    Good morning.
    Roger, we went out in the pumpkin fields, definitely grown there. The farm owner came over to talk with us...it was interesting...he bought the farm in 2008 and has been making a lot of improvements. Even has a solar energy system. They make and sell ice cream from grass fed cows. They have apple orchards and peach orchards and dairy cows too. As far as the credit card, they are checking into it and will send us a letter in 7-10 days. I'm glad they caught unusual activity.
    Off for a massage this a.m.
    Happy Monday!

    Hi Vix
    That is interesting and a contrast to so many I see advertised on the TV around here. The Ice Cream could be very good if they use a simple natural ingredients recipe where they use Sugar and not HFCS.

    If I was not afraid of the expense down the road I might be interested in Solar Power. However since it Would have to go on the roof that expense might be high down the road when the roof needs replacement.

    Good Luck with the Credit card Info, Hopefully it helps

    More Humor posted today, Enjoy

    Hi
    I was out doing some walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was in the 69 on the porch and 69 on the cable channel and felt more humid as well as warmer than yesterday. I could see where it had rained and part way through my walking it rained for 15-20 minutes and then stopped. There is heavy rain in the forecast for today too.

    Hi Irene
    Busy is better than bored IMO :)
    Is the freezer ready to go, I seem to recall that on mine there are a couple of things that need to be tightened to keep the compressor secured for transit and then released to operate.

    Good Luck getting everything done and a quick sale when the time comes.

Today I went to home depot and got all my paint so now I will start painting each room on Thursday the handy man comes starting to get excited will be happy to get started hoping by the 1st of the year I will be done with most of the work. This morning when we walked it was like 70 but it was windy.

    Good morning;
    We have been super busy playing tourist. We have been the the Dreamland wax museum, the Roger Williams zoo pumpkin spectacular, Faneuil Hall and Boston public market. Today we are going out to breakfast and then the museum of science.
    Yesterday we also went to a pumpkin patch and bought pumpkins and carved them last night.
    It rained a little yesterday. Right now it is pouring, so we will be doing indoor things today.
    Irene-good luck with all your painting.
    Vix-I am glad you are enjoying the stain glass class, you are so creative.
    Roger-thanks for the humor and articles.

    I stopped at Dunkin Donuts for my coffee this morning, Yesterday when I looked at my email I saw a notice that a free coffee was about to expire on the 28th so I used it today so as to not wait until the last minute, just in case :)

    It is a much nicer day today, Yesterday we had off and on rain until early afternoon, then around 8PM I could see Lightning out the Living Room Picture Window.

    Hi

    I did stop and pick up some Black Walnuts while walking, The Crop in this area is very light this year compared to previous years. Likewise for fruit trees, The Apple tree where I picked up drops in prior years does not seem to have set any fruit this year.

    Hi Vix
    If I said I have been walking more steps and time the last few days, That has contributed to my steps, I did not bother adding in the walking from my running around :)

    The Holiday tree sounds like it will be pretty, Can we expect a picture, possibly back-lit to show the colors better?

    It was chilly out this morning, not real bad, I did not use heated gloves and only wore the Hoodie with no sweatshirt under it as I will be doing when it gets colder.

    It was overcast when I headed out and the Sun came out on the way back home and now it is overcast once more :(

    Decisions, decisions :)

    Enjoy the day

    Hi Vix
    I should do a run to the library for audiobooks, However I need to create a list of what I have not yet listened too. I keep lists using wordpad of audiobooks or eBooks that I have listened to or read. The eBooks I view on a Kindle and most of the Audiobooks on my iPod. OTOH Currently I am listening to one playing it through the computer as I type this :)

    Walking around this week longer distances than usual You would have thought I would be able to sleep well last night, Not so.

    Today I may do a Grocery Store run if my Brother goes out letting me get my car out without pestering him to move his F150. Since It is not for anything I need, mainly optional items I can not see any need to have him let me get my car out. If I do go shopping wish me luck passing by temptations, Grocery stores and the junk foods they sell are a weakness of mine.

    Hi
    I did some walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was in the 61 on the porch and 62 on the cable channel, That is a large change of temperature from yesterday at the same time. I did get Spritzed on a couple of times while walking. The forecast rain is supposed to be heavy this afternoon.

    Depression tied to shorter lifespan

    Some of the article
    (Reuters Health) - People who suffer from depression may not live as long as individuals who don’t experience this mental health disorder, a Canadian study suggests.

    Researchers examined six decades of mental health and mortality data on 3,410 adults during three time periods: 1952 to 1967, 1968 to 1990 and 1991 to 2011. Depression was associated with an increased risk of premature death in every decade of the study for men, and starting in the 1990s for women.

    Good morning.
    My next project will be a flower in an oval shape. I'm keeping it small for starting out!
    Went for a walk in the park yesterday and this morning. The weather is great for walking with a light jacket. :)
    Happy Saturday!

    Hi Vix
    with the Stained Glass I can understand that, first You learn to walk then to run :)

    I had put a sweat shirt on and heavy gloves this morning, then I went out the door, turned around and came back in and switched to a light Long sleeve shirt and light gloves.

    It was a gloomy looking morning, excluding that it was nice outside while walking.

    Enjoy the Day
    Roger
