Friday

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you all have fun on trick of trick night. It's supposed to rain here which will ruin our evening, so I'm hoping they are wrong and it won't rain. That would just ruin it for so many little kids. So I hope it doesn't rain. We always have a fun evening on Halloween and I hope you do to. Hugs.

Saturday

Well it's been raining again here but it's supposed to be clearing up. I hope so. I am so sick of rain. We're due for some nice fall weather. I sure hope it's nice for Halloween for the kids and for us grownup's that have fun sitting around the fire in the neighbor's driveway with our candy all lined up for the trick or tr-eaters. It's always a fun evening. Not much has been going on this past week. We had dinner with our friends as usual on Tuesday and on Wednesday I went and saw my ladies at the nursing homes. It had been awhile, so I was past due to see them. I try to go at least once a month or more. My daughter's middle boy (Tyler) is trying out for the basketball team and it's the first time he's ever had to try out for something and he's a nervous wreck. I sure hope he makes it. He should find out on Monday. I guess as you get a bit older they try out, you just don't get put on teams, like before, so he's really nervous. I told him just do the best you can and if it's meant to be, you'll make it. He's not real into sports, so we were surprised when he decided to try out in the first place, so we'll see. This weekend we are going to a 50th wedding celebration for our daughters in-laws. That should be nice. They are great folks and we gotten close to them since we've moved here, so that should be nice.



Terry has started working on the basement again. He's got his side and the bathroom finished so he's working on finishing the family room side which is the side you see when you first come down the steps. He's got all the drywall up on the walls and he's working on finishing them. He can't put the drywall up on the ceiling because of his neck, back, and shoulder so he's going to have to get someone to help with the ceiling. Well that's about all the news I have. Have nice weekend all. Hugs.

Friday

Well all it's done here in the past day is rain and it's still rainy and they say we're going to get more. Great night for a football game. We're trying to get rid of our tickets. I really don't feel like going and sitting in the cold rain or damp weather, so our son Michael is trying to see if he can sell our tickets. I hope he can. Then we might go to our old neighbors for a birthday party on his Mom. That would be much warmer and much more fun anyway. But tomorrow morning we're going to two of our grandson's flag football game. They play early in the morning so we usually miss it but we told they we'd come tomorrow, so I hope it's still not raining. Tomorrow night my dearest and oldest friend and her hubby are coming over for dinner. This is Laverne who was my next door neighbor growing up. She just retired too, so I'm hoping that now maybe she and I can may start doing some things during the day together once in awhile. Anyway I'm sure the evening will be a nice evening and then Sunday we have nothing planned. Probably watch football and relax. Sounds good to me. Have a nice weekend all. Hugs.

Wednesday Evening

Seems like it's been very busy lately. One day last week I went shopping at a new outlet mall with my very old friend that I grew up with since I was five years old. She was my next door neighbor and we've stayed friends ever since and she just retired so now we can start doing things during the day. She and her hubby are coming over this weekend for dinner also. Last Friday we went over to Ohio to our grand kids grade school over there for grandparents day. They first had Mass and then we went to each of the grand kids class rooms and meet their teachers and saw some of their school work. It was very nice. That night we went to the Elder football game. That was a very disappointing evening and a very cold evening. They lost to a team that they never should have lost to They just couldn't get it going when they needed to and they lost. Then Saturday we had the wedding of our neighbor from our old neighborhood that Patti grew up with and Patti was in the wedding. In fact all the girls in the wedding were girls that Patti grew up with. The girl that got married had never been married before and all the girls have stayed friends and it was really a fun wedding to go to and see all the girls and their parents too and talk and laugh about the good old days and all the things the girls use to get into and all. All the girls looked beautiful and so did the bride and it was a very nice wedding. Tuesday we went out to dinner with our friends and afterwards they came over our house for dessert and Terry worked on one of the fellows guns for him. Today we spent the day with Terry's old buddy that was in town from Texas. He comes in once a year and we usually spend the day with him and his wife. This is a guy that was Terry's neighbor when he grew up and they have stayed friends over the years and we see him every year when he comes home. We had a nice day with them. Tomorrow we have nothing planned. Sure sounds good to me.

Monday

Everyone is finally feeling pretty good, thank goodness. Now if we can just keep them feeling that way we'll be OK. Since Terry hasn't been feeling well we've haven't been doing much of anything. We didn't end of going to the football game on Friday night because he wasn't feeling well and he was pretty much laying around all weekend, but he's finally feeling better today. I've really kept my distance so I'm hoping I don't get anything. It's been rainy yesterday and today is sort of dreary. I see that nobody is writing much on their blogs lately, not even Lois.
Katie hasn't written since Father's Day and Diane is too busy with the new house and all and even Yo isn't writing much either. Are we all getting bored with it all or what? I know I just don't have much to talk about and when I do I feel like it's boring just telling you all that I'm doing this or that or going here or there. So I just don't write much. I still get on to see if Lois has written anything and keep in contact with her and I keep in contact mostly on Facebook more that on here. So I'll see you on there. Hugs.

Saturday

Picture above is of the Grand Tetons, one of the falls. Every place we saw was prettier than the next on the whole trip.

I thought once we got home we'd be able to rest but it's been go, go, go since we got home too. I knew we had some things planed but some things came up unexpectedly. When I called one of my friends from grade school and high school to see if she was going to be able to make our luncheon we had planned her daughter told me she had passed away. That was a shocker. We didn't even know she was having problems again. She had cancer 3 years ago and apparently it came back and she hid it and her pain and all from her friends and family right till the end and then had to be put in hospice. That was a very sad funeral to go too and very unexpected. We've had two lunch dates and two football games, a graduation party, and a 40th birthday party and it just seems like since we got home it hasn't stopped. I'm hoping next week we can slow down. It sure is starting to catch up to me and I'm wearing down. I feel like one of those wind up dolls and I'm winding down fast. Hugs.
