Hello All,We have been busy as usual in the month of October. Early in the month we had a chance to see "Burn After Reading" at the movies and "Made of Honor" at our “TGO Theater.”
Dave worked every Mon & Tues and occasionally on the weekend to fill in for someone.
The second week of the month we took a bus trip to see the fall foliage in Helen, Georgia and Chattanooga,TN. In Helen they celebrate Oktoberfest every day in October. German food, oompa-pa band, etc. They also had a quaint little village with shops. Then on to Dahlonega to pan for gold. After that we traveled on to Chattanooga to ride the train. It was a great trip but the trees really don’t change as much as Jersey or maybe they will later on. We met a couple on the bus that also met at Parent’s Without Partners in Massachusetts. There is a couple in Marge’s bowling league that also met at PWP many years ago. Small world! As you can see by the pics we had a carport put in the front of our house to keep the front part of our car & cart out of the sun & rain. The next to the last week in the month we went camping in Lake Okeechobee which is only a couple hours from our house. The whole weekend was paid for by the Giant Recreation World Gold Club we belong to, along with all the meals. They do this once a year after you have attended at least three camp outs. We really enjoy these little trips. In December we are going to Mount Dora for a 3 day trip and in February a Hillbilly Campout.
Our resort held two parties this month, “The Welcome Back Party" and the “Annual Halloween Party.” We decided to be Gypsies for the Halloween party.
As we follow the sports, both local & national, we find the Phillies & Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series. Would you believe Marge is routing for the Phillies and Dave is for the Tampa Bay Rays. She also still cheers for the Eagles and the Sixers. Dave is now a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan.
Our local football team is the Titusville Terriers they are soso with a 4W 2L season. We enjoy attending the games and get in for free (senior citizens). We can use our gold card to attend all activities and shows.
Marge’s eldest son Jeff turned 45 this month, her son Tom turned 44 and her daughter, Amy turned 40. She can’t believe she has children in their forties. Dave's two boys, both in Iraq, ran across each other in an army cafeteria. We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers for Gary & Brian.
As you can see by the news article from our local newsletter, Dave was the hero, “A night in shining armor."
The latest addition to the front of the house is our Carport................................
