Here's my pumpkin patch. I was kind enough to share with the deer. They left me a few. How kind of them!

X marks the spot! I just thought this was pretty cool and wanted to share.

We have a very unhappy Duncan. Not happy that we are leaving him behind!

Going to a Mariner's game. This is taken in front of the Coast Guard Station. Wish Ronny was stationed HERE.

First 20,000 fans got a stocking hat... Bob is modeling our Hats.!

We got our picture taken with Moose....We look good in our Mariner shirts don't you think!

Cathy was able to come to the game. Got there at the 6th inning. Only to sleep thru the rest of the game. Missed out on the double play. WE WON!

We canned corn after the game. Not sure we should had trusted Cathy with a knife. She didn't get much sleep last night.!

We have Potatoes, I would say we have grown over 200 pounds of Potatoes.

Just a few of my Pumpkins I hope to sale them all.

Selling my pumpkins to pay for my seeds for next year. I've made 23.00 after only 2 days!

Ron was called to be a cub scout Den leader.... Here's his den. He has 4 boys.

Fall is the fun time.  I got to dug up the potatoes.  It was like the slot machines.  Lots of treasures in the ground .  BUT  sometimes you hit a Big one.....

To Bad I stab it with the pitch fork!

WE ARE HOME....

Ron and I made a fast trip to Seattle.  Was able to spend the week end with Bob and Cathy.  And even took in a Mariners Game.  WHICH they WON...  It was an afternoon game.  So kind of messes up the whole day.
We did fit in a nice lunch out, PLUS  dinner.  Just nice to be with Bob and Cathy.  
Cathy wasn't able to get to the game until the 6th innings..  Course she also slept thru the last 2 innings.  
Didn't want her behind the wheel, so I drove..  We made it home in one piece.
Then we worked on canning corn.  They got 12 pints.  So some corn in the freezer and I didn't have to do it by myself.... or them.
Cathy did very well with a knife I might add.
We got home around 6 tonight... Sunday.  Very long drive.  When I got to Spokane I needed a pepsi to stay awake.  Boy did it do the job....  
I'm still awake.!!!
This coming week I'll be working on the garden, getting it done for the winter.  
Hopefully I'll be able to get pictures done tonight... or tomorrow.

It was nice to get away.  Even if it was for just the Week end.

Mari was having fun in the fire truck... It sold! Sorry to see it go. No Grandma Helen didn't buy it for her Granddaughter.!

All our Garage sale STUFF...We're hoping it All go's away!

It's Sunday afternoon....  Just up from a short nap.

It was a busy week-end.  We decided to have a garage sale.  Not the best turnout for it.  But we got ruined of some STUFF... and made money at it too.  The Biggest hit was the canning jars.  I got ruin of about........15 doz's.  WE had a lot of Jars.  Still have plenty for me to can with.
Tomorrow I'll be canning corn.  I hope this will be the last of my canning.
We still have a mess outside....  and I'm hoping it will all be gone by Tuesday.  Ron has a meeting tomorrow night.
We did haul a truck load to St Vinnie's.  And I have 6 tubs for the barn.  Nothing is coming back in the house....  I'm doing better.
It was SAD to see some stuff go. 
BUT  While going thru a box I found a Jean Jumper  that I'm Thinking I can fix in now.  How Exciting is THAT.....Ron will be SO Trilled  ....
SAD Part..  we Sold the little Fire truck we got for our Grandkids.  Hard to let it go.  But I did get a picture of it.  At less I have that.
Ron Finished the Green house Saturday.  So that job is done.  Just need to get the grass up and put rock down.  That's another day!
We are Getting much needed rain...  Been raining all day plus last night.  This way we don't have to change pipes .  I LOVE IT!
Life is good.  
Last week I was Release from my RS Calling .  IT's Been a wonderful Week.  And for the First time in 9 years Ron and I went to church together, and Came home,   Together.  I love it.
I Didn't have to eat alone today....  
Looking forward to the Sunday's to come.

Our morning started early.  We decided to work on the green house before it rains or snow.  This will be nice when done.  Plan to get back to starting our flowers and veggies.  Plants on the south side.  And we will store our mower, little tiller, and tools on the North side.  Make it closer to the garden.

So Hopefully we will get better use out of  this green house.  Time will tell.

RON WAS UP EARLY THIS WILL BE NICE WHEN HE'S DONE.

WORKING ON THE GREEN HOUSE. COULD FINISH TODAY....

TODAY WAS THE DALTON GARDEN'S PICNIC.  WHICH IS ALWAYS FUN TO GO TO.  PLUS I DIDN'T HAVE TO COOK.  JUST A DISH TO SHARE.  NOT AS MANY PEOPLE AS IN THE PASS.  STILL A NICE TIME.  KOOTENAI FIRE ALSO TAKE A BIG PART IN THE CELEBRATION.  

THEY HAD OLD CARS AT THE PICNIC. RON WANTS THIS ONE.!

Today is Sept 11 Ron got the day off.  So we decided to enjoy our First and Last day on the boat.  Pretty sad to pay for insurance and License and not use the boat...  But we enjoy ourselves today.  It was a beautiful day.  Did we get in the water???  Let's just say.. I put my feet in..  VERY COLD

I Love where we live..  Nice to enjoy the beauty around us..  But Sad to see how its built up.  And Not with Small homes.  But Very  LARGE Homes.
Summer is coming to a end... But the Sun is still HOT.  Ron and I both got Color today.  We'll feel it tomorrow.!

OK I'm changing into my NEW suit... No Peeking!!! I love this BOAT....

Tried my luck at fishing.... Not even one bite.....

Enjoying a nice lunch for our outing.. Turkey on Home made bread Plus tomatoes from our garden.

This is the beach we always took the kids too. They learn to ski off of this beach.. There's a house on the land now... VERY SAD

This home is Franz, He played on " Hill street Blue's " NICE HOME

Ron was rocked to sleep!
