The First Week of October, or Thereabouts

We've been away from home a lot lately, but I couldn't say what exactly we've been up to. ; )

House-shopping some, and trying to find Daddy some jeans that fit, since he's lost 70 lbs...!...and library and running those little errands that pile up so if you don't stay on top of them.....hopefully we're done with all that for a while! LOL

Last night we had a wild idea....spend the night in the woods and hope to see some wildlife. Well, it didn't work out so well. lol By 10:00 the squirrels were bored and wanted to come home! They didn't even wait until the moon came up over the mountain. LOL This morning Anna said she wished we'd stayed, and then, when I asked if she wasn't lots more comfortable sleeping at home, she said she was. : ) I was certainly glad to get to sleep in my own bed! : ) We didn't see or hear anything, either, so it was kinda a bust. ; )

Tonight they're watching "Hello Dolly"....my mom gave us her copy, because my squirrels liked it more than she did. : )

They're also eating H'ween candy. Anna said, "Halloween better hurry up...we'll be out of candy." LOL

Today we volunteered at the food pantry, and my sister brought her oldest daughter down to help, and they all had lots of fun playing with the food. LOL

We went to the Salvation Army thrift store Friday, and found two nice bookshelves for the girls for $15 each! *Hopefully* we'll have a house before long to put them in! LOL

We went yesterday to look at one...don't get me started on it! Dreadful! I think we might be going to see another Saturday......there has to be something out there somewhere!

In the meantime, we're happy here for right now. Our odd neighbour has started being quiet, so it's nice better here again. : )
