Nice Day for a Walk

It's hard to believe the weather is this nice in mid November. Ken and I have gotten back to going out on weekend walks the past few months, and lately we're enjoying the unusually pleasant late Fall weather. Mandy quickly got used to our long walks, and now starts leaping and bounding whenever she sees me putting on walking shoes. Here are a few pictures from 11/11 - 11/16 - 11/17

Flush with success from our Chicago medical trip, we were thinking we'd try to drive to the West Coast next week, and spend Thanksgiving with family. We had to put the kibosh on those tentative plans, as K realized her new biweekly iron I.V. would be coming due that week. We're thinking of trying again for the Christmas week. Once we start thinking about that, we get all excited, and start trying to figure out how to visit everyone we know out there, which becomes a daunting proposition. Too many good folks, and not enough time. Still, we're considering stopping in Sacramento, Arcata, Newport Beach, and Atascadero, before heading home, although we haven't even done a strawman schedule yet. The hectic ULA work schedule may still get in the way. Hoping for a positive outcome, K has her liquid oxygen supplier out looking for a 75 gallon supply tank, that will fit in the car more easily than the 100 gallon tank we have in the garage.

Halloween

The ever so frightening ghosts, goblins, princesses, witches, race car drivers, and cell phone bill made their appearance, took our donations of eyeballs, fingers, and other edible body parts, and faded back into the night. K added some fun new apparitions to the exterior - skeletons hanging from the light fixtures.
