Meet Patrick

Patrick Burbank Little, my great nephew,  was born at 9:52 this morning. Patrick weighed 9 lbs 1 oz and he and mom are doing fine.

Mary, his grandmother,  stopped by to skype with her new grandson. He was more interested in his thumb.

Fun day Sunday

Sunday was a lovely fall day and I took advantage. I began with a visit to the documentary film festival parking lot to check on the car decorated yesterday to coincide with a documentary about decorated cars that was showing.

Now this is some hood ornament!! The car will be auctioned but I think I will probably pass on that.

I strolled the busy streets among the visitors picking up a couple of caches along the way. It is always a fun place to people watch. I wore my crazy Cape Cod T shirt so I might have been the one being watched?!

A drive out to Crystal Springs was rewarding as I had a cup of tea and a nice visit with Chris while I admired her decorating/remodeling projects. Her house belongs in decorator's magazine. It is magnificent.  We went down to daughter Joy's house and had a pleasant visit with her. She has also been in remodel mode and has really made some great changes to the century old house. I offered a claw-foot tub for her guest bath!

Back in town I stopped by Kay's. She was busy preparing for another week of teaching but her painted black back door looked fine!

Leon enjoyed an afternoon of football and rest! He is starting to feel much better after his bout with shingles! Now we can focus on flu shots.We will go to a drive by tomorrow and get a shot at the mall. Don't even have to get out of the car!

Rubik's Cube Car

Thursday was a chilly day with a brisk breeze but no rain. What better to do than pick up a few geocaches around town. I found nine but there were plenty that I did not find. I did find a strange car in front of the documentary film festival. It must tie in with a movie they are showing.

Fall happenings

The weather has been on the cool side and the leaves are starting to have some color, but very little compared to what we saw on the New England Whirlwind Tour! I have spent way too much time walking in the leaves catching up on some geocaches around town. But being retired, I don't know what else I should be doing. One cache led me on a walk at the Entergy Park on Lake Hamilton. After the next cache I took advantage of my membership and walked through a portion of Garvan Gardens.

Yesterday was rainy and the perfect day to go to the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, where I met Chris, Mel, Darla and her sisters.  The Legend of Pancho Barnes was an excellent choice and most entertaining.

Looking forward to the Razorback game on Saturday. Yes, the SEC officiating team from last week's Florida/Arkansas game have been suspended temporarily! If only the players could have determined the outcome of that game! Go HOGS!

Jiggety Jog

It is nice to be home again. Leon's shingles seem to be improving. And we get to watch the Razorback's play football this afternoon ... but Florida, the number one team!? At least we won't have to go to a sports bar!
