it can't be 10 days!!!!

We have been busy already this fall.   We had a trip to Chicago to visit with friends we met in AZ.  This weekend be had Olivia and Jake here.  They are cute and sweet.  Olivia is a bit of a challenge.  She has a natural obsession to feel everything.   It could be good or sometimes messy.  We took them to paint a penquin yesterday and today we went to the Putnum.  We took them home about 4 p.m.   We really had intended to visit the pumpkin patch, but we have had rain, rain and more rain.  We have a little rain in the basement, but can't complain after what other people have gone through in TX.  

Tomorrow is swimming and a meeting tomorrow night.  Thurs. Dixie and I are starting WW again together.   I think I a little envious of Gary with his 40 lb. weight loss.  

Friday was cousin day at Sandi Rice's house, I did not attend.   I think I was just out of steam.  Dixie told me that she picked up Pauline and she told her that my brother had been physical and mentally abusive for 50 some years.  Wow my brain has a hard time wrapping that around it!!!  It is sad that the last chapter of their lives will be so unhappy and just plain awkward. 

I hope everyone has a good week....more later.
