Our grand daughter Kim is off to the Grand Cayman Island but she will be back. My prayers go with her and we miss her already!The little birds are coming back to our little back yard now that it is getting colder. Every spring a new family is birthed in our bird house but then they fly away. We do hear their cheerful chirping in the trees. We take for granted a lot of things in nature like the songs of the birds.
On the prairies we were always so excited to see the first robin in the spring.
Then in the fall we would watch in amazment as the honking geese flew over head to migrate south. "One squadron after another."
The leaves that were so colourful are now falling off the trees. It will be time to rake all those leaves next thing we know. I like the changing seasons because we know that spring will bring back new leaves again.
So many things in our world is changing around us and Maybe that is why dad and I seem to like the sameness of our routine. We even enjoy watching the same programs on T.V. wondering if we have seen them or not. We wonder if we will be able to do some travelling because there are places we would love to go. Now the Grand Chayman is added to Melbourne Australia.
Right now Carol is at a conference in Harrison and she has invited us to visit. First dad has to go see Kay about his painful shoulders. She always seems to make him feel better. We get rid of one worry and pain and another just comes along to remind us we are still very much alive! !

And, the older we get the faster the changes seem to keep coming. I am so looking forward to Mary coming out at Christmas, but know in a blink of an eye the visit will just be one more memory.
