Nothing unusual has happened this “reporting” period, and that’s generally a good thing. We continue with everyday life, playing pickleball and golf. Fall this year has been really nice, weather wise, and reminds us of the falls of our childhood when everything was near perfect. Kay did travel to Kansas to reconnect with a couple of ladies with whom she worked, and they had a really good time; friends are priceless.

The next couple of months will be busy with some more short trips, decorating for the Christmas holidays (yes, it’s near that time again), gift shopping and wrapping, food preparation, and coping with the rushed and frenzied life that accompanies the holidays—and the depression and coping that many people experience.

A few butterflies are still flitting about, and these were photographed in our back yard on October 23.
