AC

sorry to hear about the flu bugs!

My daughter gets them twice ............. her son brings them home from daycare, and her husband brings a different lot home form the high school where he teaches

Daughter and grandson were here the first week of October ................ it poured with rain for most of their visit, but it cleared up on Thursday the 3rd ..............

.............. and there was new snow on the tops of all the North Shore mountains :-S

Pretty to look at, but it felt a little early to me :-)


Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Sylvia

Same as you, celebrate on the day only....

Weather now deciding to be decent, I can actually see the sun! LOL
Hope it stays sunny....Might help with all the flu & cold bugs that have
hit us this past week. Methinks our 2 grand girls packed the bugs home from Kindergarten...No hard frosts yet, but there is fresh snow high up on our mountains. Trying really hard to get shot of a lingering head cold.

Hi AC

It just does not seem right to me to celebrate on Sunday, or even Saturday!

It has to be on THE day :-D

How was your weather ...........
