Old Friends

This weekend was beautiful.  I got the porch decorated for Fall - I have some Halloween touches, but more will go up on Monday or Tuesday.  And I bought the Halloween candy, so we will be ready for the kids.

I changed up the look of this pumpkin,

The end of summer, I change the sugar water in the hummingbird feeder, but I think they have all left for sunny Mexico.

You can barely see the touch of Halloween - the big gold spider on the leave of the ammaryllis.

It was Homecoming at the Naval Academy and Christian Horak and Andy Van Slyke came back.  I went to the football game with them - it is unbelievable that they graduated 20 years ago!!!!  We had such a good time catching up - if your ears were burning, they wanted to know what everyone was doing - and there was a lot of laughter.

Navy fumbled on the first possession of the game against San Jose State, but they managed to turn the game around and win.

We have the carpet guys coming out tomorrow - again - because the red wine stain came back!  I told Mom that we can get it cleaned again and see if that helps or turn the carpet around and hide the murder scene under the couch.  And yes, we have gone to white wine.

I talked to Lori today and she caught me up ~ Jesse went to Knoxville, TN with 7 others and went to the Alabama - Tennessee game!  However did they get tickets?  Or, did they just tailgate?  That is what I would have done.  Maren moves back home next weekend - to save money and study.  Lori is thrilled.  Carolyn is doing training in the field - and has to eat MRE's, which she is not loving.  Lori says she does love the triage and experience of treating patients in the field.  If there are any mistakes in my reporting, you know you can contact me and give me the real story.

This may not be the best post - I am tired and want to take a nap - the late night Giant's game are killing me.  I was texting Carole at the game and I think Hunter Pence should be the MVP, but I guess I will wait until after Madison Bumgarner pitches tonight.  I do like him.

And look at this cutie pie!  I took this last night on my phone - sent it to Amy who re-sent it via e-mail so I could share this very good picture!  Do you know who this is?

Much love,
Leslie
