BOO !!!

Beautiful fall day here. Went with Mom and Dad to put irises rhizomes on the graves of Mom' s grandparents and great-grandparents, Aunt Edith and Aunt Viola, etc. They have not been decorating all those graves the last few years and the irises are something will come up every year and are in bloom over Memorial Day. Also put some on our grandparents. Mom and Dad had put mums on their graves this year and I had put petunias on this past spring so they all looked nice.

Also put some bulbs in the ground over there. Dad has been wanting some tulips and daffodils for early spring. We got some crocus also.

Well tomorrow night is the big night. Lilly and Isaiah will be going trick or treating. Lilly will be a Princess and maybe Isaiah will be a puppy, ( he refuses to put on his costume). We even had Lilly put it on to show him, when I went back to trying to get him to put it on, he grabbed it, threw it in the corner behind his crib and said " No! Don't want to !" It is a big fleecy over the head deal, Kara is going to cut it down the front and put buttons on it, so it doesn't have to go over his head hoping that will help. Mom and Dad are coming over for the evening, and the kids will all come after they get done. We are having chili, cider and donuts, and a bonfire. Should be fun.

Yeah Wayne !!!!

Okay I got 2 of you on board and posting !!! Diane and Kevin lost some of the roof on their garage I guess. They are good on gas and food, and do have electricity back. Don't know about their internet service, will wait for her to post.

Did everyone survive okay?

Everyone must be okay in Florida, I haven't heard any news. I'll take some pictures this weekend of Hauk and Dakota. Clear amd sunny, a high of 53.

Kayla today

Yeah Diane !!!!!

this morning I got her on board and her post up. And be sure to sign up on the notify list so you will get an email when someone makes a post.
Picture of Kayla from last Sunday night when she was here. Her first overnight will be December 10, for Amanda's work Christmas party. Unless something comes up sooner. It is also Rick's work party, so Kara and Darren are keeping her for the evening and then to Grandma and Grandpa's for the night. !!!!!!

the storm is coming

It's the calm before the storm. Only a cat 2 at this time anyway, so not as bad as the 3's we had last year. We do have to bring in the pool furniture, tie down the trampoline and be prepared for power outages. It's really humid here so it'll be uncomfortable without a/c ! I would like some updated pictures of Hauk and Kayla please. I'll keep you posted during the next 48 hours if I have electricity. Love to all Diane

Raining here .....

and it is supposed to keep up for several days. And it sounds like Diane and family are in for some bad weather again. Mom and Dad are back from Jeanne and Stan's, have talked to them a couple of times but have not seen them. We wanted to go to Hillsdale this week-end, but probably not in the rain. Dad wanted to take some of his stuff up there ( ducks, geese, etc.) but we have not been able to find a Saturday to go for a couple of months, can you believe that ?????
Lilly was here last night for the evening, took her to Kiddy Club at church. It is quiet here tonight. Jess and Ella are sleeping and Rick is at bowling, and I am anxiously awaiting Survivor.
That's it for now ............

Mom and Dad have made it to Jeanne and Stan's. They plan on being back Wednesday night. We are in charge of the kitten they have been feeding with an eye dropper and now up to a bottle. I have put some soft food in a bowl, which she is eating, and a bottle a couple times a day to supplement. And best of all I gave her a litter box and she is using it. All the kids have left for this evening. Kara, Darren and Isaiah got back from Indiana and Ross, Amanda and Kayla came down. Mainly, I think they all came for my pizza dip !! Had that and chicken on the grill. Kayla weighs 8# 12 oz. now. She had lost quite a few ounces at first, she is now back on track. I think Amanda said she has gained 15 oz. in 15 days. Also drew names for the Christmas gift exchange here. Speaking of Christmas, talked to Diane today, and her and James are coming home for Christmas. December 26 to January 2 or so. Since she will be here, I may try to have another Tallman get-together. We haven't done that for a few years.
Hope you all have a good week,

Good Morning !

Lilly and Isaiah both spent the night. Got up early and Lilly is gone to a volleyball game (Ariana) And pretty soon Kara and Darren will be here to get Isaiah. They are going to Indiana today to Darren's folks. I'm going over to Mom and Dad's later today, I have some squash for them and a new Davis Farm hat. Have not seen Kayla. They did not come up Wednesday. We were going to go last night, but we are both getting over colds, so we didn't go. The sun is shining here today and I think about 65, so should be a good fall day. Rick and I have bowling tonight, ( every other Saturday @ 8:30, and then a surprise 40th party for the wife of one of his friends. Did you guys know I had a surprise party for Rick this summer for his 40th? I had one of the guys he works with take him golfing after work, and when they got back we were all there. It was good. Isaiah wants to play stickers right now, so that's it for now.

Hey, well we got Darren and Wayne signed up. Gave Wayne a short course in making posts. I have added a link where you can sign up to receive and email whenever someone makes a post. I think it will be great when we get used to posting to keep in touch. John can probably help Jeanne out and Diane, if you need help, I can give you the short course. In the meantime here are some pics from Wayne's

Overcast fall day here today. I think Ross, Amanda and Kayla are coming down tonight. Lilly will be there. We have her every Monday night and Wednesday night because Jess takes her to pre-school every Tuesday and Thursday. She goes to Pat Fetterman's at the Lutheran church. I believe Mom and Dad are going to Jeanne and Stan's on Sunday for a few days. Have not heard an update on how Stan is doing for a while. From the pictures you can see we went to the Corn Maize on Sunday. Really just let the kids play, did the hayride, and took pictures. We hope to plan an 'adult day' to actually do the maze and the 'Haunted Cornfield'. Except for Kara, who wants no part of the haunted cornfield. LOL ! I am trying to find blog photo albums for the pictures, so I will keep working on that, but here is one of Kayla I don't think I sent.

Fall Pics

New Idea

Hey gang ! Decided to give this try for communicating things that are going on here. You will be able to post your comments directly and I can post pics for you to see. I will start with some pics of this past week- end of pumpkin carving and the Corn Maize.
