Wed. Nov. 1
From a much cooler, but sunny MO,
This has been a quiet day for us.
We had less than half of the usual number of trick or treaters last night. I would guess we knew at least 90 percent of the kids that came by -- usually we may only know about 10 percent. The businesses around the square have a "BooFest" from 4 until 6 on Halloween and when Pat and I came through town the kids were out in force.
Jim joined both breakfast groups this a.m. and I opted to stay in bed with the girls. We finally began moving about 9:00. I have almost finished giving the family room area a light going over and it looks better. I still need to go over it more carefully as I keep finding items to donate. Of course I have been going to do this for several weeks.
Jim and I got out to do errands this afternoon - left hours at RSVP, Jim checked on something where he stores his boat, made a trip to the local John Deere place to get some carpet cleaner (Sandy and Pat feel it is the greatest), and a weekly trip to HyVee to take advantage of the "old geezer" discount. Jim has also mulched leaves today - sure helps in locating where the girls like to "dump" in the backyard.
Some of you might be interested in noting that Herb Coult died. I always enjoyed the Coult kids as they went through school - and the grandchildren. I hadn't realized his vintage or that he had been so ill. The obit in the St. J paper indicated they had one son that died in Vietnam - I had forgotten that.
I join the ladies for breakfast in the a.m. and then we plan on napping during the middle part of the day. We will leave in the afternoon for Boonville and the final regular game of the season - will probably be home close to midnight. We'll need to recuperate on Friday.
We plan on stopping south of Waverly so Jim can resupply on apples - as he and Abby thoroughly enjoy them. Jim eats almost all the apple and then holds on to the core while Abby finishes the job.
Dara's blog was interesting today as it seems Doug got home on Tuesday to discover the two dogs had somehow managed to get to most of the Halloween candy at some point during the day. Dara called the vet's clinic to see what they needed to watch for as chocolate is usually considered to be deathly for dogs. Her blog indicated they had survived the night - dogs and humans.
Be safe.
