We are sorry for not keeping this updated. We have been spending to much time eating out. Working all most everyday on our geneology and making changes to our home.

Leaves

The trees have turned and their colors are covering the slow moving creek below the spillway.

Genealogy

For the past week we have been working on Judy's genealogy. We found that when you come to a standstill, just talk to friends that you have known for years and years or have worked with for years. One friend will give a name and that name leads to who you are searching for. We found that people we set near a ball games are doing genealogy on another side of our family. All we needed was someone to lead us to those people. Our son's company even employed people we were looking for; one son even work with people we were searching for; I even work with a man for 40 years that had information I needed. This world is becoming smaller and smaller when you work genealogy. The leafs and turning faster and faster now.

Last boat ride

It is that time of the year for our sons to remove their boats. Son Skip gave everyone one more ride as we headed for the ramp where our son-law Bart was ready to load the boats. Judy is standing next to the ramp to give directions. Judy's sister Elaine passed away Friday.

Sister

This week we spent time with Judy's sister Elaine Jones who is in MedCentral Hospital. Elaine's husband, Fred was the founder of "Jones Potato Chips".

About time to dry dock the boats

We went down to the lake to ride for the last time this year with our daughter Shelley and son Skip before they pull their boats out of the water for the winter. Shelley and Bart had friends, Tom and Brenda along for the day. We seen Gino Colace, an old friend on his boat chasing after us. Then our son Skip took us back to dock. You could not ask for a better day to finish off the boating season.

Bad or slow week with good times

For the pass two weeks we drove around the state looking at different water falls. We would like to add a pondless water falls to the area of the swimming pool that was filled in with dirt. High winds in the range of 70 mph hit our town. Power lines are down and we have been told that the power will be off for a week. Knowing that we drove to Celina, Ohio at the county fair grounds visited with Karen and Ernie Brown who are full time campers, Browns treated for lunch.
