Getting colder in Texas

Weather can be bad for Winter Texan's

Have to dress warmer for riding in their open air carriers.

Early Christmas

Kids at Church

Matt, Kristi and Cole

We are still wondering if Gayla Slept in her cap?

Ahh I think I have one like this already?

Got to be more than one in there?

Man if I don't make some points this year I will hear about it!

I have Hoop out side and down stairs too. Even Grandma's picture is watching me.

Yes we did have our musical entertainers too!

Yes after a couple of $$$$ in piano lessons?

Grandpa's laid back!

Yes Grandma has been busy decorating the tables at church, at home and putting on the dog (that is turkey, ham, dressing,

green beans, veggie tray, plenty of potatoes for "Mercede" and pumpkin pie.

A Little more Fall

Not a lot of Leaves in yard yet.

But the kids were enjoying themselves.

Now to get your yard raked tell them how much fun it was when you were a kid to do that and then jump in to a big pile of leaves


Well she had the Idea but that makes for a hard landing that few leaves!

Oh well you still can have fun with just a few leaves?

Fall Colors in and around St Joe

Nodaway Island Area

Honey Creek North West of St Joseph

Krug Park was hard to get a picture there with out some one in it (seems like all shutter bugs were out?)

Top of Krug Park

Corby Pond (shame the water is not clear) is a place for fishing but I do not think I would eat one from here?

Road Trip 2009

This Post Office is no longer in use and on way home heard there was a grass fire at Livermore and was 50% controlled on Oct. 2

Big lake in the national park.

Wanted to eat here but when I open the door was only a bar. And we were starving.

This Post office opened in 1903 and still in use took picture in side was neat the brass letter boxes were shinier than one could believe..

The Salmon River in Idaho

Viola in the Devils Garden, (Moon Craters) N. P. out side of Arco, Idaho

This was at Arco. I may have been able to afford the house but not the land.

Moon Craters Volcanic Rock with (looks like frost or snow spots) but was Dwarf

Buckwheat. The temp here can reach 150 Degrees in the summer. There was a camp ground there all so. Any one for camping?

Viola at Flaming Gorge, Green River, Wy.

This Antelope was right beside the Van and we did not notice at the time to get camera. Viola was looking at map and I was looking at the bad road we were getting on.

Red Feather Lakes

At Chambers Lake 9000 ft +

Ahh Yes a good time to use an Out House that is unheated!

Brings back memories.

Had gotten snow that morning up to 3 inches above this altitude.

All is quiet at Kristi and Matt's

Been Foggy Mornings before Cole heads to School

T-Bone gets a lot of Sleep - but has to be near!

But as we go out the door we hear a FLOP in the little pool.

I can see why this Spring Frog is attracted to this small pool and not the lake near by!

If you turn the lights on at night he will have a good supply of Bugs.

.

Warm up before the Big Game - Mo. versus Ill.

Touch Down?

No Grandma just caught it.

Hey she caught another one!

High one for Cole

Go for it Cole my arm will not last too long! Had Thrown a bunch earlier and I know where all the Joints are!

Yep Grandma threw it a little short. Know Cole will be in good shape for the game but Grandma and Grandpa will be looking for the Ben Gay for pain relief.
