"Beary Scary" in Colorado! :-)

The pumpkin farm is open down the street, the neighborhoods around us have tall cornstalks growing in their fields, the trees are turning brilliant colors, and today the wind blew in a crisp feeling of fall. Here's a little sneak peak of our welcome to the new season!







The house is once again picked up, clean, and ready for fall! Our "Beary Scary" decor is cutesy more than scary, but with a 13 year old in the house, I know he would lean toward the latter! You should see the entire house, we have decor everywhere! hee hee The above is only a fraction of what was contained inside the 5 big boxes Tom brought up from the basement! (You will just have to come out for a visit to see the rest! :-)

It's been a busy week with school conferences,(everyone is doing well, whew!) guitar lessons, piano lessons, jog-a-thon training for Ashlyn, Girl Scout meetings, S'More's Girl Scout Event, riding lessons, Youth Group, work, and play! Tonight we watched the vice presidents debate, (more thoughts on that on the next blog!) We sat and watched our favorite "Survivor" show and tackled the usual dinner dishes, homework, and bedtime routine. Tomorrow is the first class of my "Enrichment Friday" group and I am really looking forward to working with all the children. You know I will post photos to keep you up to date! :-)

I speak with my mom each day, and this week she and her caregiver Gayle went out to my dad's "Air Johnson" hangar to bring home the last of his personal items. Fortunately, the gentleman using the hangar now is allowing the memorial, and my dad's special memorabilia to remain, as well as the "Air Johnson" name. I know my dad would be pleased. I will find some photos to scan of him flying his airplanes. I'd love to share them with you, as he loved being a pilot!

Grandma Billie is recovering nicely, and with my mom feeling well, it has been a good week indeed!
