No Slowing Down

Friday, October 14, 2016 was Jerry and Robbie Hayes' 40th anniversary.  Byrd invited us to attend their surprise anniversary party. So we went and had an awesome time. 40 years...that is a lifetime.
We visited dad and mom both on Saturday, October 15, 2016. We had some deliveries too. My niece Tiffany is building a new house, so daddy took us by to see where it was. Phyllis came too. She gets around quite well with a walker these days.
Our church property received some dozer work on Saturday, but with the lack of rain, we were not allowed to burn any brush.

We were back in church Sunday, October 16, 2016 followed by three deliveries all within 5 miles of us. We had deliveries made and still made it to lunch at Cheddar's to meet Sterl, Deb, Lee and Judy.
Afterwords, we went home for a nap.  Easy Sunday.
I felt pretty good on Monday, October 16, 2016, so we took Kimba to Cane Creek for a walk.

Must have worn me out because our next outing was church on Wednesday, October 19, 2016.
On Thursday, October 20, 2016 I went to visit mom and Devin went with me. It rained a little for the first time in October.

We were headed for a drought, and still are. When we got home from moms, Devin let me cut his hair for the first time in a year.  It was a hot mess.

Devin and Brooke had a dentist appointment on Friday, October 21, 2016 but Devin never showed up. He thought it was funny, but I chewed him out.
Stroker and I went to the WCHS bbq dinner later that evening. Kurt and Beverly sat next to us for a while and then a guy named Tinker and his wife sat across from us for the rest of the evening. We had a good time, but didn't win anything.
We knew Saturday, October 22, 2016  was going to be a hectic day before we even started. We had eight stops to make and they were in two different counties. In Monterey that evening we informed residents of a gas line that they were surprised to know that they had  running to their house.  That's us, always making discoveries.  And that's God, always protecting us from disaster.

We got up and headed to church on Sunday, October 23, 2016 and then went to Cheddar's for lunch. I had a hair appointment Sunday evening. Brooke went with Mary and Ella to Amazing Acres.
On Wednesday, October 26, 2016, we moved the TV to an alternate wall and put in a fireplace. We didn't make it to church. We went to Sparta to pick up the dunk tank for a late season rental. The warm weather is really holding out this year.
On Thursday, October 27, 2016, we went to Cumberland Auto and had dinner at Cracker Barrell with Lee and Judy. We stopped and took our picture by the Mystery Machine.

We made a trip to Monterey on Friday, October 28, 2016 to get a head start on a super busy weekend. We had two new outlets installed in Brooke's room.
We got up Saturday, October 29th and sat out on a sold out day. Thanks God.
We did stop by moms for a minute. She was rooting for the Vols.

Sunday, October 30th  was kind of a repeat after church.  We went to Livingston, Doyle and Alpine and Monterey.
The final day of October...Monday, October, 31, 2016. What a relief. I even dressed up this year. Kate's costume beat mine though.

It was around 70 degrees all throughout trunk or treat. I decorated the car around 4pm because trunk-or-treat started at 5pm.  I bet we had over 300 trick or treaters come through.

Brooke went to a costume party.
