Well I have some catching up to do, I just could not get in the mood to edit pictures. Finally after James mentioned I had not updated my blog I decided I better do it before I hear from Pam and Barry about it.

I have been having a great time with the new helicopter flying it around the yard and trying to blow leaves off the roof. I get in at least a flight a day if it is not raining. The GPS function works great, for this picture I set the transmitter on the ground and used my phone to take the picture. The helicopter just hovered there until I was done.
HalloweenJosie was our first trick or treater, she is sure cute.
Jordon and Jacob were next, and they headed right for their favorite toys in the living room instead of getting a bag of goodies.
Jordon with the bag he picked out, I think we had five different designs.
Jacob got shy and didn't want to pose for a picture with his bag.
Bridget, Jillian and Tor were our last ones. Tor has had the TREX costume for three years and Rick said this is probably the last year.
Tor was able to pull his hands into the costume and eat candy inside. Then he went into the living room and did some push ups.
The only problem was he couldn't get up afterwards because of the costume so Bridget came over and helped him up. We made sure all the parents went home with bags of candy which worked out good because there were only three bags left over instead of eight. There is no way I need to eat that much.

We made a run to town today for wood pellets, mail and some groceries. The stops at the post office and 4 Corners went fine. It was when we made our stop at Cascade Select for groceries that things got interesting. We loaded the groceries into the Blazer and it would not start! I checked under the hood and things looked good, it turned over but would not fire. I called our towing and arranged for a tow home. Then I called James and he came up to take Vera and the groceries home. He came back to keep me company and it wasn't long until the tow arrived.
I got to ride in the roll back truck on the way home.
They unloaded it in front of the storage container and that is where it sat for several days until the rains quit.

They had an 80th birthday party for Steve at Papa Pete's tonight.
It was great having such a good turn out of family for an event again.
In this picture Steve is answering the questions of a quiz about him that they passed out. I was surprised that I got thirteen right, David was the winner with the most and James was the winner of the least right prize.
This is more of the family during the quiz answers.
We have a very competitive family and everyone enjoyed the quizzes.
This is Steve and Gabe, lots of family took pictures with Steve.
Steve is opening cards and gifts as his daughter Nancy watches. In the background is his daughter Jill. I didn't know who she was until I went over and introduced myself and had a nice visit with her and her husband. It turned out he has flown radio control so we had lots to talk about.
Debbie had picked up Jackie and Cora at the train depot this afternoon so they were able to come to the party. Cora was enjoying the merry go round.
This picture was taken by James, his turned out better that the ones I took.
Mik and James are in front of the poster with the things that happened in 1942. I had planned on getting a picture of it but forgot to. Desiree and Dianne did a great job of planning the party and it looked like everyone had a good time. Michelle counted over forty people before she lost track and gave up.

We went to breakfast at the Pancake House this morning with Debbie, Jacob, Jackie and Cora. Of course I forgot to take a picture. I had the Waffle Supreme with cinnamon apples and pecans my favorite. Debbie said she may try that the next time they go.

Election Day, we had already dropped our ballots off in the Castle Rock drop box. Freezing weather is in the forecast so I decided to put the faucet covers on. As I did them I realized I needed to drain the hose reels and put them away. I am glad I did as it got down to 26 that night.
