road trip

 We took a short road trip today

    We went to Morton Arboretum to look at the fall colors.   We were not disappointed.

    My favorite parts were the oak and beech areas on the east side.  The colors were amazing.  In fact, no matter where you looked you saw beauty,

    There are 5 sculptures in the park, but we only got to 3 of them.

    To be honest, my legs were killing me on the short walks to the 3!  Don't think I could have handled much walking after that.

    Jackie stayed in the car, which is one downside to having MS.  One?  Hell, there are dozens. But not walking is a big one.

    The sun was shining, the air crisp, the colors sharp......and I did not see any political signs while in the arboretum.

    I did have one problem.  Had some trash to get rid of and could not figure out how to open the garbage can.  A lady stopped, she couldn't figure it out, and a man stopped and said the latch was inside the handle.  He opened it for me in a snap.

    I felt a little foolish.

    Besides that, it was a good day.

    We stopped at a place called The Dump.  It's a discount furniture store near the arboretum.  I was so turned around direction-wise, Thought north was west and east was south.....lucky Jackie was along because I was just goofy.

    That's it.

Peace and Love
