Happy To Have My Sister and Niece Here For the October Weekend. The Temperatures Dropped, but the Warmth Was With Us

What won't be displayed in this post are impersonations of the women dancing at the bar to What Up, Funk? at the Windmill in Stratford, Connecticut. That will have to be saved for Crandall's year-end montage. What can be said now is that we had a great day of Donut Crazy, walking at the beach, potato curls at the pumpkin festival, the flea market in New Haven, margaritas at the beach, then an evening of post 50-year olds with boob jobs pretending they're in their 20s again. That was the highlight of the day, indeed.

We picked up Glamis for him about 10 p.m. and then watched YouTube for a while until everyone was ready for sleep. Funny to think that Nikki is ready for bed before I am and she's only 23.

Phew! That time flew by quickly.

I can say, as a matter of fact, that I'm not able to sustain the amount of food we consumed today. Pam

made a delicious lunch for us all, and we had an equally delicious meal at the Windmill. Without getting a run in, I was feeling extra lethargic, but well-fed for the day. Amazing the food consumption that is available when one wants it.

Pam and Shirley take the day away, however, with their post-bar impersonations of the women on the dance floor. It is a performance worthy of Saturday Nigh Live (and that I'm saving for exactly the right moment). It was classic and something we will all laugh about for years and years and years.

Here's to the cool nights and wonderful sleeping temperatures of October. I always set a goal that the heat won't go on until November. I am, however, already tempted to warm things up a big. For now, it has to be the heavy blankets and tight roll-ups in under them.

So wonderful to have family with me for the weekend.
