Is it November Already???!!!

Yes I believe it is November already. Boy the month of October got away long before I got everything done I had on my list of too do's . Hopefully I will do better this month...
My allergies and hay fever are doing better and everyone else is doing better I think it seems all of us did not do so well during the weather change from summer to fall.
Mona has come through her surgery and her neck looks better.. I hated to tell her the dizzy spells would probably continue as she is just dizzy and the fuzzy thinking just her. Ha She is having more test done but at least she now gets blood to her brain, I guess one side of her neck was clogged pretty well.
Mother is doing well as far as holding her own.. She gets very tired and sometimes looks so pale. but she did not loose anymore weight this month and in fact we believe she gained a pound... she is at 107 now . She went with us to Amanda's for the Fall Supper and Costume Show.... other than being tired the next day I thought she did better than usual.. If I would only remember that when she goes anyplace to take her chair cushion and a pillow with her her ride and time there would be so much better..
Speaking of the party it was great fun all the tiny people were so cute and I don't know which costumes won prizes ( I did not and I thought I was a rather cute witch. ) but I loved Trent's pile of sheet because he had been on everybody's sheet list all year. and Amanda's whole family as the Wizard of OZ was great... too bad Tonya had to come as herself as the Wicked Witch, it looks like they could have found a costume and please T green skin is just not done anymore you must buy some make-up.

Tonight I had a close call with a bunch of killer oak leaves that dropped on my head as I sat in the hot tub . There I sat minding my own business just relaxing in the hot water when out of no where dropped a bunch of oak leaves on my head. Don't worry I killed them right away ..
Trapper Otila had taken two more raccoons out of the back yard.. She takes them five miles away to the park.. We are going to have to take food over to the park soon as they have so many of the critters from the back yard.. I bought a Scarecrow to put back there to scare them away not taking any bets on that working either. nothing else has.. Not human hair.... Deer repellent...mothballs, blood meal (although my plants liked that) Hot sauce. or any of the other things that I read about.. and tried.. Wanted to pick up some coffee grounds from Starbucks to put in the garden but was afraid I would then have little animals wire on caffeine.
Have been hearing from a few of you and that is real good . I share pictures and messages with Mother and it makes her happy to hear about what everyone is doing. I try to pass on new address etc to keep everyone up to date.. Now if all those address would just put thereselves on cards I could send Christmas cards to everyone..
Speaking of the Holidays The annual Thanksgiving Dinner is at Kokomo this year I'm sure more details will be coming soon if not just show up at Mona's church Thursday afternoon for great food and fellowship.
I think I will do something around Christmas how about Cookies and TEA and a visit. I'll let you all know which day.. or days.. In fact you don't have to wait for an invite the tea is always here and with Mother around there are always cupcakes or cookies.. So just drop in any time If you want more that cookies and tea give me an hours notice. and I'll cook.. I need to have someone over as mother wants me to bake pies and I can't eat them all myself . She's wanting pecan pies and I bought everything for them so will have to get busy. I have a pretty good wheat free pie crust recipe but of course she wants the regular but I think I will make me at least one pie wheat free. Of course if there are any other pies you have been wanting let me know I love to bake pies... or cakes or cookies .
Love you all and Happy Fall,
Clea
