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 husband will need to help me download the pictures into here. It was a beautiful trip and there were even some pictures with red and orange in them.

@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

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.

HUGS

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.

Monday: Well, here is Monday here again! Hope it’s a good one.

Beautiful weather yesterday and supposed to be all week. Thankful for that.

HUGS and motivated Monday.

Asbo: Hope your Dad was able to enjoy the game. Saw the coach was taken of field by ambulance. Hope all is well w/him.

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!

It is raining today and is much cooler than yesterday. Our dog is hiding in the bathroom because she does not like the thunder. I guess she thinks it is her little "safe cave".

I had my first vein procedure today. The worst part was the numbing he had to do before the procedure. They used a laser to close off the veins. Today I am supposed to keep it elevated, walk every hour and keep compression stockings on to help it to clot in the incisions. So far I am just taking Tylenol and the pain is not too bad.

Positive thought today was that the staff said I was a very good patient in spite of being a nurse. Evidently, nurses and medical personelle can be a problem when they come in there. 😁
I have had some medical people as patients and can attest that they can ask a lot of questions and can be uncooperative. I am glad they thought I was a good patient.

It is certainly feeling like Fall weather. I am wearing a long sleeved shirt and still chilly. Today my leg is feeling pretty good. I took the dressings off which helped with being able to move my leg. They had put so many dressing on it, it felt like I had on a cast. I am praying that it is effective in helping my thigh pain be less.

Our daughter came over yesterday helped us process all the apples that had fallen off of the tree. We got enough to make 15 pies in the Winter. We will wait for the ones on the tree yet because they are still a little green. We will make quite a few sacks of apples with the skins on from them to make applesauce later. Our daughter then went to her knitting class in the evening and the grandkids stayed to play with us. We made lots of stories with the Barbie dolls and their travels.

Today we celebrate my grandaughter's first birthday. They are camping this weekend so we will go to the campground to celebrate with them and have chili for lunch on this cool day.
