Saturday, October 13th



This morning was a bit misty, but not raining - just made everything look a bit hazy. By ten o'clock or so, the mist had been driven off by some bright sunshine. This photo on the left was taken around 8:00 AM when I went for an early morning walk.

B. and I went for our flu shots last Saturday. Ironically, the day after the flu shot, I woke up with the worst cold - and spent the next 3 days in bed! Today, I went out to get groceries and it was a treat, so nice to be outside again and feeling well. :)

B. has been taking some classes this fall - mosaics, fall walks, Spanish. The mosaic class is over and B. has a fine piece completed, a picture of our cat Zoe. The walks and the Spanish class continue. I signed up for very few classes this fall - the tofu one I wrote of in an earlier blog, and a tempeh cooking class sometime in November. I purposely didn't want to schedule much so that I could spend whatever extra time I have working on family history. My current project is about my family in the WWII years. I have letters from a couple of my uncles (both of whom were in the service in the 1940's) and also letters from one of my aunts. So I have views of what it was like in the army and also on the home front. It's been very interesting so far and I still have another 30 - 40 letters to type up. Then I'll have to go through the family photos and see what I can find that corresponds to the war years. This particular project was triggered by the tv show: Ken Burns' "The War" which I and a number of my siblings have been watching.

It's a lovely fall day and I'm cooking applesauce. Maybe next week it'll be time for some apple pies and Indian pudding.
