The Big 70 for Shirl













This is out of order , but it was a fun birthday dinner with the Grand ones and Heidi and Mike.

Just Fun Stuff




Introducing Mr. Cooper






Thirsty Bayli

Look at the snow.


So far this has been a busy and fun month. With a few exceptions. Heidi and crew have been visited by the "Bad Piggy Flu" and that is not fun. Just hope they all recover quickly so they can enjoy the Fall Break.

I had a great weekend. The RS Super Saturday aka the RS Meeting was so much fun. The weather however, was not. Started the day with my SH trying out some new ice skating moves in the driveway. Just happy he did not permanent damage. We had a major ice storm of super fine frozen mist. The car doors where frozen shut on the Mitzi (my little red car) scrapping the window was like shaving off a coat of glass. It was interesting how fast it all came down and turned everything into frozen ice crystals and black ice . The temperature had just been in the 70's and then down to freezing.

Looks like fall is on it way out







Today is a very different day from yesterday. I actually saw a few snow sprinkles and the trees are already starting to look much thinner. Shirl mowed the lawn yesterday morning and all the leaves where gone for about 5 minutes and now there are more on the lawn. We are having a very short fall season.

October Beautiful

Phantom Canyon Colorado














Okay ! Here we are with a fab Fall time of year.


Early morning surprise. So beautiful I had to run back inside and grab my camera. This beauty stayed around for several minutes. Made me so happy to be able to witness this little miracle. What a grand start for the day.
