Well I completed my crock pot apple butter and according to Pat it is good. I don't eat it so I can't tell if it is edible of not. LOL It wasn't too hard since it was in the crock pot. It cooked all night and then I put it in jars and hot sealed them today.
Colder and rainy here today. I guess we are supposed to have more indian summer next week. One of these days there won't be anymore warm days until Spring...so sad.
I have completed a few more craft items for the bazarre at Sacred Heart on Nov. 7.
Next weekend we do Christmas dinner with the family since we won't all be available on Christmas day. Seems it gets earlier and earlier since Mert and Bill go to Florida before Thanksgiving.
Stay warm everyone~

Took Mert to dinner on Friday. It was her and Bill's 41st wedding anniv. Bill is still at Autumn so we took her out. Nothing special...Bob Evans.
Not much going on this weekend. Pat and I went to Roscoe to Apple Butter on Sat. We paid $3 each to walk down and back up Whitewoman street. Didn't buy a thing. Guess I will make homemade applebutter this year...LOL.
Stopped off to see Bill. He is doing MUCH better. Saw Jacie while I was at Autumn. Was GREAT to see her. I miss the school gals so much!
The sun is shining today so that is a good thing. Supposed to warm up this week. I sure hope so!

Been a long week. FIL Bill had back surgery last Tuesday. Supposed to be in, overnight and home....NOT. He had complications with his heart rate and they had to keep him longer. Today Mert and Pat report he is much better. Maybe by the middle of the week he will be home.

Got a call from Sacred Heart the other day and I signed up for a table at their Christmas craft show. It is Nov. 1 from 10-2. I have got to get busy organizing my things and deciding what to make and take.

Ali's arthritis has been really bothering her. She is on meds and they seem to be helping somewhat. She's still eating, peeing and pooping so I guess she is ok. Just grouchie in her old age. Poor Brody just doesn't understand why she doesn't want to plan. :(

Everyone have a GREAt week!

Our neice Erica just announced that she and Dave are expecting in May. Porter just turned 1 and he will have a new brother or sister next spring. How exciting.

Grandpa Bill has his back surgery tomorrow afternoon in Zanesville. I am going down to sit with Mert while he has his procedure.

Pat and I made our first batch of chili for the fall season. Used some of the fresh frozen tomatoes I put up last month. The chili powder was a new bottle and it was very spicy. VERY good batch! YUMMO!!!

Had breakfast today with Diane Schlegel. Great to catch up with all that is going on in her world and the gifted program. Her daughters are all busy with differnt things. Jenny still struggling with her pain, Erin doing her internship and Amy off to volunteer in Samoa with the tsunami victims. How she keeps up with all of them is beyond me.

Hope everyone has enjoyed the fair. I have not gone out yet and probably won't unless Pat decides we need some fair food. LOL

I'm back in Ohio after a wonderful week in Florida with Jeremy and Mandi. It was a GREAT time. I guess I didn't realize how much I really missed them both until I got there and then it was time to leave too soon.
The last day I was there, Tues., they both had to work so I just hung out at the apt. with Nuttyman. Then that night we went to dinner at the Outback with Jeremy's boss Brian. Fabulous time! I am so much more relaxed now knowing that they are only 2hours away if we need them or they need us and they are so stinkin happy it is disgusting...LOL. No really, they are very happy and doing well.
Pat and the dogs were all happy to have me back. Pat is feeling better after the kidney stone incident. He even did all the laundry while I was gone...what a guy! :)
I am having lunch with Linda Clark today ...have much to catch up on. Massage tomorrow and then it is fair weekend. Doubt we will attend but who knows.
Those of you who are teaching....ENJOY THE FAIR BREAK....I KNOW you all need the time off. LOL
