Saturday, in the park

George is supposed to take me, and himself, to the Buffalo today to see the elk.  It will be a great day for a ride and maybe a walk in the park.  Pictures to follow.

I got this blue and white crock yesterday at St. Vincent de Paul.  I can put an arrangement in it or just leave it like this.  I do not like artificial flowers on the table, so it will either be none or real flowers.  None will probably look neater over time.  Or, maybe I could do a fall leaf arrangement.

Aren't the sheep napkin rings cute?

Thursday, I made chicken and dumplings for George.  I made a pan of real cornbread for myself.  Real as not Jiffy Mix and cooked in the iron skillet.  It was really good.  Yesterday, I took the left over chicken and cornbread and made chicken and dressing casserole.  It was medium to fair but better than most of the stuff I cooked when Helen was here.

I have pictures too...

Robert took this picture.

Hannah can wink.

My Tree

It is a beautiful evening but it is supposed to get cold, around 40, tonight and not climb out of the 40's tomorrow.  The trees are turning and are really pretty.

Helen, I gave Lisa S. one of your pans of rolls.  She took them home to her family and they loved them.  She said she tried to 'friend' you on facebook, so you might check.

Friends

I saw Vivian Tushing at the grocery store today.  Patsy, she said to tell you she was so sorry and she had been thinking of you.  She can only see out of one eye now, but she is still driving although limited to the store, doctor and church.  She looked really good.

Betty Bass, Donna Kay and many more have asked about you.

Helen said I did not cook while she was here.  That is not true.  Saturday morning I made pancakes and Saturday night I made spaghetti.   

Us, with ID's

Helen has left the state...

Hallelujah!!!!!!!

Everyone had a great time.  The kids loved Aunt Helen and she helped entertain them.  Robert and Hannah both told her they loved her.  Grandma tried to be funny and tell Robert he should not call her Granny because Grandma did not like that.  Robert said 'I sorry', hung his head and big tears came in his eyes.  He fixed Grandma good.  She will not be saying things like that anymore.

We saw the big buck yesterday morning down by the salt block, a little fawn in the road right in front of the house, a small buck about 6 point in the yard this morning and about 15 to 20 turkeys over by the red barn when we took Helen to the airport. 

I meant to take the kids into the airport so Robert could see a plane, but Helen and Papa had other ideas.  Helen said 'you can just drop my tail off.'  Robert really like that. He kept saying drop her tail off, just drop her tail off.

I have written a poem for Benjamin about his Granny.

Granny saw turkeys, 

Granny saw dear,

Hannah saw Granny's

Underweer!!!
