We are fortunate to have an exercise room in our building. Elder Millet and I get up at 6:30 and go walk for a mile or so. It's a good time to think, contemplate, and thank our Father in Heaven for his many blessings.


This little lady on the 4th floor almost always beats us up and is walking when we go down to exercise. She walks a little then leans on the rail to rest. She is very diligent.

At Family Home Evening we are talking about gratitude for our ancestors. We are to choose someone to talk about and share something with the group. I chose my mother and decided to make gingerbread boys. Marie helped with the recipe and Elder Millet did the frosting. Instead of red hots we added mini M&M's. They were so good that it took me back 55 years or more. Mother never failed to have gingerbread boys for each person in our classes for Valentine's Day. Now, with 5 children and 25-30 in each class that's a lot of cookies. On the day before the holiday we came home from school and found every surface in the house covered with cookies. What a great mom we had.

November 6 brought snow. The flakes were so big they came down in "families." What a beautiful sight. We were glad it did not last long.

A beautiful spot along the Chagrin River. The bank just fell away. We wondered if they had a fence at the top. We did not notice an ambulance down in the valley.

Beautiful fall tree right below our bedroom.
