Dennis & the living miracle, Carolyn, are planning to be in Colorado for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Arrived back to Georgia safely after 2 good weeks in Colorado.  Emptied the dish washer for us every day.  Cooked 2 meals for us – meat loaf & sloppy joes.  Liked one spot on our love seat to sit in every day to work on her Bible Study.  Had lots of headaches – going to go to doctor in Georgia to check on them.

Had lunch with sister, Sharon, at Village Inn.  (Sharon’s face was swollen from having work done on her teeth.)

 The leaves are falling and the hint of snow is in the air. Fall is upon us and its been eventful.
We started off fall with Kevin having a bike accident requiring 11 stitches.  Sammie is busy learning at school and getting too big… and Taylor is taking in all the sights and sounds.

Taylor got to visit a pumpkin farm and pick out a pumpkin, pet farm animals and work on her tractor driving skills

We also hiked up to the top of Mount Herman in Monument. Sammie got to see all the cars that looked like ants.

Mom Ziegler has been living with us for a few weeks and getting some (maybe too much) kid time in. We are glad to have her with us

Had lunch with Lydia Peek today at VI.  Gone over 2 hours.  Really enjoyed it.

Went out to lunch with Doug (her son).  Headache doing better today (took percocet in the morning).

Has a bad headache.  Watched Taylor in am so Becky could drive for Sammie’s field trip.

Well… we woke up this morning below freezing and the feel of snow in the air. I have yet to see a flake but am excited to take sammie out to catch the first flakes on the tounge.  Pikes Peak did get a decent dusting of snow… so its just a matter of time now. 
Carolyn is still with us, however I think that she does not share the same passion for cold and snow
 The fall weather is bringing me some “not so deep thoughts”… so stay tuned 

Cooked meatloaf for dinner.

Well…. it was two weeks late because of Kevin’s bike accident, but Kevin got Becky out last night for some dancing (Tennessee Hick Dancing). After much peer pressure Becky rode the electric bull. Yeeehawww

Denny & Carolyn played with Sammie and Taylor in backyard.
