Yesterday we welcomed yet another day to help Carol and Panteli finish up leftovers. This time Panteli has made stuffed peppers, looked beautiful and tasted delicious.,and Carol secret chocolate and peanut butter cookies.Both were delicious.
Sandra also was invited and arrived at the same time as us.from work.
.
We start the evening out on their sundeck toenjoy the freshness of the evening air.
Carol provides us with blankets to keep us warm as the evening progresses into a fall feeling,
Ben has had a long day with school and soccer practice and gym as well as his school work.
He has a rest before coming to join us.
Kim arrives last after a long trip home by bus and car
.Both face challenges this year.
Ben is playing a game on Saturday but it is down on Sacramento.
There will be three goalies wanting to playWe are joined as we move inside by Ben and Kim finishing up the little bit we left.
Dad and I had had a good day. Dad had his new teeth put in and now has a big smile.
I cut out two little patches of lawn. The flowers in the front are attacking a lot of bees, even people walking by have commented on this. The humming bird is a joy to watch with it's little wings going a mile a minute.
All in all it is so good to be together with our family and experience the warmth of their love along with good food and good stories and lots of laughter.

How lovely to have lots of goodness for the birds and bees. I adore hummingbirds. They are so graceful.
What an interesting blog Beth...you painted some interesting pictures with your words...from the elderly East Indian chap to the hummingbird and the dinner at Carol's and Panteli's home.
The hummingbirds have left for warmer places. I had a lovely walk today from my friend's home along the lake...we walked for an hour and a half along the lake when the water was very low. Right around a point which reaches out to Elk Island to Hidden Lake and then came back on the back road. it was almost two hours...what a gorgeous walk it was with a fresh breeze and large white caps. We saw lots of geese, pelicans and ducks and a flock of sandhill cranes flew overhead with their strange calls..it was magical. One of those days you want to put in your memory bank to bring out again when it is -40 in January. I am amazed at how strong I am getting now...with walking daily and Tai Chi daily. very grateful.
Tomorrow we are going to make a rub for two roasts and put the in a smoker. There will be roast beef for dinner on sunday!
I am glad to hear that Larry has new teeth...that always makes one feel really good.
It is getting later in the evening and I still have to do a drawing for a commission piece I have to do. It is due on sunday...talk about a tight deadline. but it is my fault. I should have been painting it earlier. I will get it done.
It is really cool in the mornings now...just 8 this morning. Nice, though. I like it!
Have a good sleep,
Love Nancy

Bees and hummingbirds are both good!
If they like your garden, then that's all that matters! Ha ha.
Love,

PS I continue to struggle along healthwise. Will go back to work on Monday but not sure if I will be able to last the full day.
