Well it's Autumn...and 24 days before Black Friday

WHO SAID AUTUMN IS A TIME TO RELAX AND REFLECT ON THE YEAR! WE'RE SO BUSY PICKING UP LEAVES AND DIRECTING THE SORENSON AND MOORE FAMILIES WHERE TO RAKE NEXT ,THAT THERE IS NO TIME LEFT.

....AND WHO WAS IT THAT SAID STANDARD TIME IS GREAT? WE LOST THE EXTRA HOUR SLEEPING !

.... AND WAS IT O'BAMA OR CONGRESS THAT SAID THE RECESSION IS OVER?

IT REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL TIME OF YEAR ANYWAY. THREE CHEERS FOR OUR FOOD STORAGE AS WE RECOVER FROM EVERYTHING!.. EXCEPT BRITTNY AND OUR "GREAT GRANDSON'S VISIT LAST MONTH"! WE LOVED IT!

LOVE TO ALL....

GM AND GP

THANKS TO ALL THE FAMILY FOR THE LOVE, WELL WISHING

WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! (Unless one of you sent us $1,000 for the evening!)

All our love.................

A Lesson in Room Re-decoration without really trying!

Deciding to replace my 65 year old recliner residing in our family room has been a labor of love! First it was starting to get lumpy and I broke the lever arm with a swift grab which almost threw me out into the kitchen. Visitors started to avoid the area of the chair opting to sit in straight backs which were definitely more uncomfortable. Carol decided that the Salvation Army needed the old chair more than I did, so we went shopping for a nice chair. After 9 stores and 210 hours of testing chairs where I must confess I slept in many to really test them out, we hired a sleigh to deliver the chair and set it up. The chair is really too big for the room and currently blocks all the heat from the fireplace and can't be laid back as it hits the computer desk driving the computer crazy and out onto the patio. Well, Carol has had enough! She's hired a painter the paint the bathrooms and kitchen to match the color of the new wonder recliner; shopping for a new computer armoire for me to build during the next 4 months, and is thinking of replacing the lamps and carpeting since nothing matches anymore. She's having a good time, I know she is....so I'm going back outside and play in the snow....when it comes.
