GETTING READY FOR FALL

Can you believe the last time I blogged was May 19th, Skye's Birthday. She is 36 and 1/2 now.

My how time flies.

It seems so much goes on and I get so mad at myself for not visiting my blog.

This last month has been challenging. My back went out the first of Sept or so and I haven't been the same since. I just went off pain medication yesterday and feel I can manage the pain. I have to because I just feel to weird on the meds. Pain levels have gone from 7-9 or 10 down to 2-4. I can live with that. Have had x-rays, a test in Duluth, many Dr. appts. and no results yet. Going to a Dr. in Duluth on the 24th to find out about my back. Enough of that.

What a fall we have had. No rain and that part is scary because of the fire danger but the burst of color is so beautiful.

I was with Sharon, Dot and Nancy last Monday through Friday. They got here Tue of last week just before Hilltoppers. We had about 30 out to our house for a Fish fry. Was fun.

Then we 4 gals took off for the "Crossing Border's Art Tour" from Duluth to Grand Portage. We stayed two nights at Lutsen Mountain Inn. It was a good time and we drove home Hwy. 1 through Ely and stopped in at the Wolf Center. The girls left Friday morning about 9am. I did nothing on Friday or Sat. Lazy - lazy - lazy.

I have had a super busy week - getting ready for our Fall Gathering at church. Worked at church 4 hours on Thurs, Friday and spent 7 hours there on Sat. the 8th.

DeDe I can't tell you how much I appreciated the Turquoise colored stone necklace with silver beads that sold at the silent auction, I don't know what it went for but the bidding started at $20 and we raised $250 at our silent auction. It was very nice and a big thank you to you DeDe for donating it. I want everyone to remember next year's fall silent auction. We won't host it but we always bring something.
