~Fall Is Startin~ :-(

I do believe fall has started... You can feel it... It was

really cool this morning, down in the 40's.. I love the

fall, but it seems as though summer has just flown by.

The time is going so fast its amazing.. Mark has been

here a week already and it seems only yesterday I

found them... yet its been over a year now.. Mark is

such a sweet guy and so much like his GORGEOUS
"Mum" as he calls me, I am so not used to it that

sometimes it catches me off guard and I don't

answer, I'm so used to Gran ! :-) Plus the last one to

call me Mom or Mother, was Kimmie, bless her heart.

I miss her... Kelli's mom..she died in '89...
Mark took my camera yesterday and went for a

walk and came back with some great photos of the

bigger of the 2 lakes here, Palmer Lake.. which we

find pretty neat since that's his last name ! Even

has a street named that.. :-) He found a nice spot

to take pictures of it.. He did good. Well its easy

to take nice photos of a pretty place... :-)
He spotted some trees that are already changing

too.. I noticed over by Carls one of his maples, up

at the top is changing already, mine probly is too,

but I cant see the top of it :-) Not from inside

here anyway...
Today I made meat pie.. Mark being from the UK

knows what a pasty is.. this is just a version of it,

just put into a pan with the crust on top.. Over the

week end hes going to make a pizza for us.. Yesterday

Mark made some potato pancakes and Swiss steak, I

ate the pancake first saying "MMM" after every bite..

Hes a good cook, and LIKES to cook :-) They say the

apple doesn't fall far from the tree :-) I wish Richard

could be here too. I sure would enjoy that... Ive not

heard from him since mothers day which its been quite

awhile.. . When hes ready he will write I hope.. I AM

hoping he will come to see Mark... They havent seen

each other in a few years.. Richard and their Dad are

welcome to come here to see Mark, and I hope they

will :-)
Time to post this and get something done today.. I

still try to stay busy, my arms have been aching so

bad lately, right now, just from this short bit of

writing theyre throbbing from just above the elbow

to the tips of my fingers, which 3 of them are sound

asleep.. :-) my body parts sleep more than I do :-)

WARNING TIME :-) "I shall return!!" :-)

Y'all have a good one now , Y'hear? luv ya and thanks!
Always, Lois ****


"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you Friend.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
