I FELT ENCOURAGED

 SHIMMERS ON OUR PARK'S POND THIS AFTERNOON

Probably most RV folks have heard the announcement by now about the Canada/U.S. border opening in early November.  That is, 'for those people who have had their two Covid vaccinations and can prove it if asked'.  The border opening is especially good news for all Canadians whether they are RV folks or not.  Just the simple fact of having the border open again perks me up and gives me a good feeling.  And yes, I have had both my Covid shots.  At least now we have the option of going south which we haven't had for over a year and a half.  And, that of course immediately brings up the question....what will Kelly and I do.  Well, first and foremost I am not going to get myself too excited about it.  As it stands right now there are a number of uncertain roadblocks in the way for us to head south.  Not that it's impossible, just not probable at this time.  So, I will leave it at that and we will just let the cards fall where they may.  This whole winter travel topic is still a one day at a time thing for us............

THIS CORNFIELD HAS BEEN HARVESTED AND THESE WAGONS ARE LOADED WITH CORN AND READY TO BE TOWED TO THE FARM

A grey cloudy morning led to a bright sunny blue sky afternoon so with only a couple photos under my belt in the morning I was able to take a few more this afternoon when Pheebs and I took a walk around our Park's pond.

I'm in the process of winterizing our rig and it is going well despite one little misstep.  Pumping the plumbing anti-freeze into the lines I had forgotten to make sure the outside shower nozzle located in a rear bin was closed.  I pumped about a third of the anti-freeze into the bin.  Luckily, there weren't many things in the bin and I was able to easily mop it up with a sponge.  But I'm gonna need to get me some more anti-freeze now.    

 IF YOU LOOK CLOSE YOU CAN SEE SOME PHEEBER BUNS DISAPPEARING INTO A SMALL WOODS ACROSS THE ROAD FROMM OUR PLACE

 THIS WAS ONCE THE ENTRANCE TO OUR PINE TREE TRAIL

 IS IT ANY WONDER I HAVE LOST ALL INTEREST IN WALKING HERE

Pheebs and I are doing fine.  For supper tonight I whipped up another 2 egg omelet complete with onions and sausage bits.  No cheese.  I've made well over a dozen omelets these past couple months and I'm still upright.  Pheebs is doing fine as well except she is losing her hearing.  She can't hear me anymore if I talk in my normal soft tone voice and when we temporarily became separated in the woods a couple months ago I'm sure now she couldn't hear me calling her.  Other than that she's doing fine.  My furry little shadow just turned 12 last week.

SNOOZING IN MOM'S CHAIR

Kelly phoned tonight and we chatted for about an hour.  So nice to hear her voice.  We talked about the border opening up and possible winter travels.  I felt encouraged. 

 TONIGHT'S HALF MOON

GROANER'S CORNER:((     Linda was with her mother while her older sister was being examined by a dentist. Linda kept herself busy playing with toys in the waiting room until she noticed that her mom was resting, her eyes closed.  With about six other patients waiting, Linda marched up to her mother, looked her straight in the face and shook her shoulder.  "Mommy," she yelled, "wake up! This is not church!"
