skies…tee hee….that was for Lori…she is back in gray, gloomy Ohio!
