It has been a touch month. Losing my Uncle Dale two weeks ago was tough for my Aunt Sue and Cousins Lynn and Brian. My dad took is pretty hard as well. He will never be the same. I am not saying he is totally changed but I already see a little change in him. He has yet to find another RV to take on the road. My Uncle Dale and Aunt Sue along with my parents traveled a lot over the past several years in their RV's. Now that Dale is not around my dad has lost a piece of that want. He is waiting until spring to decide if he wants another RV or maybe a new vehicle and travel the open road with mom and Aunt sue and stay in Cabins and hotels.
      Last week it actually snowed in LaPorte. Two days in a row while I was driving snow fell from the sky and it is not even Halloween yet. The snow did not stick around thank goodness.

I am looking forward to the new year and coming up with a new word for the year as well as a few personal goals.
thank you for reading about my life on pretty paper.

Oct 1st

Well today is October 1st and it is a dreary, overcast day. Not really rainy just a blah kinda day. I feel like fall is now settling in and letting me know those wonderfully happy sunny summer days are gone. Mother Nature is telling me to prepare for the winter. The leaves are changing and time is going by so fast. I will not have much of a chance to scrap today as I am working and then right after work the whole family is going out for Mathews 22nd birthday. It will be a fun time getting together with the boys. I love times like this.
