YES.....IT IS FALL....

We are now counting the months.....not days till we get a baby Alex...I am hopeing....but will love a baby Ashlyn......it would be fun to get twins....his mother is a twin and she has twin brothers. 

Spent the day hunting my covid shot card....where...oh where did I put it?  Being old is starting to rear it's head.....Seems we will need it to go on living......Wish me luck!

Not an exciting week....Miss Pam....and the twins...just Bree and me.  Got some wonderful news yesterday....Scotts cancer operation was a success and the tests came back negative for cancer....it has been a long haul for that sweet guy......AND he has hair again...just several weeks of taking it easy and healing......then back to real life again.  

Stopped in yesterday to see how Scott was doing.......and Richard took me up Brighten Canyon to see the fall leaves....we are so lucky to have the mountains in our back door.....and the leaves were so pretty.  I so enjoyed our ride and visit.

Keeping my fingers crossed Rob listens to his doctor and his foot heals.....and he can get back to work.

 

FIRST DAY OF FALL...

I am more at Peace tonight.....knowing Scott and Rob are getting good care at the hospitals they are in and they have family with them......

We are definitely feeling the smell and feel of Fall.....the hills are starting to turn and the temperature has dropped....turned on the fireplace this morning.  I have Bree for three weeks or so.....Pam was not sure how long she would be gone to Detroit......Scotts operation was a success Kar said .....can go home in a couple of days.  Waiting to hear what Rob's status is...Pam a little slow in up dating......

Had the urge to do some RETAIL THERAPY the last couple of days......The Mask...Oh Yes! Do have most my Christmas shopping done......

HAPPY FALL.....U ALL.

 

BIG TOE......

This happy grandpa......isn't so happy tonight!

Pam stopped by to see if I would tend Bree a couple of weeks while she goes to Detroit to tend Rob.....They cut off his big toe this morning and she needs to leave tomorrow.....It has been giving him trouble and infected for some time and with his diabetes...not healing,,,,,so the MRI showed the infection had gone into the bone..SERIOUS....so cut off his toe!  If a week passed without a crisis in our family.....WHAT WOULD WE DO?  What are we doing wrong?  God will think all I do is hunt people to pray for........we love you Robby and good luck.

 

FALL......

Fall is in the air....lawns turning brown.....flowers shedding leaves.....and tomatoes turning red.  I have been lucky enough to see the colored leaves in my own hills.....love the yellow of the quakin aspen trees.....AND Leslie and I did a road trip up to Vermont, New Hampshire, Mass and that area in the east one year.... The colors back there are reds and oranges.....God really knows how to paint his world.......It has been unusualy hot his summer....so cooling down is a relief......A little rain this morning.  

Kar's family getting ready for Scotty's operation Monday....five days in the hospital and Kar will be right at his side....that's what mothers do......we are praying for him.

 

BIG NEWS........

Got a call this morning from this cute couple....AND.....Ashlyn excitedly told me they are pregnant!....they had found they had some problems...plugged tubes....which they fixed......and lazy sperm.....and were on the verge of trying intervetro....something or another.....and very expensive....well she was late and got some sticks to pee on.....am I PG? .....it looks like it? Ashlyn was so excited she went and bought 8 more test sticks....and they were all positive....so she could tell Alex.. I am so excited for them.....Ashlyn has twin brothers and Alex's mother is a twin......MAYBE?

 

9-11.....20 YEARS AGO.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

20 years ago today the world was rocked when two enemy planes flew into the twin towers and killed so many wonderful...innocent people....the beginning of a 20 year war with the talaban....also a plane hit the pentagon and one went down in PA....we remember these people each year on this day......I have been down to this sacred spot and into the church but we didn't know you needed reservations to get into the fountain area .....so missed out on that.  The pictures will forever be etched in our minds of this terrible thing...and the war goes on.

 

SHARE CROPPING....

I love my next door neigbor ....but we cannot talk politics!  We can talk about the weather...church.....family...but not politics,,,,,,We have worked out sharing land .....every year she plants a garden along my front porch because I face the sun...her land not so much....she buys, plants and waters all summer....I sit on my porch and watch them grow and eat them....tomatoes....cucumbers....zucchini....squash and a pepper plant....It has done so well this summer and we are sharing with the neighbors....so fun when she does all the work.....but she is 14 years younger too.....
