BLOSSOM AND BOB

Years ago when we lived in Grinnell, we had two stuffed pets named Milicent and Minerva. Russ' best friends, Chris and Kyle, had a lot of fun with them. I'd come home from work and find them in all sorts of interesting positions in all different places in the house. Once in awhile they'd hide so they could hear me scream when I found them. It's happening again! Our family pet bulldog, Blossom, sits by the front steps and guards our home.
Without knowing of our history, our neighbor Bob, has been having fun with Blossom, and us. When we came home the other night, Blossom was sitting in the golf cart!

A couple nights later, she was waiting in the dark to get in the back door. Guess who struck again! Note to Bob-I usually get even-some way, some time when you least expect it! In the meantime, it's been fun!

THE APPLE DUMPLING CAFE

The other day we found a new place to eat in Gilbert, called the Apple Dumpling Cafe.

It's a small, known for it's burgers-so we had the one with apple slices, bacon, cheese and some kind of raspberry sauce. They were delicious.

FALL IN AZ

It's fall in AZ and they're picking cotton in our neighborhood.
Quite a healthy crop. Notice the bales in the background.



We were decorated inside for fall and Halloween, and had a little bit outside.
