Senility Rules!!! Huh? What? Who? When?

So because November birthdays were not posted I have missed ALL at least a day sometimes more. Not only did I miss Jeff and Michael but I missed my daughter-in-law, Leigh, and now my grandson, Elliott. I have to see it on facebook! Whoa is me. So for all those other November birthdays past - present - future, Happy Birthday! I can still (possibly) save face with mom's birthday. Remember, folks, according to The Queen Mother VaNile she only has two birthdays left. Put another candle on my birthday cake, we're gonna bake a birthday cake......

Color of Fall

Someday I may actually learn how to post pictures because this is the prettiest time of year out here in the east. It's an explosion of colors! Maybe someday some of you people may come for a visit and experience the beauty yourself! Hint! Hint! Hint! Happy Fall and Happy Halloween!
P.S. Looking forward to some of those Halloween 'cards' being posted Sydney!:-D

HOLY COW - IT'S OCTOBER?!?!?!?

And just like last year we posted late:

October 03 Zander Kasch Heinzig
October 19 Logan Risser
October 21 Aimee Benson Mahana
October 22 GK Risser and Whitney Kasch Heinzig
October 24 Isabella Noemma Wood (Amanda Fairbanks)

Time just ticks on by whether we like it or not. Dreary Erie has been just that for the last 6 days. Tomorrow it's supposed to begin to ease up and we are promised (so far) a beautiful weekend. I hope they're right because the doom and gloom weather has been affecting everyone. Today I sang songs about rain and smiles all the way to work. 'Pennies From Heaven' reminded me of daddy. He sang that song just about every time it rained. Good thing about this time of year out here are the beautiful fall colors busting out all over the place. When the sun starts shining, they will be even more beautiful. Oh yeah! Looking forward to the weekend for sure.

A Fast But Fabulous Update

Yes, yes, I'll bore you sometime soon with my vacation travelogue but until then.... some of you know that Jacob, Sara and Elliot came down this weekend. What a joy to catch up with them.

While they went to visit Ben, the rest of us watched Devon's soccer game. They didn't win ;0( but Devon is the smallest but scrappiest! Right in the mix. Love that girl.

That night it was dinner at Mom's where Elliot entertained us endlessly. Here's just a small example, along with a Secret Handshake that Devon and I devised to repeat in 1o years when, as Devon said, "I'll be 20 and you won't remember"... I swear, she said it all on her own. Out of the mouth of babes. Enjoy.

sidenote: Elliot's "sleeping trick" reminds me of a Stupid Pet Trick on Letterman. Check youtube "stupid pet trick- playing dead". Only Elliot's much cuter.
