Our Happenings

We have kept busy today. First, we got up by CST instead of CDST. Earl is too set in his ways to believe in Daylight Savings Time. Then we went to church and they had communion. We came home to one of Lois's fabulous lunches with minute steak covered with mushroom soup gravy and a mandarin orange jello salad and pork and beans and little tomatoes and strawberry shortcake with whipped topping. No wonder Earl can't lose weight.
We went to Alma Campos 80th birthday party at the senior center, next we went to the hospital to visit our next door neighbor. Our church had the service at the long term care center today so we attended that. Now we're at home for a supper sandwich and then we'll go to the fitness center for our exercise time.
We are having nice weather for rowcrop harvest and hope it stays that way for another 10 days. Earl mowed the lawn yesterday for what might be the last time this year.
We had about 40 trick or treaters for Halloween which we enjoyed seeing. Lane was dressed up like a doctor, with his white coat and a tie and a stethacope around his neck and he sure looked professional. Earl tried to get him to listen to his heart but Lane didn't think that was necessary.
Love to all of you.

Wish we were maybe on our last mowing, but we have lots and lots of leaves still on the trees that will have to be "vacuumed" in the next few weeks. We're supposed to be sort of windy over the next couple of days, so lots will be falling.

The leaves are stunning this year -- brilliant reds and oranges and yellows! I keep telling myself, "keep your eyes on the road!" as I'm driving around; the colors are distracting!

We're looking forward to Thanksgiving so we can come see you both.
