On Sunday we drove to Leo & Kristen's home near Hawley, PA for a delicious bar-b-q. Also joining us were Chris, Adrian, Katie, Stephen, Patti, Ted, Timmy and Bridget. It was so very nice to have everyone together. Well, Peter, Roxanne, Anthony and Alex weren't able to get up from Florida, but they were there in spirit. We had a small baby shower for Kristen also. Kristen & Leo provided plenty of food and a beautiful location. The promised wildlife, however, did not make an appearance. Maybe next time.
Today, Monday, Columbus Day, we watched while the excavation man talked about the work to be done to prepare for the pole garage that Leo & Kristen are having built next to their house. It is like a pole barn, but a garage and will be built by the Amish. It will be steel construction with a steel roof. If all goes well, it should be completed by Thanksgiving or the end of November, hopefully before the first snow.
After lunch we drove to Lake Wallenpaupack and walked along a path on a berm at one end of the lake. Leo & Kristen then took us to Promised Land State Park where we walked on a trail next to the lake there. It was absolutely beautiful with the colorful leaves reflecting in the lake.
On the way home we stopped to buy some Winesap apples and again to buy some real, raw honey. When we got home we got the excellent news that Chris is going to have a book published. Congratulation Christine.

Thanks, Dad! You know I get my writing talent from you, right? When are you going to write your novel?
It was a very nice weekend indeed. As far as the wildlife goes, three deer were here at 6pm eating the corn. Then two more came a little later. With the moon being so bright I looked around before I went to bed and there were two eating in the front lawn. Then ten point made an appearance this morning.
