Fall is here!

Dear Family and Friends,

It is chilly out in the early morning now...walking at 7:30am we have to have 2 layers on to withstand the chill. Definitly fall and the acorns are dropping in bunches so many on the ground now. I love this time of year though and yet it means that cold cold weather is ahead. Our summer was a good one with only about 3 days of smoke so that wasn't too hard to handle. Mt. Shasta got alittle dusting of snow on it now and it doesn't look so baren with no white at all.

Not much else to report for this week. Just working and trying to keep things going smoothly around the house...actually Mack does most of it now..haha.

He does alot of the dinners, and he is a great cook.

I did get to go over to Wendys for a afternoon ~~ we did some yard work and errands for the kids and caught up on our families doings. We went on a hour walk also and so I got in about 6 miles in that day; 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon~~that is a good workout for 1 day. Wendy's family is a still very full and busy with her boys at home. She is very lucky to be able to be apart of all of it and spend more time with them without working at Raleys anymore....So happy for her and Bob. It was a great day in the country...enjoyed it tremedously. I just gotta see the mountians and trees up close sometimes...it makes me feel so much better! Even though our house is in a beautiful area too...with trees and mountians...over in Ft.Jones it is even prettier and looks more like Colorado....and only 20 minutes away.

My son Eric, had 1 wisdom took pulled (a upper one) this week ~~day after his 29th Birthday~~ and he said it was a tough one...took 2 doctors and 1 nurse and 1 1/2 hours to complete the extraction. They told him to go to a oral surgeon for the other one next time if he really wants it out. They said it was the hardest extraction either doctor had ever done..Poor Eric...I hope his jaw is feeling better by now.

So guess that is all for now...I will post again sometime soon!

Hugs & Prayers,

BJM
