It's been a really hot and dry summer, so they say the leaves won't be as pretty this fall as they usually are. I always enjoy our walks around our neighborhood because we have so many beautiful trees....not so much this October! Well, except for this tree right outside our parking lot. It's a sugar maple and when the sun shines on it, it's absolutely beautiful...all green, gold, orange and red leaves - all at the same time. I hope you get to see a beautiful tree like this.

Sick kitty....we're not sure she's really sick, but we do know she doesn't feel well. When she does walk around her little tail is down, sure sign she's not well. We think it's probably a reaction to the smell from the new carpet. So she's spent the last two days on the futon and we've been taking turns trying to make her feel better. Poor Lucy

So I said to your papa/gump, the kids haven't seen a picture of us for a long time, do something so I can take a picture of you...and he says to me "this IS what I do"....so here's a picture of your papa/gump watching poker on ESPN...."this is what he does"

Not so exciting news for you, very exciting news for us! New carpet in the two bedrooms....it's been 11 years since we had new carpet and Lucy said she was really getting tired of throwing up on the old ones. On Sunday night we had to move everything...even dust bunnies out of the two bedrooms (except the bed) and then tonight we had to put it all back...yikes what a job. Poor Lucy had to spend the entire afternoon in the bathroom....she really was unhappy with me...but when we had the hardwood installed she tried to eat one of the guys and they said they wouldn't come back unless we locked her up...oh well, she survived and the installer survived and we have great new green carpet!

Today's the crazy day we have to remove everything from our two bedrooms so we can get new carpet laid tomorrow! Everything but the beds and dressers (without the drawers).....we have WAY too much stuff and I'm not sure if it will all go back in! Anyway, we decided we should fortify ourselves for this awesome task with a few Five Guys burgers and fries and, of course, peanuts. So glad you weren't here Christian...really good for us....not so much for you! So now we're home, with happy tummys and working like crazy to get this place ready for new carpet. Maybe I'll post pictures of the new stuff tomorrow.

Dinner and a movie night at the Don's. We had a great evening with friends having a good supper and then watching Godspell. This is a very old movie....made after a stage play from the 70s. It tells the story of the Gospels in song and story using New York City as a setting. If you haven't seen Godspell...rent it now and watch..the music is fun and the scenery and costumes are great!

Today is October 1st and the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's a very important challenge to find a cure for this terrible disease. There was an exhibit on Fountain Square today that had lots of information and pink ribbons every where and a bunch of decorated bras that were going to be auctioned off. This is a Nissan Z with a "car bra" and women were being asked to sign it as they went past. If you look carefully you can see my name and "Covington KY" below it. You may see lots of people running, walking or doing other activities to raise money for Breast Cancer research.....cheer loudly for them!
