As I posted earlier the flu or better known as "Montazuma's Revenge" swept thru our family. For what ever reason I am still having a very upset stomach. It makes it hard to get motivated for much of anything other than a hot water bottle on the couch. It has been a week and most of us are on the mend. Olivia took the time to start our DEEP Fall cleaning and washed the walls, doors, baseboards, pitures and knickknacks in the girls room, upstairs hall, stairway, livingroom and dining room then she decorated beautifully for Fall. I will try yo get pictures tomorrow. She has quite the knack for decorting!

GREAT BIG NEWS: ROY IS OFFICIALLY moved over here for GOOD! YEAH! Don't ask how it feels I'm still not sure yet. When we get past the 2 week point it may start to really hit all of us! He starts his new job down at the local feed store on Monday. This will be very different for him but I hope it is a blessing for all involved.

We have had visitors from Cottage Grove this past week. My precious Aunt Carol & Uncle Tom. WHat a story and a legacy of Faith they have. We all enjoyed them so very much. This will probablly be the one and only time he comes over and sees our place as he is in very bad health and it is hard for him to get around. We are expecting some very dear friends from Medford tomorrow. They are planning on helping Roy get a few things done around here before he starts work. Then we have Micah's G-parents coming the next weekend. Our October has begun with a bang!

Olivia & I need to go pick apples Thurs. or Fri. I still need to can some more applesauce and dry some. I had hoped to do corn this year but it will probably not happen.  I better go the kids are all home from school and tonight is Wonderful Wednesday.

Blessings,
