Catch Up

My apologies, gentle readers, for going three weeks without posting. It's been a very busy time for us since coming back from our brief trip to Drummond.

We'll start with a picture of our "accidentally" coordinated Bears Sunday outfits--I put mine on first.

Next are a few shots of our drive up to Drummond, and the beautiful autumn scenery that greeted us.

Finally, some pix of our first full day there, unpotting flowers. And Dad getting some shots for MoMich.

More will be coming--don't know how soon.

Sox and Beyond

Saturday night we went to see the Sox take on the Indians.

The temperature was in the 40s, the wind was swirling, and it rained.

Good times!

Sunday afternoon, as we were leaving for brunch at Wishbone, I asked Lori, "Are you sure you want to wear blue jeans, a blue Bears shirt and a green jacket?"

"Why shouldn't I?" she responded.

Five Courses Outdoorses

On the night of my birthday, we went to Jimmy's, a very homey Italian place in Forest Park.

We got their date night special, which was an appetizer, two pasta dishes and dessert for about $30.

It was great, but it was too much food. So we brought half home in doggie bags, and had it again the next evening in the backyard.

Our five courses were (1) bread with olive oil and romano cheese, (2) deep fried mushrooms, (3) salad, (4) our respective pasta dishes, and (5) double chocolate cheesecake, which we shared.

And Harley made friends with our newest lawn ornament--he looks a bit jealous, I think.

Last Warm Day...

...for a while, anyway, The weather is supposed to turn cold and wet tonight, just in time for our Sox-Indians game tomorrow evening.

But I was outside with the animals enjoying the air today, and I thought I'd share that with you, loyal reader.

Goodbye Mimi

We went to Columbus for Mimi's funeral service.


It was sad, but we got to spend time with Boomer and Kaci and Shelley, Bob, Emily and Gran, so we had some good times, too.

The Wheels

A couple of weekends ago we walked up to a nearby record shop to her our friend Larae and her band, The Wheels, play at their CD release party.

There's a video clip of the band below.

Bye Bye Marlis and Glenn

We dropped by to see Marlis and Glenn on the night before they moved to KC.

We are going to miss them so very much.

Well, we'll miss Marlis.

We'll see Glenn every Monday evening as long as Monday Night Football is on.
