Like Nathan, end of a nice week

Hi everyone. We moved along from day to day this week. Wish we had some rain like Nathan, but at least it is somewhat cooler and not so hot. On Friday, it was foggy all day. I got my stiches out (5 on my left side and 4 on my right shoulder) from the minor skin surgery last week, where Dr. Fishman removed two cysts that were slowly getting bigger and bigger. No real problem, but I am glad they are now gone.

Friday we went with the Keeps and Roldans to our last play of the season at Hancock. It was Dames at Sea and was just so much fun and beautiful. It was the story of six actors in a play, but all done with dancing and music. It was just great. If you have every heard of 42nd Street play on Broadway, it is somewhat like it, but not so much on a grand scale.

This week was Brookes birthday, so we were able to help with the children last night (Saturday) while Brooke and Joe went to the movie. We always enjoy having them over. Joe and Maggie are still excited about their school, now in the 2nd week. Harry is all concerned about getting his costume ready for Halloween and Charlie is just enjoying life with everything. I have enclosed two pictures from last night. We have the various puzzles in a corner of the living room. He was walking around, saw two of the small box puzzles, got them out by himself and as you can see was working at the table by himself. All of this was alone and without any help. Joe III states that he can now put the "faces" together, but needs help on the rest. He puts all of us to shame.

Glad that Nathan and Kate could get some garden rewards and I am always happy when Nathan is putting up his vegetables and fruits. Our one tomatoe plant has about 7 tomatoes and everytime Harry comes over, he runs out to see if they are turning red yet. One is almost there and he is excited.

Well, everyone joy life...we are.

Love Dad and Mom
