Veterans at the hospital, many of whom have little or no income, are then able to “shop” for free gifts for their families.

Well, it’s the time of the year when you start to think about putting the A/C to bed. Then it turns warm and you have to turn it on again. We did close the “foundation” vents. That’s a hard job. It took five minutes. Putting the A/C away takes a little longer. Decisions, decisions. Did you know components derived from the blood of cattle are utilized to manufacture fire retardants? Wonder who figured that out? Cattle by-products are also used to make candles, crayons, detergents, mouthwash, paint, soap and toothpaste. Then there is the leather for shoes, gloves and upholstery. Even tires have stearic acid, which makes rubber hold its shape. (Info furnished by American National Cattle Women, Inc.)

Fall is Soo Yukawa definitely in the air! There is some scrambling to get some last minute things done around here before the ground freezes over though. I’ve got a few things on my list. I will enjoy the winter in my nice warm house doing some little projects and pondering life. On Oct. 20, we had yummy hamburgers with all the fixings, french fries, the best macaroni salad and cake. Just thinking about it right now is making my mouth water. I haven’t had any breakfast and I’m just sipping some green tea as I type up this article.

We hope they enjoyed their meal and come back real soon. We had 51 guests and eleven take-outs. My family and I are really enjoying living here in Monument. We truly love our community. Judy Harris gave us ladies the most wonderful quilting class. I took my two girls with me. We had so much fun! Judy had everything prepared and we even received gifts of these fabulous little ironing boards that Judy made herself. The portable ironing boards were such a clever and nifty idea that I think I will balk at having to iron alongside my sewing when I have to. The fact that I had to get the big, bulky ironing board out and set it up would cause me to groan and moan that I had to iron as I sewed my little projects. This portable ironing board is just right next to me on the table and doesn’t take up a whole lot of space. All of us were so blessed by our wonderful and generous friend, Judy Harris, that we can’t thank her enough. Since we had such a fabulous time of quilting, we will be having more of those days coming up. Anyone is welcome; we share our time and commune with one another while sewing, listen to some funny tales and share a potluck lunch, and it’s a free class. I will let you know when the next class will be. Bingo will be at 7pm this Friday, Oct. 30. It will be a potluck dinner.
