Merry Green provided supplies and helped decorate picture frames. An Apple Bake-Off was held. Five desserts were introduced. All of them were wonderful. SRT Telecommunications served coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies. Pumpkins to be painted were provided by Donna Lunde, Greg Boutilier, and Ralph Larson. Paints were provided by Merry & Jo.

Ever wonder . . .

Why the sun lightens our hair and darkens our skin?

Why don't you eer see the headline "Psychic wins lottery"?

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a "broker"?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitos?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport "the terminal"?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

MATTHEW SAYS. . .

I went and got Matthew on Friday night. I had talked to him on the phone and missed him so much I just called back and asked if I could come and get him for a couple days. Holly said he had to be home by Sunday night cause they were going to order wrestling for him. He had been doing so good in school and helping around the house and it was to be a special treat. When I picked him up she said he had to be good at Grandma's house too. He didn't think this would be problem, cause according to Grandma he is always good. He got his treat! Boy, they learn early don't they!

Happy Halloween!

Just a thought ...

My Grandma Lucy always said if the spiders moved in early and set up shop we were in for a bad winter.

Have you noticed how the spiders have started t make ready for the cold weather and as soon as you sweep down there webs the are rebuilding. Master engineers, they are! Rob said he had noticed how the crows are hanging together. I ges this is also a sign of a bad winter. Well we are due for one. We have been quite lucky.

I remember when I was little and we would have 3 day blizzards. We had a wood stove in the kitchen and the furnace in the living room. We hung blankets in the door ways so not to warm any rooms that we didn't need. We would run from one room to another cause it was cold in between. The water would freeze up and the 2 TV stations would go out and we would play games and read. Well, maybe those days weren't so bad.

We would listen to the radio and there were always those people who had to go out and about and sometimes they turned out to be at somebodies house playing games and visiting.

I talk to a lot of people who come up here from the south and they are very concerned about our winters. Some of them can't believe I have lived
