Snow!

My husband and I drove to Fulton yesterday. We enjoyed dinner at Brooklyn Pizza and seeing some Christmas lights. Not long after we returned home, my husband says it is snowing. At first it is light then it really picked up!
Now we have falling leaves along with snow! Not something we see very often in MO but it does happen. Made for a beautiful drive to Columbia this morning. I love snow but these cold temperatures normally don't hit until late December. I do love snow but I was still trying to enjoy Fall with the warm days and cold nights. Now it is just Cold!

Beautiful leaves and snow in Columbia

Welcome October

I haven't been on here much lately. I lost my dad a little over a week ago. I cant say i did not know it was coming. He hadn't been himself, slept most of the day. He didn't play golf, go to bridge club or travel.
My dad was the most important man in my life. He taught me how a wife should be treated. He liked my husband and was glad I finally found a nice guy he approved of.
These last few months my dad was in the hospital in Jefferson City and we moved him, right before his 81st birthday to St Louis University Hospital. There they found 2 blockages. The surgery was successful but dads recovery was not.
My mom sat by my dad's side for 6 weeks straight. I drove back and forth on my days off to spend as much time with him as I could.
I lost my grandma in January this year and my dad last moth, the day before my husbands 58th birthday. This has not been a good year for my family.

Ever wonder where they are going?

First snowfall

We have our first snowfall in Missouri and it was early followed by some serious cold temperatures. I love snow but I have to admit, this is way too early for me. I took my grandson out with me to check out the snow. He is almost 2 and wasn't sure what to think of the white stuff on his boots but he enjoyed getting outside for a short walk with Grandma.

October

You all know the Christmas Song, It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year? Well that song fits October for me. I love Fall. We will be camping later this month and I'm beyond ready to go.The leaves are starting to change in my area.
