I am a great grandmother again!


The most terrific news came this week - my grandson Marc and his wife, Maggie, have a new son, Joseph Ray. All are doing well, and this makes me a great grandmother several times over! I will see pictures of him soon. The entire clan is gathering in Boulder for Thanksgiving and I am promised many pictures from this event.

Fall truly is in the air. The leaves continue to be red and yellow - even those right outside my window. The kids at the Montessori school across the street from where I live came over dressed in costume for Halloween. They are so cute and fun to see. My understanding is that they will be back on Halloween for their candy!

Much of the rain has returned here - it can be dreary but I know it makes the spring and summer blossoms so beautiful.

Autumn Colors


The colors of autumn are really around. The leaves are rapidly turning and I am enjoying them every day. This picture is taken stepping out of the front door of my residence. As you will note, paramedics reside just across the street from us, a welcome location that has been used several times by people at my residence.

I am well and really looking forward to the arrival of another great grandchild! Won't be long now!

Fall is here!


From this picture you begin to get a sense of the fall leaves in my area. They are beginning to drop as well as turn fall colors. This after a good several weeks of great summer weather in September! La Nina keeps this area cooler and wetter while some of you have had extra hot and dry to contend with! Put it this way - this isn't Tucson!

I had a nice visit with all 3 of my sons today, Randy & Ken by phone, Doug (& Betty) in person. Things are beginning to look like Halloween here and the Montessori kids from across the street will be visiting us in their costumes soon!

A visit from one of my out of town sons


I have had a wonderful visit from Carol and Ken this weekend. After two scrumptious Pumpkin Lattes and fun chats, I have wonderful thoughts about their visit. Here is a picture of Ken with me at my residence.

We talked about the upcoming birth of my second great grandson and also how nice it will be to see pictures of him soon. The leaves are looking like fall is in the air. We hope you all enjoy your fall where you may be too.
