MONDAY:
The purpose of today is today!  I just read that somewhere.   When you get up late you feel like you have wasted the day, so you just have to make the best of it.  You start late and you finish late. 
Due to Mother Nature changing her dress for the coming season; we must follow suit.  Get ready for the cold!  44 this am.   I don't care when Martha Stewart changes to flannel sheets; I changed ours today.  Bob also took out all the air conditioners.  I do miss having the bedroom window open.  And it's back to the good old fashioned oven meals; tonight it's pork roast, sauerkraut, baked potatoes and applesauce. 
Working on computer I entered all the cash receipts, sent some e mails, and downloaded the debits.  I wrote out one thinking of you card, the wash is done and I just need help folding the sheets.  A very purposeful day.  Heading for bed soon, and the weather forecast is for the First Frost!  32o degrees tonight.
TUESDAY:
Yep, woke up to a frosted neighborhood.  The shed roof was completely white.  Hate the thoughts of more to come.
This morning I drove down town for some errands, then went to lunch with some girlfriends.  One was celebrating a birthday and another had just received her first Social Security check and we gave her the business about reaching maturity, ha!  After we went to the casino with a limit of $10.00, well we all know there in it to make money, and mine was gone in 15 minutes.  I had to wait around till my friends went broke.



Congratulations David

I guess today's high light was a picture received from son David.  He was entertaining customers today at Gowanda Creek and he finally caught a big fish.  Now we will have to hear what he was using; a woolly?  Wonder what kind of fish it is?  David's caption was "Fish On!"  Sunday I was talking to guys who had what I call a Rainbow Trout and they called it a Steel head.  They said I was right, but they explained to me it's a Steel head until it matures.  Oh,  anything to confuse a woman.  I'm gullible.
Bob's evening was watching TV as he worked outside all day.  

BOB CUT OFF THE HOSTA PLANTS AROUND THE POOL-THEY WERE UGLY LOOKING.

I did some mending then worked on my Blog.  Trouble with the photo.
WEDNESDAY: 


FISH ON! 

I was up at 5:00 am, now where to heck am I going at that hour?  My sleep patterns are not normal, that's for sure. 
We received another photo from son, David.  He has caught another fish.  
Today really wasn't very warm to be fishing but if you catch one, what does the temperature matter.  I hope his customers are having some luck too.
In other news; Annalynn has been selected to give the inspirational speech at the LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY MARATHON out in California this weekend.  We are so proud of her.  We should have some photos coming soon of the race. 
This weekend is our last camp out for the season, then it's winterize the coach.  Always a sad time.   This morning I spent some time going thur closets looking for warmer clothes to bring.  Bob is always telling me that he needs jeans.  I found that he has 16 pair hanging in there.  My gosh Bob!  4 lined with flannel, 2 Levis, 2Wrangler, 2 Arizona and several that are to big or to long.  He just doesn't look -they have to be right in front of him. 

We went to Wal*Mart this afternoon as I wanted to get an alarm clock for the motor home, an alarm  with batteries for when we are dry dock camping.  We have been using our cell phones but up in Canada we wondered if it would cost us a phone call.  I also found the Reynolds Crock Pot plastic bags, freezer tape, and bay leaves.  I've been hunting for bay leaves for awhile.  So as much as I hate the Big Box store, I guess it has some advantages.
THURSDAY:
 Big plans for today.  I wanted to bake to have something to take camping.  Plus I want to pack clothes, food and what ever.  Always first I have my coffee, then check the computer-this kinda wakes me up.   Then shower.  Now to decide what to bake.  I went thur recipes and wanted to make something pumpkin but nothing turned me on.  I ended up making a Fudge Ribbon Cake to take and a Apple Pie just to have tonight.  I didn't want my apples to spoil as I bought them a week or so ago.  It has been some time since I made the Fudge Ribbon Cake and the last one sunk in the middle.  So I very carefully did each step; it took me an hour to get it in the oven.  Getting slow there lady. 
I was in the kitchen from 10:30 till 2:45.  Enough of that s---.  I snuck off to the bedroom for a nap as my back was a barking!   Bob called me to ask if the pie was ready to come out of oven, as the timer said "0".  Man, I bolted out of the bed and ran to take the pie out.  It was okay but I could have burned the house down.
We carried some things out to motor home then had supper.  I wanted to see the movie downtown so we dressed to go there.  Again we were the only people in the theater.  Everyone must be at home watching the debate.  We can pick up on the summary of it.

