TODAY'S THOUGHT
A hug delights and warms and charms, that must be why God gave us arms
Author UnknownJUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will remind myself that things only have the power I give them.. There is only ONE power in my life and in those around me--and that power is God

IT’S MONDAY !!
It is back to work today. Another quick weekend. The only time I left the house was to go to church Sunday. Other wise I searched for and found most of my fall decorations for the house and for the Camper. I made many many trips up and down the stairs to get it all up and now it’s out. I’ve got pumpkins galore, Fall flowers, candles and turkeys too. I figure it’s all good now til Thanksgiving. Then it will get stored away and Christmas will come out.
One of the things I found was a chain of paper leaves that everyone had put on what they were thankful for. I’m thinking I’ll hang it up again and maybe we can add a different color leaf for everyone.
I’ve been looking at the long range forecast for next weekend. The high temp will be in the 50’s and the low in the mid 30’s. That is getting very close to freezing during the night.
I’m wondering if they’ll have us close up the campers earlier than the 24th due to the fact that our water lines may freeze. Or they could just shut off the water and we could camp without it but that doesn’t sound like much fun.
Last year at this time we were enjoying warm weather and in our shirt sleeves. Now we’ll have our long johns and winter coats on…at least in the evening.
Work will be a long 4 ½ day week. I’m taking a half day on Friday as a vacation day. I wanted to take a full day but I have to do payroll as the following Monday is Columbus Day and the banks will be closed. I’ll do the payroll and then leave.
I’m still on the laptop doing my newsletter yet this morning but. DS#4 was able to help me get the e-mail on the desk top operational so by tomorrow I’ll be back to normal on that anyway
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Let the children come to Me and do not hinder them.
Mark 10:14
God loves children. He created every one of us. He is the Lord of life. He wants all children to be born and live a happy and eternal life. He died so we might live. Our God is not only pro-life, He is Life (Jn 14:6).
Respect life!
