Update on Commenting Problems

 In my last blog post, I mentioned that I am having problems posting comments on some of your blogs.  Well, this week I found the time to try and figure out the problem.  After much searching, reworking some things and becoming so frustrated that "naughty" words in both English and Spanish were yelled at the computer, I finally got comment posts working on all but one blog.  I am still working on that one.  I think I know the problem but we will see.

October Begins...

Dentist annual checkup-I am fine but B has some problems with his dentures.  We need to go back at the end of the month for work on them to be done.

We went on our annual trip to the Keeweenaw.  This is in the northern most part of the Upper Peninsula.  It is about a 3 hour trip but it is worth it for the beautiful colors of Fall.

 

 

 

B and I decided to take everything off the back deck.  Most everything was removed and put in the garage for the season.  However, since the umbrella table and couch have become too heavy to move on our own, we elected to leave them on the deck covered in a tarp for the winter.  All that is left to do is the front deck but we are going to work on this in the next week or so. 

Saturday was the hottest day for October.  It got to 86 degrees here!  Amazing!  However, our house was nice and cool so B decided to paint the ceiling in the guest bedroom so we would be ready to put the flooring down in two weeks.  The ceiling turned out nice but the room is in chaos and that will probably drive me crazy until we get the flooring in and I can straighten it up.

*Message to Jackie and Maebeme and others.  I want to let you know that I do read your blogs every day and enjoy them alot.  However, for some reason, I cannot get my comments on your blogs to post.  So I thought I would let you know here that I appreciate your blogs and the posts you share.

That's a Wrap for September!

The last week of September turned out to be busy as usual.  It's that time of year when most of the chores were to prepare for Fall/Winter.  But B and I did take some time to do some fun things as well.

We visited a new Farmer's market that opened near us and found some wonderfully tasty fruit.  We splurged on peaches, plums, tomatoes, bananas, and grapes.  The price was right and the tastes were delicious.  We love farmer's markets. 

I brought in a number of plants that had been on my front and back decks over the spring and summer.  I am hoping I can keep them going over the winter in the house but one never knows.

B and I are going to be putting new flooring in the guest room.  To do that we needed to pull up the old carpeting and pad. We decided to do it now because we have trash pickup guys coming with their big truck to clean out our garage and we wanted them to take the old carpeting and pad at the same time.

I got my monthly B12 shot and afterwards B took me to a used book sale at our local library.  I came out with 3 books and B picked up 3 for a total of $7.  I love used book sales.

Sunday was my Sister's birthday (no ages here, I promised) and we laughed over memories of our mom telling us every year how old we could be so she could be younger than she was on her birthday.

I have always looked at September as being bad and good.  Bad in that it will soon be the beginning of the cold months, the long cold months here in the UP and I never look forward to that. However, the good side of the end of September is the beginning of October...October is my birthday month!!
