Home Again, Home Again

I've been spending a few days with Ralph in Virginia Beach. He was on call through the week and weekend and needed to be there, so I joined him. I took some projects with me to fill my time when he was at work. All in all, it was a wonderful time. I'm back in Richmond now, getting ready for Thanksgiving.

I spent some of today with Anna and Wesley. We had lunch at Guadalajara, played at the Discovery museum, and rode the trolley (a bus that looks like a trolley) through Charlottesville. Wesley helped point out things on the tour. We rode past the hospital where he was born, the University of Virginia, and the chapel where his parents were married. Then we walked to The Mud House for coffee, before returning to our car. All in all, it was a real nice time.

Days Of Rain

Rain that began Tuesday afternoon has continued around the clock until this morning. Poor Gwyneth does not like to go outside when it is raining, so I've had to suit up for the rain to take her outside. We're both thrilled it's stopped. It's time for our soggy grass to begin drying out.

We're pleased to have Anna and Wesley here for an overnight visit. Due to illness, we've had to cancel a couple of planned visits. We are making up for lost time and enjoying the day!

Congratulations

Our very good friends are first time grandparents with the birth of twins last Monday. Nolan and Alexa are the pride and joy of a large extended family. I've been working on crocheting these two baby blankets for a few weeks. Today, I'll mail them to the new parents, with love.

Election Day! I've already voted.

Halloween Past

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:49:57 -0600

Last night, as I was involved with giving out the candy, I remembered one Halloween when I got to go trick or treating with my neighbor Garry. The two of us were young, and after we'd gone to the homes on our street, Garry wanted to keep going. We trick or treated for blocks and both got a lot of candy. After a while, I was lost. I don't really know if Garry was too. But at one house, a lady answered, and it was my Aunt Winifred. Suddenly, I knew just where I was. She was quite surprised to see me, had us come in and phoned my mother. Mom drove over to get us and I can still remember being so happy we didn't have to walk home!

We've got big puddles outside. It's been raining steadily through the night and half the morning. We needed the rain, but it's really accumulating. I have all the shades up as I'm feeling sunlight deprived! Perhaps it'll be drier in Arizona for the game with the Panthers. If not, they'd better wear the black uniforms instead of the white ones!

It may be Halloween, but we're going to be turning off the porch light at kickoff time for the Oklahoma State and Texas game. Good luck to the Cowboys!
