FALL LEAVES









I took some pictures of our yard and fall in Wisconsin or at least my neighborhood. Then that night we had a big wind and it sounded like it was a big rain storm but it was just the leaves falling so at least half of the leaves that were on the trees are now in our yards. Leo had just raked them up and will be doing it again soon but first he must go fishing.... Why is it when the leaves are falling and the yard work needs to be done that its the best time to finally catch the big ones. LOL
Yesterday we got our flu shots and then grocery shopping and paying bills... a good day to get things finished as it was raining.
I wasn't going to watch the debates but we just had to,,,, haha have to know what the buzz is about. I sure do hope my guy wins..... it will be another sad 4 years if he doesn't I'm afraid. We haven't much longer to wait now thank goodness..... but waiting is better somehow then the other guy getting in........ oh boy.
Today is a cool sunny day.... the sun always makes it seem warmer so its a beautiful day... hope your day is nice today too

My New Lamp

I thought I would put a picture in of my new lamp.... I have been waiting for just the right time to get one like this.... been wanting one for a few years now. It's so pretty just sitting in the living room and looking at it... :>)
We went to the vets today to get our dogs weighed and they lost weight in the 2 weeks since they started their diet. Peaches lost .6 and Twinkie lost .4 we are so happy its working.... the dogs are already more active.... Peaches weighed 13 and Twinkie 11 and they are supposed to weigh only 8 the vet said so we are going to have healthy pets... maybe if I lost some weight the same could be said about me..... ya think?
Went to Walgreens to get my meds and they had a sign on the window that said they are giving flu shots daily.... how convient that is. I think we will cancel our apt at the doctor and get ours there. Medicare is paying so that is good.
We got a little yard work done today too. Its such a beautiful day and all the trees are so pretty. But in a few days it will seem like winter because the leaves will probably be fallen and it will be getting colder. It was so warm yesterday and today ...... we were so warm last night we had to turn our air on.... and tomorrow Leo will no doubt want to turn the heat on.... haha
Hope you are having a wonderful day

New Slippers


I got my new slippers and they fit perfect and match my light blue robe! easy on and easy off is what I like because my feet have a tendency to get too warm. I got them at Wal Mart and only $5...... I did well with those but I found a small tv I wanted but guess what they didn't have the small one so we left and Leo went to another wal mart to get one but they said it won't be in for at least a month so he got the next size. Just a 19" but set for the new tv what ever that is..... nice flat one. It's amazing how nice and small it is.
I'm watching the Packer game now..... It's a tough game because our quarterback has a sore arm..... Brett did well today. Sorta wish he was still here but then this gives Aaron a chance i guess.score is tied so far.... Hope we do better the second half
Hope your having a fun day...... Its kinda hot and humid here. Think I will go sit on the front porch and read a bit
