Sunset - End of October

Kind of like Halloween Colors

" We could certainly slow the aging process down if it had to work its way through Congress." -- Will Rogers

Today Ken and Nanny are leaving us to live in Wickenburg. They will be back to visit from time to time, but their homestead is for sale and the move is pretty permanent. We will sure miss them being here, but even as we are doing in our lives, they are making a huge life change. Best of luck to you guys and go with happy spirits. I know you will find many fun adventures in your new place. You are leaving a void in our community.

Another Beautiful Day!! Debbie's been back on the phone with the broker to make sure everything is set up for transferring the money. These calls always take so long. Looks like its going along fine and hope it stays that way - and on schedule since time is getting close. Then she went through that account because of some discrepancies and has tracked where the problems are. She has yet more time on the phone to them to correct those.

I could not pay my bills online today like I wanted to because of the change over to Wells Fargo. What an annoyance. It seems you have to start all over with their program and I suppose they lost all my list of payees. I'm not a happy customer. Can't even access anything online without giving my whole social security and I'm not doing that. So another trip into the bank to get that all set up and figured out. GRRRR!!!

Maybe will do more looking around online for bedding, towels, kitchen items and such. We may go to Rock Springs in the morning to shop at Walmart. Betty called yesterday for our weekly visit and enjoyed hearing from her. She's as excited about the new house as we are.

It's the birthday of the artist Pablo Picasso, born in Malaga, Spain (1881). He said, "I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it."

"It is reassuring to consider that Shakespeare wrote four failures, plays that few have ever cared to produce and mostly scholars read. These failures are The Two Gentlemen of Verona, King John, All's Well That Ends Well, and Timon of Athens. The reasons for his failure in each case were different, but at least he was always capable of failure, and it is pleasant to know this."
