Cheers to Life's Unexpected Turns

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller

Fall

I had the chance to go for a 9 hour jeeping trip. The fall colrs were spectacular and that word doesn't even describe the beauty that nature exhibited.

I will post pictures later. I am so behind on pictures as I have been concentrating on getting my favorite ones enlarged and adding to my "wall" down at the coffee shop.

It does seem the longer you look at your pictures the worse they become. I have to shelve them and then come back a month or so later to see which ones I really like.

Our patio is finally done. We have patio furniture, ping-pong table and a dart board. Plus the b-q. At least we can enjoy it some before the snow falls.

The man was laid off. It has been a difficult time for him as he has never been without a job. Finacially we can make it by just tightening up the belt straps. It is just hard on him. He has struggled with depression ever since his dad died and then the selling of his folks home, my dad dying, sending his mom off to a far away state. Now his uncle is talking about not making it through the next 6 months so... He will have to grab onto the good Lord's hand. That is all any of us can do.

The "boys" are doing good. The oldest one is happy and so is his wife. The youngest is back in college getting his degree. I pray for them every day. I feel with the upheavel of this old world that the Lord might be coming soon. I don't want any to be lost.
