October 2017

October was a very busy month.  You and your brother left for Atlanta on Tuesday the 3rd to visit your grandmother and Les.  You returned on the 11th.  On the 12th Mr. Bob and I left for Seattle to celebrate his with his family.  We returned on the 16th.  Uncle Jeffrey arrived on the 18th and Marcus and Danielle arrived on the 19th.  On Saturday the 21st we celebrated Mr. Bob's 70th birthday at our house.

First Mr. Bob and I opened a couple of presents.

Then  I suggested we have a putting contest.

Then I put some money in #5 and whomever got a hole in one could keep the money.  Then others put money on other holes.

Uncle Jeffrey won!

Eventually some were eliminated.  It came down to me and Uncle Jeffrey.  I won!!

Then we all went to dinner at The All American Grill at DC Ranch.

Your brother stood up and sang happy birthday to Mr. Bob!!

Mr. Bob got a surprise cake for my birthday.

Then we gave Mr. Bob his cake.

I bought a special candle from China.  When you light the center candle it turns into a sparkler.  The other candles rotate around the center one.

The next day, Mr. Bob, Uncle Jeffrey and I went to brunch.  I was wearing the scarf that Marcus and Danielle got me for my birthday.

When you arrived you said to me some about "percolating".  Guess you got that from me.  Later when you learned we were going to down size you said something about if we got a smaller house, we wouldn't have room to party.

You had on your $180.00 sneakers on.  I should have taken a photo!!
