November 2009

After dinner and a few hot games of Polish Poker, Mary Jo had to take this picture, Chuck, Marie, Roger, Peggy & Floyd.


We hosted a pre-Thanksgiving party today, We cooked our famous smoked spare ribs on the grill, Chuck, Marie & Roger were here, as well as Cash & Marily, Peggy & Floyd and us. We love to have dinner parties.

Mary Jo is practicing with our new camera so she snapped this portrait of her Mom & Dad.


Carrie sent us this photo from her cell phone of Alice Mae helping raking leaves, it was so cute, I had to post this.


Uncle Chuck & Marie picked up Roger at the Airport and are in town for a few days so we had to get together to play some Polish Poker.


More Polish Poker Players.


Mary Jo's parents came out for Thanksgiving, of course we had to take them to breakfast at Aliante Station's Original Pancake House, our favorite place for breakfast in our neighborhood.

October 2009

Alice Mae our Granddaughter sent us 3 of her art projects for Halloween, we absolutely love them. Her dad sent a picture of them in their costumes as well.

UND played a football game in Cedar City, UT (2 1/2 hours north of here) Southern Utah University in Oct, so we went, UND got clobbered, but it was a good change of pace to get a day out of town.



The first cool weekend in North Las Vegas, Mary Jo has to make a pot roast in the oven, we don't use our oven all summer, April-October, boy it was delicious.


Our 5th Annual Fall Willow Wren Drive Block Party, we were part of the original instigators and it has kept going, nice way to meet the neighbors.


Potluck anyone?


Lots of neighborhood catching up to do.
