Autumn 2017

Well another Autumn has arrived and will be gone before we know it.  Then it will officially be Winter.......which means cold, snow and shoveling, icy bad roads and staying inside!  I think the snow is beautiful but I am not in love with the cold weather and slippery roads! 

Tom has been busy working overtime hours and not getting enough rest and sleep.  He just won't quit all the overtime.  I know that when they post it, he has to work it.  But he doesn't have to always volunteer for it!  He says we "need" the money.  Which isn't entirely true.  Yes, the extra money is nice especially with Christmas coming up, but we don't need it to survive.  But will I ever convince him of that?  NOT A CHANCE!

Michelle turned 49 October 18th!  I can't believe that I have a daughter that old.  I remember when I was that age and it doesn't seem that long ago, but I guess it really is!  All the kids and grandkids are getting older.  Emily and Tyler's wedding was beautiful......if not on the chilly side.  It was 46º up in the mountains where she chose to have the wedding ceremony.......windy and it had rained early that morning.  Some one said they also saw hail.......and this was August!  And there was still snow in places in the mountains.  It was almost to the Continental Divide!
