Better late than never....

I posted these on facebook but looks like I forgot to post them here...if I wait till next year, I am apt to forget about them.

These were taken in Arthur, Illinois last month.  I think they are from a pumpkin carving contest.

Did you notice the one second from the right on the middle row? 

I think you will enjoy them if you click to expand the view.

Birthday flowers

One of my daughters sent me these beautiful flowers...I thought I would show a few of them individually.  (Not sure what is going on, but this photo looks a bit washed out compared to them in real life.)

They are gorgeous!

and one more...

One of my sister-in-laws and I are almost the same age.  She told me that she told my brother  she was going to start telling people she was 70.  That way people would tell her how wonderful she looks for her age and how great it is that she gets around so good.   I think that is a pretty good idea.

From today....

Another venture...actually we took a long, slow rambling drive.  We both wanted to get out and see some of the autumn color.   We have been seeing color of course, but always on the way to somewhere else.  Today was dedicated to the enjoyment of the color.  True,  lot of trees are bare, but there is still a lot of beauty to be found.

This is where the above picture was taken....Mansfield, Indiana.

Back to Roger...I am amazed that he is now capable of this.  At first we had to watch everything we did.  His blood pressure was all over the place, and when it would drop down real low he would be dizzy and come close to falling.  I avoided getting out at times like that.  I was always on edge...afraid to let him out of my sight, and that was not only because of the blood pressure...I was worried he would fall, or run into something. 

To be truthful I was not real comfortable with him fishing here....so we only stayed a few minutes.  We were both weary and hungry anyway.
