I love October

I read a book about calendars this week to first graders.  It was an old book I had rescued from someone's to get rid of pile at school a while back.  It's a bit dated, but has a sing song rhyme about days, months and seasons that kids always seem to like.  Anyways, one of the lines says that we always like the month our birthday is in best.  I don't know if that's always true, since the summer months are pretty dear, but I have always liked October too.  I saw this ad today that I thought was pretty cool, with colored leaves made out of M&M's.  I do love both of them.

Last weekend Jessica and I drove to BRF to go to the Varsity Football game Friday night.  However, Kjell wasn't able to play because of some MCL and ligament damage he received at a practice.  We still went to the game with Eric and Ramie and spent an hour downtown Saturday at Octoberfest listening to the band, which Kjell and Rikka played in, play some selections.  We toured the small quaint brewery next door and bought a pomegranite hard lemonade that was very tasty!  After I took this picture, I stood by my Dad and he showed me the text from Dan about Heidi recuperating from her ankle surgery.  I knew she had sprained it, but WOW, she really did it good!!  You could say that things come in 3's because our dog Ole had ACL surgery on his right back leg and it has been a miserable 2 weeks with a cone on his head and limited movement.  I'm thinking about my dear sister though because I'm sure she loves long walks in October, and she'll have to wait for 2012 to enjoy one!  Here's to healing!!
