Hoping the gremlins and ghouls pass you by so you can have a Happy Halloween. HOWL and have fun. Because we live out in the country, we don't get many trick or treaters. Last year we had ONE so here's hoping we break our record. The few kids that do live in Shongo go into Wellsville where all the many homes and many treats are more readily available. Lulu is staying here in Shongo. Did you guess who she is going as?.....Hint:POTUSFL. Answer: Michelle Obama.
Everything is going along at a routine pace for us. My last blogs were about our Ohio trip with Sam & Sandy. It was a great time. Hope you got to read them. My cousin-in-law, Clare, stopped by for a short visit. She flew their airplane from Abbotsford, Bristish Columbia to somewhere in Quebec. Then she landed in Wellsville before flying on to Wahington, DC. She is one daring and adventurous gal. She is so much fun to be around. Usually, her husband, my cousin Paul, visits here in Wellsville in October so he can run a race in our local "Ridgewalk Run". He has been so busy racing his race car this summer he

Really has dark skin....darker than what shows didn't have time to come here. They are making plans to visit us in Florida in mid January instead. Hope you get to meet them. It will be fun. I have only one other cousin, Mary Ellen. She lives in North Carolina. This year she came back to NY for an October visit. It has been 4 years since I have seen her. She looked great and it was wonderful to spend some time with her. We met her and her 3 other cousins on her father's side for a tasty lunch. Fun to be with all of them again. We always want to stop and see MaryEllen either going to or returning from Florida. We normally do that with our son Cory, who lives on the western side of NC. Mary Ellen lives on the Eastern end. One of these days...though. Cory's sister, Gwen and our brother-law Bob, came for an overnight visit a couple weekends ago. Bob had just had hand surgery and was doing well. It was wonderful to be with them again. They live in Clearfield, PA. --- which really isn't that far away so no more excuses....we shall plan to visit more often for sure.
We had so many stories and laughs to share. Their visit reminded us how much we miss them. Their visit was way too short. We want them to visit us in Florida, also. Hope they come down. Our present visitor is big, black and furry. Can you guess? It's our grand- dog, Cinder. He is Kim & Jim's black lab. What a great dog he is....so much like Chip. We love having on old pup around, again. But still not ready to get our own. Grand-dogs are good!
Our RV has been winterized and stands ready in our pole barn. Waiting to be started up for our journey to Florida. That comes any day after December 28th (our daughter, Lory's birthday). When the weather window shows us clear roads and no snow....we are on our way. Varooom!!! Hope you are all planning on joining us this year. We've saved a seat for you so get your bags packed. Going on another cruise in late January with the Tropical Palms group so you may want to throw in one of your snazzy, fancy outfits.
Thanksgiving is coming up sooner than we think. Lory & Jay are going to have
all of us to their house. Yippee. And then it's Christmas. My...how fast the time goes by. When I was a kid, one year seemed like ten years....these holidays took so long to come around. Now I can't keep up with them. Just in case I don't blog you: have a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas in advance.
Our days now will include our final visits to our dentist and doctors before we start in all over again next spring. Thank heavens we don't have any problems. Knock on wood! I won't bore you with my final follow up visit with my urologist. Remember I had surgery to remove a kidney stone that ended up not being there? I told that gruesome story in one of my blogs (titled Taking Good with the Bad). Well, the post op visit was not pleasant or pretty since I had my say and I said it as did the doctor. It's rather long and distressing to elaborate upon. Anyway, I am never going back to him and I put a grievance in against him. So be it......MOVING ON.
Here's hoping that all is well in your location and station in life.

My cousin ...in red blouse Stay well and stay in touch. Catch you next blog time.
