Cemetery Visit

 Far Guy and I made a cemetery visit a few weeks ago to change out the flowers from Summer to Fall.


It would have been my Mother's 97th birthday she died when she was 94 years and 121 days old. Mom picked out the gravestone after my Father died.   Having vases on each side of the headstone makes it easy to have flowers there year round....nothing to obstruct mowing or trimming grass.

Book Club 2026: October

 The October Book club choice was The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne by Ron Currie.


I give it a two on my scale of one to ten on Good Reads I gave it a one out of a five.   Not my kind of book...it was a struggle to get through. 

Minnesota Weather:  High 85F or  29C   Low 52F  or 11C. 

Our oldest daughter and her beau are here visiting.  Nice to have company!

Sore Arm

I had my Covid Booster on Thursday...I have sort of a sore swollen arm and had a long afternoon nap on Friday....other than that I am ok.  I will get my flu shot when I am totally recovered. 

Smudge likes to play ball so she limbered up my arm nicely!

 

You can see her brother Baxter in the background...he does not play ball.

My sister in law spent a night in the hospital this week after three ER visits and one ambulance ride.  She has Myasthenia Gravis and getting meds to the right levels is a challenge.  Prayers for her are appreciated!

What's cooking?  Pork chops and wild rice. 

Minnesota weather:  High 69 F or 21 C   Low 56F or 13C

100

 My Dad would have been 100 today.  He only made it to 96 years and 71 days.  Just a bit short of his goal. 

This is us...Dad and me twenty years ago...Dad was 80 and I was 55.  

Time marches on...and our days are numbered...so make the best of each day that the good Lord gives us...until he calls us home.
