Fred working on dinner.


Kate and Gerardo went out after dinner to a party so YiYu stayed the night.

The day after Thankgiving we got more snow, that wasn't in the forecast.


 

New House Lights


We changed the lights on the house. The old lights were rusty and worn out so we went with a slightly different look.

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow.

YiYu with her ears 'blowing in the wind'.

The yard and garden in it's first blanket of snow.
Our pumpkin from Halloween.

Only in Minnesota will you see Forsythia shrub blooming in the snow. It has been so warm the last few weeks the plants thought it was spring!!!

It will be awhile before we use the grill again!

Run hard, Put away wet.

Fred's Blazer has brake problems. The disk brake rotors developed rusty spots because with rising gas prices we have left it parked most of the summer. Fred took it to the dealer but because the brakes are 'consumables' the repair was not covered by the warranty. Fred fixed it himself.







Brakes fixed at dealer............. $500.


Brake parts from Autozone........ $150.


Friend with lathe willing to turn rotors........priceless


In other news:
We are almost done getting ready for winter. The furnace has been turned on the last couple of weeks. The lawn and outdoors is just about ready for the snow. Fred has spent a couple of nights working on his bathroom in the basement, though he has not made much progress.

Halloween in Minnesota


Pug Party !!!!! Pug Party!!!!!



Kate and Gerardo enjoying themselves at the Pug celebration. Fred and Kate worked very hard on YiYu's costume but they did not win again this year. Of course YiYu went as Super-Pug the mighty dog.




Halloween Night!!!!!


The animals were beside themselves waiting for the night to begin. We had a lot of Trick-or-treaters visit us.

Kate helped us hand out candy.





YiYu enjoying one of the last warm days of Fall, trying to rest her head on Kathleen's sheets.
