Fall is coming to our little part of the country. The weeknights have been cool with temperatures in the 40s & 50s with daytime highs in the low/mid 70s. But the best part has been sunny skies each day. The trees are turning those bright fall colors that we are lucky to see for a few weeks each year. It’s kind of like spring when the trees and bushes are starting to come alive, just gives you a awesome feeling.
Can’t believe two weeks from today we will be heading south by way of north. Nope, that wasn’t a miss type; we’re going up through the UP then down to Sturgeon Bay WI to see friends Marilynn and Gary for a few days. Then we’ll head towards Texas. But with weather like we’ve had the last week and they are calling for the same for the next week it’s hard to get motivated on getting things packed. I’m trying to stay away from the grocery store and use up what we have here.
Finn was returned to his parents and Peppy is a happy girl. Although I think she does miss Finn, that night she just kind of sat by me with sad eyes. I had to post this picture on Pepper’s Facebook page with the caption “I miss Finn”

And yes Pepper does have her own Face Book page and has had for a couple of years. This is where she and several other puppies join in and talk about life through the eyes of puppies. If your interested it’s a open group and look up Pepperpuppy Moore.
We worked a little on the Estate Sale furniture we got last weekend. We were planning on leaving it until next spring but it was so nice out that Larry wanted to use the stripper out in the garage. While he did that I took some elbow grease, Old English and just cleaned up the sewing cabinet.
Here’s some Before & After
This morning we went to gr-son’s football game. They lost (first one) by one touch down in the last few minutes but it was an exciting game. Hard to decide who’s more vocal – players or parents – naa it’s the parents. But it was nice listening to the parents and coaches telling these 8-9 yr olds what a great game it was and how well they played. So many times you hear about kids getting negative comments when they lose a game.
On the way home we stopped at our weekly hang out “Menards”. Larry saw on line how Menards have buildings they bring out for xmas decorations. So he wanted to check it out and see if they would work for the future train set up. Besides we figured we’ve spent so much time and $’s there why not have their store part of the train set up. So here’s what we got.
The front
The Garden Area
It has moving parts, gates and people and even plays the Menards song.
Well that’s it for this week. Time to call in an pizza order, pick it up and head out to the farm to have dinner with the siblings.
Oh and speaking of pizza our gr-daughter Anissa starts her 2nd job at a Pizza Place today. I asked her why a pizza place, her response – grma I love pizza – daaa
Till next time…………………………………..
