IT IS SPOOKY TO HAVE SNOW IN OCTOBER......

though not unusual!

We measured about 20 inches when it was over.

A LITTLE ISABEL TIME

With Ryan and Teri working so much on their new home, we

have got to spend lots of time with Isabel.

She is a pistol!

Just the right color and size, and they

can be worn as a scarf! Who knew? Ryan and Isabel at a Rockies game.
They won.............obviously this was taken a while ago.

FUN WITH RYAN AND ANDREW

Andrew and Ryan are keeping us busy while Mom, Dad and Mabel are

visiting Daniel, Anne and Beckett in Connecticut.

We went to the Zoo today.

and to the Ward Halloween Party, where Gramps

joined the parade with Buzz and one of the TMNT's.
Buzz is happy to see his Grammy come from behind
the fishing booth.

The wildlife experience proved to be no more wild

than what we have at home.

The boys seemed to be naturals at

climbing the giant spider web.........

Though Andrew said "I don't like it."

Of course the first thing we did was to build a huge fort on the

dining room table and added a few houses and tunnels for

good measure.

Ryan wanted to take a picture of me and I could not

get Andrew out of the fort for a photo op.

MEN DOING WHAT MEN DO

Of course this trip in August preceded John's month long journey with excruciating pain,

ending with neck surgery the first of October.

It was worth the view!

There was hanging on to the side of steep cliffs,
a little fishing.........good job Spencer.

and the eating of the fish.......I can't tell if that was a good thing?

Daniel was missed by the rest of the Grange men, and is

expected to show up next year!
