Hello.........

 I  hope everyone is well and safe.  Les and I are trying. 

We've had some cooler days recently and I broke down and bought a large potted yellow mum for the porch.  It's been a long time since I've gotten one, and have said I wouldn't again, but it was just so pretty and it made me smile.  With our weather here, the mums are often all done blooming and are drying up before Halloween.  But I am enjoying it now.  And in case you are wondering, I was at the outdoor garden shop at the produce place, all masked up and had hand sanitizer along.  Got the nice pumpkin, too!

Here are the back yard decorations I can see from the living room.

And while getting into the spirit of things and thinking of things that make me smile, I finished putting out the Halloween decorations.  They are just small things I set out around inside the house.  And then I got the pillow covers out that Pam made for us a few years ago.

The appointment for my EMG testing was cancelled.  Evidently in all of Riverside Neurology, there is one person to do the testing and that person is sick.  And the appointment person said there was no telling when or if they were coming back.  So I am starting over with that and nothing happening so far.

"Something" got up under our grill cover and took out the grease drip pan.  And then took out the tin liner and chewed it up and put it out in the yard.  Have no idea what or who did this, but that was a greasy meal they had!  I have cleaned it all up now.

I have started our Christmas shopping and so far deliveries have been okay.  The reports on the holidays and shopping did not sound promising, so figured I'd better get started.

I have my annual eye appointment tomorrow morning.  Les has a doctor's appointment this week, too.  

So, life remains good, although different. Take care and stay safe.  God Bless America!
