Another new week…

It’s hard to believe that October is half over and fall has really begun to settle in.  Our days continue to be in the mid 70’s with the cool nights of the 40’s but that will soon change if the weatherman is right…are they ever really right?  Regardless, it’s a beautiful season in central Kentucky with the changing colors of the trees, the squirrels frantically gathering nuts and burying them in some of my flower pots…UGH!.  Of course, there’s always a down side to this…raking and bagging leaves and black walnuts!  We don’t like black walnuts and the trees at the “blue house” are loaded and when they fall on the roof it sounds like a bomb has hit.  So far no guest have complained…nothing we can do about it anyway!

We had a good weekend and got to go to one of our neighbors cookout Friday night and that was fun…got to meet lots more Wilmore folks.  Then on Saturday night, we attended the “lack luster” UK / Alabama game.  No surprises there…UK got spanked once more.  Oh well, such is the life of the UK football program.  We did have fun and we loved visiting with the people around us.  Daniel and his boys also went but had seats elsewhere.  It was perfect weather for the game and we enjoyed an absolutely beautiful sunset.  God was showing us His handiwork in a most beautiful way.

The kids here are on their fall break…they need a break after two months of school?…so we are tagging along with the Crockett’s to go to the movies later this morning.  It’s been ages since we’ve been to see a movie so that will be good.  We’ll have to clean the “blue house” this afternoon since we have more folks coming in tomorrow so our day will be full.  Sometime during the afternoon, I plan to get my exercise in…hopefully before dark…and that should be a wrap.  Oh ya, gotta throw in dinner but that may be a rather simple task.  What to have, what to have?  Soup and sandwiches sound like a winner to me!

Guess that’s about all I know for now.  Our neighbor, Trish, seems to be on the mend and will start her radiation in a few week…will be 5 treatments…then do her round of chemo.  She’s very optimistic and knows she is winning this battle.  She has a great faith and trust in God so that’s a good, positive thing.  She’s loved my cooking and that was good to hear.  When I reminded her it was all gluten free, she was amazed and said she couldn’t even tell.  Another good thing!  Dad continues to get some stronger and is now walking the required time the cardiologist requested but still seems to wear out quickly.  That’s nothing new…SO DO I!!!  I think it has to do with aging.  Or is it just the “Golden Years” in for another laugh?  Regardless, we’re all able to get out of bed each morning, eventually get the body to move, and start another new day!  Sometime, I stand up and the body says “where you think you’re going?” before it gives in and lets me go.  Aging?

Have a good day and I love you all!

Blessings…..
