Ozark's

Last weekend Bob and I were invited to the Ozark's. We stayed in a cabin owned by an elder of our church. We had a wonderful time relaxing and hiking!! Fall colors were beautiful and we enjoyed the fellowship as well as the lessons taught from "Pilgrim's Progress"! Anyways, I've posted some pics of our time in the 'mountains'.

Above is the cabin we stayed in. The porch as you see
hangs off over the hill which runs down to the creek!

Long Time Forgotten.....

Yes, it has been sometime since I have put up a post. I have had a very busy last month and a half. At least I have been doing my best to stay busy. We took a trip a couple of weeks ago to visit Bob's family in Florida. His grandmother and aunt were down from Washington. It was wonderful seeing family and friends...well some of them. We went to the beach, for about 5 minutes. There was a 'red tide' so we all coughed, saw some dead fish, stupid tourist who didn't know better(they were in the water), took a couple of pictures and left. We mostly just sat around and I got sun burnt. It was good to see my niece and nephew's. We celebrated there birthday's while we were there, and Bob's grandma's 85th!!
Last weekend Bob and I participated in the Walk to D'Feet ALS. We had a nice time finding out what it was all about! We raised over $200, which is good considering I wasn't sure I'd raise that much! It was a beautiful day and our little 3 mile walk was quite enjoyable! Thanks to all who donated for this cause that is near and dear to my heart.

Here's are some pictures of our latest trip:

It's hard to believe that we were swimming earlier this month! It's freezing here now!!!

I can live to be as old and wise as she is.

Jesse(my cousin) and the pheasant he shot with Bob's gun!


Sam and his ever changing faces kept us all in

stitches! He is fun to be around but very independent.

October in Chicago!

Soldier Field. Home of the Chicago Bears.



The Field Museum, not to be confused with Soldier Field.
Meaning there are no football helmets in sight,
but there were tons of stuffed animals!




Lake Michigan. It was almost as good as the ocean!




"The big fountain"(seen at the beggining of the tv show Married with Children)
was quite the attraction! So is the beautiful city in the background.




Bob and I had our first deep dish Chicago style pizza at Gino's East.
One slice fills you up!




Our first snow fall of the year! We were so excited to see snow
that I must have taken 10 pictures of it, from the hotel room of course!
