NOVEMBER ALREADY!

BETTER BE READY FOR WINTER, ALL THE SUMMER SPECIAL SPOTS ARE NOW CLOSED. GOT IN ONE LAST TRIP TO THE BAKERY AND PUT ON A COUPLE EXTRA POUNDS TO HELP LAST THE WINTER. I WAS TO LATE IN THE DAY TO GET STICKY BUNS, SO HAD TO GO WITH PNUT BUTTER AND APPLE FRITTERS. GOT BACK AND GRAM CARROLL HAD MADE CHOCOLATE PIE AND COCONUT PIE. WOW, WHERE ARE MY BIGGER PANTS?

THAN THE SECOND PARTY AT THE EAGLES CLUB, LINDA AND I KEPT THE PIRATE THEME AND GRAM AND DICK WENT TO THE ROARING 20S. GRAM DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY SHE LOOKED IN BLACK HAIR, SO NO PIRATE ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

THAN MONDAY WE MADE THE LAST DAY TRIP AND HAD A FREE DINNER AT BIG BOY, GRAM WON AT THE HARVEST BALL, AND PLAYED OUR LAST DIME POKER GAME, WHEN WE GOT BACK. EVERYBODY SURE MISSED STEVE'S DIMES. HEEEHHEEEEE. SORRY STEVE, HOPE YOUR EARS WEREN'T BURNING! SPEAKING OF BURNING, THE LAST FIRE WAS SLOWLY COMING TO AN END AND THE SWANS WERE IN THE RIVER ENJOYING SOME CORN.

HAVE A SAFE TRIP MOM, GRAM, GREAT GRAM AND UNCLE DICK. ENJOY THE WARM WEATHER ON MARK UP ISLAND. NOW, WHERE DID I PUT MY LONG JOHNS?
