Friday October 9th~

Happiness is seeing the nephew
 you once held in your arms grow
 into an amazing man...

 Our nephew Riley turned 24 this week. 
Arvid always calls him "the professor" and said, I 
can't believe he's already 24. We held him as a newborn 
in our arms, and today that little boy is 24.  Where
 did the years go by? Riley is celebrating his birthday
 with a three day weekend in The Big Apple, NYC
He and his best friend Katie are going to
 see  the Broadway version of Wicked.


Arvid and I had a good outing.  As long as 
I have a day without cooking, it is a good day,
 does not matter that food prepared at home
 always tastes better.  At least I didn't have
 to clean, and "slave" over the stove.


Arvid enjoyed his Cuban sandwich and
 I for a change did not have chicken. We were
 both very satisfied with our food choice.We
 have been to Castaways before, and Arvid 
did have their Cuban sandwich at the time.
 He always remembered how good it was.


As we drive around I keep taking pictures
 of the trees as they change colors. Flowers are
 still blooming beautifully.  The stunning
 contrast in colors is an amazing sight.


To all a very good day.  Another week is almost
 over and done with.  Soon we will be heading
 home to Florida.  In the meantime we continue
 to enjoy our time here in Branson, Missouri.


Life is like a road trip, enjoy each 
day and don't carry too much baggage...
