Beautiful Weather and The Beach

John was home for the last week and we had decided

to take a trip to the beach. Since Myrtle Beach is

only about 4 1/2 hours away that's where we headed.

We stayed at Pirateland again, we like it there since

we are practically camping on the beach, only a

couple of steps and there you are.

The weather was beautiful. The temps were

in the 80's and the night were cool, but not cold.

We took walks along the beach and even found a few

more shell for the collection.

Prefect weather for camping.

It is so nice to have John home for more than just

a weekend. We enjoyed ourselves and hated to

see the week end.

Next trip though is to Fla. to the condo, this next month.

Hopefully the weather will still be just as nice there.

Fall is here!!

I just love the Fall!!

It's not to hot and not to cold. All the leaves start to turn their

beautiful colors and just brighten the world.

This last couple of weeks we were able to make a trip to

Pigeon Forge and do a little hiking and have some time with

part of the family. John III met us at the cabin and John and

Mary were already there and extended their stay while we

were there so we had a good time together. We went up to Andrews

Bald and went on that hike, needless to say there were a

couple of us that needed to rest more than others.

We of course played cards and had some chicken on the grill.

The leaves had not started changing as of that time. So that means

we'll just have to go back soon.

I was able to go up to Chicago and spend some time with John,

as we were going camping the next weekend in Indiana, at

Oaubache State Park. It is a nice park. We did some more hiking

and had way to much food.

After leaving there on Sunday we drove down to Cincinnati and

then the next day I was off to Ky., to visit my Mom. I got to visit for

about a week, which was nice since I don't get there as often as I would

like. I was able ot go and visit my Aunt and Uncle (who will be 103 years old

this Dec.)

I was also able to see Grandma Chasteen who isn't doing very well

right now, but our prayers are with her. We love her very much.

Also visited with Mary and Ronald. Ronald we hope you are feeling

better soon.

Now it's time to get busy and get the Fall/Halloween decorations

out and get some of the leaves mowed up, then just enjoy the

beautiful weather, before it does turn cold.
