Bob and I had a good week visiting Bob's parents and sister and niece in the warm (and rainy) south. (Hilton Head and Atlanta) On the way down, we stopped at Anna Ruth's new home! It is cozy and close to Carlie and Rick's in a nice neighborhood. She invited Eric A. and the Williams for dinner and we had a great time!

I stopped by Thicut today to check on things and all is good. The weather has been mild, so the house is not cold, no evidence of mice (or snakes!). The leaves are all down, but the wind has blown most off the yard and road so I guess we won't have to rake. YAY!