The movie was "Trouble With The Curve", it's entertaining but Clint Eastwood was a grumpy old man again and he is losing his voice.   A baseball & love story.  No shooting, no sex.  Why do they have to be so explicit with sex: it's almost instructional now.  Big Bucks that's why.

Well my cohorts have all gone to bed including the dog so best I do too.  I need to find something to read first.
FRIDAY:    
We were all packed and backed out of the driveway about 12:30.  We only had about 15 miles to go to the campground so instead of towing the car, I followed the motorhome.  Our other 2 couples were just ahead of us.  We all checked in and received the key to hall for making our meals that we cook.

THE OFFICE, STORE, DINNING HALL AND SHOWER ROOMS.  
THERE IS A TRAVEL BROCHURE PLAN TO FOLLOW ALL THE QUILT PATTERNS ON BARNS IN THE AREA.


 

While the sun was out, we all sat around and visited and before long it was time to get ready to go out for our Fish Fry dinner.  We went to LB Grand in Le Roy.  Three of us had a side of Dolly's famous spaghetti which is a good meal; the rest had fish.   After this we returned to camp and had a fire.  No one stayed out very long as the temperature dropped fast and our shoulders were cold.  31o expected tonight.  The campground owners shut all the water off for the night.  So we went in and watched TV and used the computers.  Maybe tomorrow night will be warmer.
SATURDAY:
I opened the camper door to look out - holy cow--the car is covered with frost!  It was cold.

We went to the hall to make breakfast about 9:00.  Simple pancakes and sausage took forever as we tried to cook while blowing fuses.  We visited while waiting. 

CHAPTER 12 MEMBERS    WE ALL ENJOYED TRAVEL PHOTOS FROM THE JAE'S AND HANSON'S



VISITING   (SORRY IT'S BLURRY, I MUST HAVE MOVED.)

After we each went our own way; some to the farmer's market, the Caledonia Park, Camping World for parts and we went to the fishing hatchery. 

ENTERING THE FISH HATCHERY

Bob then drove all over looking for a parking place near the trout stream but the only place was like a mud hole.  Sorry Bob. 
Returning to camp, I built a fire and everyone came out to sit and visit until supper time.  Back at the hall, the fuses kept blowing so it was a while until we ate.
Rain started as we returned to motor homes so everyone went in.  Bob wanted to burn up some wood and clean the fire pit area so he went out with an umbrella and sat for a while.  A neighbor came over to visit.  I went out for a while.  When we go in we can enjoy hearing the rain on the roof.  I'm into a good book so that will finish my night.  It was a little  warmer today.
SUNDAY:
Much warmer today!  This morning for breakfast, Bonnie baked the biggest muffins for us all and Donna made waffles.  Donna  uses Club Soda to mix them up.  Everything was so good.  If I could make muffins that big and good, ahe.
We sat around for a while visiting before going back to the rigs and packing up to return home. 
At home, Betsy was in the kitchen cooking up a storm...turkey ball soup and fried slices of turkey.  Um good.  We had coffee together and then unloaded the motor home.  I may as well start the washing since I have plenty of time. 
I kept checking Face book for news on the Leukemia-Lymphoma Marathon  out in San Francisco and finally saw a poster or sign of some kind that said, I can, I will and I did.  So I'm assuming that  Team Annalynn all crossed the finish line.  I only have one photo so far, so I know Christianna made the finish line.  She is holding a gift from Tiffany's, one of the race sponsors.  Christianna has talked about doing this race to sponsor LLS and for the jewelry for about three years...nice going granddaughter! 

CHRISTIANNA WITH HER TIFFANY GIFT BOX.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Well, that's enough Blogging for this week.  It's time to post and wish you all a great week.  Thanks for hanging out with me.
