It's been an uneventful Fall season due to the Corona Virus outbreak. You see, the widespread virus trumps everything else that's going on. Thank goodness for Mike, and our children, and our grandchildren, and my mother, and my siblings, and my close friends. And thank goodness for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and God's Plan of Happiness for all mankind. Those are the things that keep us going and keep us happy, even in a time of confusion, mixed messages, hopelessness in the world, and an uncertain future.
Sprinkle in some important events, service opportunities, meaningful experiences, and new toys to make life exciting! I'm grateful for my life and for the people I get to share it with. You know who you are!

We have so many homeless people on our busiest street corners. One day I filled brown paper bags with bottled water, an apple, granola, trail mix, crackers, fruit snacks, and Pop Tarts. I stored the bags in baskets and bins and kept a few in my car to give away whenever possible. I also gave a bunch of the bags to my girls and to my friend Patti Waseta to hand out. |

I always include food on my Blog because food tastes good and makes us happy! For dinner one night, I fried up the leftover small roasted potatoes, ribeye steak, and German sausage that we enjoyed with the Lemmon's the night before, and we ate more of the fresh salad I'd made. |

| Babysitting the Dunlap kids! I love how well these siblings get along. And Hudson is the BEST big brother to his two little sisters and is Beau's best buddy. I love all the Dunlaps' close relationships with each other! |
Our once healthy Austrian Pine evergreen started getting brown needles in sections this fall. Not sure if it's from lack of water or from a pest. If we lose this tree, we'll replace it with something more colorful.

Cool new ceiling fan we ordered for our living room
This one cools the room down fast and looks like a propeller!

We had a snow storm in October after having a long warm autumn!
My poor plants and shrubs got quite the shock and died within a few days |

My baby sister Jacqueline Babbit fixing Mom's patio door lock Jacquie's her "handy woman" and favorite daughter. She's amazing! She borrowed my reading glasses in the photo below. I adore her so much. |
