    We are going up in the mountains tomorrow to see the colors. The trees in town here have not started changing but the higher altitude and colder weather makes the mountains change sooner.

    Your picture reminds me of the benediction we used to sing at the end of the church service when I was a little girl. It holds many good memories.

    My 96 year old Dad's TV was not working. After 3 weeks got my son to come over and check it out. ... Dad had unplugged it! Why? He needs to use some brain cells in order not to lose them. TV is better than always total silence of being alone in his room.
    I need to find out when the next football game is and be down there to turn it on for him...or get him down to the activity room where others are watching.

    @Asobfalls - must say that though it really is not funny what happened with your dad and the tv made me smile - my dear mom passed 11 years ago at age 93 and she could not hear well so we would talk very loud and she would always say 'why are you yelling at me' but if we lowered our voice she would say 'speak up you speak to quiet' = interesting when you get to that age we just dont remember things - mom kept forgetting that she could not hear well - and she also could not see to well - quite the combination - miss her a lot

    Having a relaxing day - being retired we find that we never have to rush for many things as we have so much more time to do all that needs to be done. We really love the new church we have been going to now for 5 months - Monday through Saturday while having breakfast we go to the website for the church and click on a sermon from the Pastor. He started at the church in 2018 and we are in October 2019 of listening to his past sermons. When we get all caught up with them then we will go back and listen to all that the assistance pastor has done - a great way to get to know them.

    Am feeling a bit chilled today - the cooler weather has started so that could be part of it. So am going to snuggle up with a good book plus the Bible for some time today also will work on the next blanket for the homeless.

    This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it = Psalm118:24

    - Marilyn

    Saturday: Well, decided to zoom breakfast today, but did get take out. Since we’ve enjoyed the breakfast quesadilla, we decided to get it again. Delicious.

    Today is vacuuming, floors and the kitchen. They’re in pretty good shape, so shouldn’t take long to complete.

    It is the last Saturday of September. WHAAATTTTT?? So better enjoy it.

    We are winterizing our house today since we will be gone all of October. Our swamp cooler is unhooked so I hope we are done with hot weather! Our children worry about my husband getting up on the roof to unhook the cooler but we take it easy and I hold on to the ladder while he goes up and down. I'm not sure what I would do if he fell but he feels safer if I am holding on to the ladder. I picked a bunch of beets today so we will be having beets for dinner and I will eat the tops myself. That is one thing that my husband does not really like so I have them all to myself. Yummy! :)

    There is a "Kansas City Chiefs" football game at noon...I'm going to get Dad into his ball cap and fleece Chiefs throw and get him down to the activity room where they should have the game on...perhaps he can enjoy the game with others. Since it starts at noon, he can probably get a hot dog as well!
    Football is something I have never watched, but I am trying to bring it back for him.

    Zoom church service today since we are still coughing. We are not contageous but for the comfort of others, it is best we worship at home. Our minister just had a new baby in the past month and he was telling stories about his adventures this month. It brings back memories for us even if out last baby was 39 years ago.

    Healthyme: Awwww, your pastor will have many more stories to tell. Good you did the zoom church service. Been continuing to do that, too. Have to stay safe, stay healthy.

    Not sleeping well. Under the 'no good deed goes unpunished' we had opened our home to a person in need and were left with bedbugs. Months later, $$$ later and I am still in distress with poor sleep.
    But it is a beautiful day and God is good to us!

    We traveled over the mountain yesterday to be in Denver for a month so I can get some varicose vein procedures. The first one is tomorrow and he said it "might hurt a bit". He also told me not to go on U-tube to see what he was doing. Of course, that was the first thing I did because I feel if I am prepared to know what is being done, I can handle things better. That comes from being a retired nurse and wanting to learn about things.

    I am so great that my husband has good reflexes as we drove yesterday. We were involved in two incidents that were near accidents - totally not my husband's fault. People do not make very smart decisions when they drive sometimes. I am very greatful for a safe trip.

    Yesterday did water aerobics in the apartment pool. May be the last time as the weather is turning cooler.
    All good things come to an end. perhaps that should be 'all things come to an end'
