October's Getaway...Rick's Cafe...Chris' 31st Birthday...and Covid (It's Back)

 

 

 

The Getaway Car...

October's Getaway

to Eagle Creek

and the Surrounding Area

Including Rick's Cafe

Ralph the Travel
Bear

at The Baymont

 

Where we found

Cracker Barrel

Food

was much more enjoyable

casual

and in bed.

 

Who knew?

 

(...and don't even get me started about the wake-up call...) 

October's Scent provided by

Bath and Body

And leaf-peeping through

the twisty back-roads

through what

was surely

the PEAK

of October's Color.

It was just 

Wonderful!

 

(and so are you, John)

 

Home 

 

Which is also

getting to

LOOK

a lot like

FALL

 

Complete with 

Sofi's

Cozy CatNest

in front of "her heater" in what used to be

My Rocking Chair.

  

An early week

pop-in

by James

and a much needed hug

and a late week

early birthday celebration 

with Chris and Tina

Where I was treated to

a fly-tying seminar

before Tina arrived!

It is a neat

little contraption.

And amazing

how quickly he can

put together a wet or dry fly

that looks as good

or better

than anything you would

buy in a shoppe.

 

 

 

 

Hard to believe, as of today...my boys are all over 30.  Which must make me damn old, then!!!

And some not-so-wonderful news earlier this week...as despite all the hard work Idgy has put into her shoppe...and surviving the initial shut-down by Covid this year- it appears it may be shuttered for good after November.

And Covid.

Damn Covid, Anyway.

 

As we enter the Second Wave.

Going from 20 thousand cases a day in the US...to 40...then 50,000 a day...then 60,000 plus...and yesterday the daily total was over 70,000.

 Many states numbers doubled...Indiana included.

Sadly, right here, 10 months in...with most of us already suffering from Covid Fatigue.  Ready for it to be over...

For life to return more or less back-to-normal.

(...this is why more deaths occur during the Second Wave...than the first one...people just get lax...let their guard down...are so over it...)

This morning Tina and Lisa and I canceled our upcoming Sister's Day.

John and I, have put November and December's Adventures on hold and will be safely here at home together.

(...we didn't get old by being stupid...)

Obviously my Saturday After Thanksgiving Multi-Family Gathering is Canceled.

Also Halloween with James and Nicole and The Grands.

And even Christmas may have to arrive by delivery.

~sigh~

At least you still have us...

Well...as long as the cat treats hold out!

Enjoy the Weekend...and Stay Safe!!!
