Bobby wanted to take a ride and we met him at Sheetz then rode to Thomasville for ice cream. At the end of the day, we enjoyed some time at the fire pit and I did some knitting. 10/6/23

Mark took me to Ruby Tuesday for my birthday supper and then to dairi-O. 10/8/23

More and More tomatoes! I think the plants are indestructible! 10/10/23

The cool weather brought on the changing colors of the leaves. I love Fall! 10/13/23

Journaling right: October takes us to the leaders conference sponsored by Shepherds Church in Cary, NC. Bro. Dale is the one who first told Tim and me about the conference. Mark enjoys it now!

There are 5 couples, including Mark and I, who attend (pictured left): Terri and David Morris, Dale and Juanita Wallace (unfortunately, Juanita couldn’t come this year), Bobby and Joy Smith.

Pictured below, left to right: Diane and Ken Hansard, Joy and Bobby Smith, Mark and me. We try to gather and eat supper together where we can enjoy a time of fellowship. It is a wonderfully busy couple of days. 10/16 - 10/18/23

We spent several days in Alabama with my son, Michael and DIL, Jessica. We always have a great visit with them, broken bodies and all! I broke my wrist and got an L1 compression fracture as souvenirs!

We have a hawk that hangs out in our backyard. I’m not sure what critter(s) it is keeping an eye on. It might be the neighbor’s chickens. 10/25/23
