c'est la vie

 All good things come to an end


    Tomorrow I will take all my Cub stuff downstairs.  I was hoping to keep it out a little longer, but that didn't happen.

    Yes, I am a little disappointed.  Milwaukee seemed to get hits with 2 outs, the Cubs did not. They had their chances, but came up empty.

    But life goes on, doesn't it?

    I have another frustration.

    I have put on a little weight over the years.  I once wore 36 in waist pants, but I can't button them very easily.  So I went to 38 in waists, but I have to use suspenders because they keep falling down.

    I finally found some 37 inch waist pants, with elastic on the sides so they can stretch.  I bought 2 pairs, tried on the first pair and thought they fit pretty darn nice.

    Washed them, wore them, and now I can't keep those up!  I am not losing weight, things just don't fit.

    My next step is to buy 36 inch waist with the elastic sides.  When this is done I will have 3 sizes of pants in my dresser.

    I also met be shrinking.  I got 30 inch inseam and they are about 2 inches too long.  But I am afraid if I buy 28 they will shrink and I will look like I am waiting for a flood.

    And another frustration.  I have always hated climbing ladders.  At my age, I hate it even more.  

    I had a motion detector security light burn out.  Julia was over and I had her hold the ladder while I climbed up and removed the bulbs.  I figure replace both, since they were put in at the same time.

    Bought new bulbs.  Julia was over yesterday and she held the ladder while I climbed up and put the new bulbs in.

    Last night I went out and......one of the damn bulbs does not light!  Either I did not screw it in tightly or the new bulb is dead.

    Now I have to get someone over here when it is dark so I can climb the ladder and check.

    Like I say, life goes on.

Peace and Love


No, those are not fake spider webs....they are the real thing!

This was at the place I got pumpkins....very neat

at the pumpkin place


I went here for the first time last year.....huge pumpkins for $5!

Still some color in my native patch



Every year I just shove stuff into the garage.  This year I am cleaning pots before I put them away.  I had no idea I had so many huge buckets.
