Perfect Day, October 1, 2010

Thank you October for bringing cooling breezes and a promise of the end of seemingly endless 90+ degree days! With the top down on the convertible, Jerry and I zipped around town running errands, picking up new glasses among others. On our way back home, Iroquois Park beckoned us with crunchy acorns and walnuts on the ground, crinkly leaves, and whispering wind. We had an invigorating walk then sat on a huge tree log to rest and plan another trip when snow starts falling. We're planning a cold weather picnic in a scraped clean, wooded area. We polished off the afternoon with a stop at Sister Bean's, a new coffee shop right across the road from the entrance to Iroquois Park. We thought our day was done but when we got home, there was a message waiting for Jerry from his brother Mike telling him about a 1970 Pleasure Ridge Park High School reunion this weekend. So, the two of them are meeting for this evening's activities at Mike Linnig's. And I plan to catch up on some reading for mine and Amanda's trip to Paris in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS!!!
