Some of the Grand-kids on the monkey bars.

Diane, gifts don't cost money.  :-)   Can you believe tomorrow is Nov. 8th, already.  Get ready for Christmas now so you can enjoy Dec.   It comes so, so, fast.  
I looked out the window and what did I see but a field of orange, gold and brown leaves covering all the lawns, up and down our street.  Our yards had been painted by, no other than, the "Paint Fairy", in the night.  After the rain last night, most of the leaves had fallen straight down and with no wind they stayed right there.  It was an amazing sight.  Now we need the "Rake Fairy" to come and clean up for us.  I forgot to take a picture, so hope it will be the same tomorrow and I will put the picture on my blog. 
We had dinner over at Janene and Kevin's this eve.  They are really spoiling us with these wonderful meals.  Their kids have no idea, how nice it is, that they have a good dinner every night of the week.  It just isn't as common, of a practice, as it used to be.  We went over to the school play ground and took pictures of the 4 Law kids and also the 2 Killinger kids, on the monkey bars.  We did this a couple of times before, so, it is fun to see the difference, in how they look, and their different posses.




THE IMPORTANCE OF WALKING
We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.




THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I believe....
That you can do something in an instant, that will give you heartache for life.

 Diane, I must not be old then, because I have no problem sleeping in and tonight we get an extra hour.  I like that!!  Lunch today, with our classmates, and their mates was absolutely wonderful and what a great turn out.  We are so blessed to have each other.  Just one big happy family of 1962, who would of thought....not me.  After the luncheon, Bill brought me home and he went back to the "Clover Island Inn", to a mtg., where a few classmates are planning our 50th class reunion, in the summer of 2012.  Wow, 50th, how can that be, it just seems like a few short years ago we were all in High School.  Time "do" fly, very, fast. 
This eve. we went to a concert, in Richland, consisting of all the seven High Schools, from around here.  Kareen and Eric, and a few others we know, are in the choir from Kennewick.  My buttons were just a bustin.  We stopped at Winco on the way home, and now we are home, pj's on, and all is well.  If you didn't set your clocks back, last night, and you are reading this on Sunday, you are probably late for something.
Have a great Sunday


THE IMPORTANCE OF WALKING
I know I got a lot of exercise, the last few years,.....just getting over the hill.


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I believe....That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.  Same goes for -  True Love.

Wow, Diane, you have been put through quite a scare.  It is much easier to be the patient than the onlooker.  We will try and think positive here, that Larry will be well in a short time.  He has to, he has a party to attend. 
Had a good time today with Janene and Emilie.  Emilie had early release today so she got to tag along.  She wasn't very happy at first but once she saw the inside of the track bldg. she perked right up and had a great time seeing the beautiful things people make.  Amazingly, we only bought a couple of things but that is usually the case with us, we just have fun walking around and looking at all the pretties that we can't afford.  We then went to the Mall, mainly to "Bath and Body Works". (I love that place)   I had a few coupons and had to use them, to save a lot of money.  I love coupons!!  :-)  We left at 12:00 and came home at 6:00.  We literally shopped until we nearly dropped.  It was a very good day!!!


THE IMPORTANCE OF WALKING
If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I Believe....
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once n a while and you must forgive them for that.

Diane, I love to google.  I don't know what we did without it, guess we used the dictionary and Library more.   Today was another beautiful day but I see dark clouds up ahead.  I still have yellow mums blooming, very pretty.  P.T. today was very good.  While she is working, on my shoulder, I almost fall asleep.  Extremely relaxing.  My dog Sandy is sleeping on my foot, very cute.  Tomorrow Janene and I are going to the 15th annual Custer's art and craft show, in Pasco, at the TRAC building.  It's very festive and smells so good.  I can go all day now without a nap, I'm feeling good and my hair is growing back....Life is Good.  I bought another Penguin at Costco, the other day.  I must have at least 50 now.  They are so cute, I really would like to have one, as a pet, but Bill says it wouldn't be a very good idea....I just don't understand  :-)


THE IMPORTANCE OF WALKING
The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, "Well, she sure looks good, doesn't she."


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I believe....That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue, It doesn't mean they do love each other.

Diane, I certainly hope all is well with Larry.  Did you have a good time, at the mall, with Joe?  He must be a lot of fun.  We will see you Sat., seems like a long time.  Bill and I were talking about what the abbreviations of A.M. and P.M. meant.  He went on line and discovered that A.M   is Ante (Latin)(stands for before) Meri (stands for mid) diem (stands for day) or (before noon) "Ante Meridiem".  P.M. stands for "Post Meridiem" or (after noon).   Just a little tidbit.  Of course all of you probably know this info., but just in case you didn't, now you do.  We had a free day today, no appointments.  I like that, but tomorrow I see Kara, P.T.,  which is good.  Bill took a truck load of "stuff" to Goodwill.  I know we will be able to fill the truck again.  Nicole spent the day with us, picked up Emilie after school, picked up Eric, took him to the Dentist, bought them all a yogurt at Costco, took them all home and then we came home.  "That's all folks".


THE IMPORTANCE OF WALKING
Every time I hear the dirty word "exercise", I wash my mouth out with "Chocolate".


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Boogie through life!  Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Diane, that sounds weird to have a stress test before his surgery but then again it is more money in their pockets.  My P.T. appointment went very well today, even to the point that I fell asleep for a little while. We ran several errands today, even bought a few Christmas presents.  It isn't that far off and I like to think ahead.  This eve. I went to Janene's ward because their Relief Society put on a fun project.  Everyone is to bring a homemade item and put it on the table to be auctioned off.  As we walk in we are given an envelope of fun money. That is what we auction with.  Their is a real auctioneer, that does a very good job and makes it real fun.  There is also a nice meal to enjoy.  I got a couple of real nice things.
Take Care!


THE IMPORTANCE OF WALKING
I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks.  Haven't lost a pound.  Apparently you have to go there.


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Men are from Earth.
Women are from Earth.
Deal with it....

Early Christmas present from Kristene.  She just couldn't wait and I'm having so much fun with it - I can mix and match the watch color and the bands, even use half of one band and half of another.  For the football games I use half black and half orange on a black watch.  Fun! Fun! Fun!

I'm trying to go to bed earlier now.  I feel better in the morning.  The blood draw went well however, I  didn't get all of the results today so I have to call tomorrow.  I am so happy tomorrow is Nov. 2nd and the campaigning and back biting will, pretty much, be over.  I don't even know what they are all running for since they are so busy finding fault with each other.  It's becoming dangerous.   Our Granddaughter was over today showing us how much candy she got last night.  It's a huge bag, over flowing with candy, practically enough to open a candy store.  There was even a couple of pieces she shared with me.


THE IMPORTANCE OF WALKING
I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing...


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Everything is always okay in the end, if it's not, then It's not the end.
