I took time to have hot tea and Cheerios for breakfast before I picked Autmn up. We made such good time to Norwin that we popped into Walmart for a few minutes. I needed onion salt. Yesterday when I went they were totally out at Greensburg’s store. Totally! So I got two just for a security measure. Also had been doing some thinking about what kind of lights I wanted to put on the deck for the holidays. I was going to put up ‘curtain’ lights but was worried that they would tangle and blow down. So I got a box of LED multi-colored icicle lights. They will hang down enough that I can see them from the family room. We’ll see how that works!

Halloween lights look nice but don’t hang down
These should hang down a bit.

Autmn’s appointment went well, and we were headed home before 11am. I dropped her off at her dad’s then got a Frozen Coke at Burger King in Youngwood. They were short staffed and I had to wait a few minutes but not a problem. When I gave the lady my order she handed me the drink and said: It’s on the house – sorry you had to wait! That was very nice.

I worked both stores, then had to stop and see Mike G. Made a small Vacation Account deposit and then headed home for lunch. I have been working on the idea that I would rake up the mulch at the left side of the front yard and let grass grow. It used to be a flower bed but that didn’t pan out very well. Letting grass grow back would be much easier – mowing that small space is easier than pulling weeds. I’ll stop Thursday after work and get grass seed.

I moved the stones to curve around the bushes and pulled up the plastic and mulch

Raked smooth – now for grass seed!

Ended up I had mulch all over me and through my clothes. I changed in the garage, then got a shower and put on my PJ’s. That will be it for today! Except for supper later.

October 11 – Relate a story about a mouse in the house. ” ‘Mice’ always found a way in when cold weather set in. They were usually caught in the cellar before they ever came into the kitchen. Your (meaning mine) story of the mouse at the cabin is more exciting.”

Calendar inspiration – Golden days, happy memories. What is a favorite memory from your childhood? My favorite memories would probably be playing paper dolls with Karen; playing in the cabin woods, especially Dot’s Boarding House. In Greensburg, probably teaching my sister baton and playing ‘bride’ with our cousin Terry. Any cabin activity or time at Grama Crooks’ was wonderful!

TOMORROW October 12th is:

I know several farmers so I can certainly celebrate and appreciate them. I just put money in the savings account today and I’m not going to work tomorrow so forget the Teddy Bear! I’d LOVE to take my parents to lunch… I’ll celebrate their memory! God bless…
