Rose has another checkup on her eyes tomorrow. It will take sometime before she can tell how much the surgeries improved her eyesight to have her prescription glasses updated. Meanwhile, it's scary to ride with her at night.

We had a newsy email from Tmmy FeLLin in Olympia. The heavy rains and floofing have only caused them endless traffic. power outages, clogged drains, and bad hair days. Anna just returned from masseuse school in Florida and a visit with her fiance in Virginia. Bernie had been under the weather but was on the mend. Cyndi and family in Olympia are hosting family for Thanksgiving. Their Christmas will be at Sandi's in Portland. Bernie and Maudie plan to attend both.

Pete and Janet are settled in back in Arizona. They took the truck pulling their redneck guest house, the trailer back down there. Simone, Pete's GPS, got him on a one way street going the wrong way in traffic in Las Vegas enroute to Circus Circus. He said she thought they were in Reno.
Shirley got back from Chicago on Monday and Rose returned yesterday. I stayed in St. Louis over the weekend and Goldman and Maddog were my faithful helpers. Chris and Shelly spent the weekend at the lake house. Shelly had a teachers' conference at the Lodge.

I'm going to fly to Louisville next Monday and then ride back for Thanksgiving with Scott and family. Scott, Goldman and Mike Lynch [Maddog's brother] all turn 40 this month. They've been friends since kindergarten. Their friends are throeing a big party the evening after Thanksgiving. Rose, Shirley and I get to watch Brayden.
