Winners

The other night Aimee's softball team had a bye week so they got together at a local bar that sponsors the team.
Apparently it was Bingo night at this bar so we all had some cards placed in front of us.

Of the first four games played, I won twice and Aimee won once. This is with the entire bar of about 25-30 people participating. Not sure why we had such good luck.

The only bad part was that there were no extraordinary prizes for the winners. We each collected a Jose Cuervo t-shirt and a shot of tequila.

The third time we won we let somebody else at our table go up and collect.

Slide gone

This weekend we dismantled the slide for the pool.

We never used it and it seemed like it was just taking up a lot of space.

Sure enough, after we took it down, it made the backyard seem a lot bigger.
We trimmed back the lemon tree in that corner too and now we like the
way it looks there.

Now we're shopping around to replace the filter, pump and heater. The
original equipment has been in use since 1981.

Falling Back

On Halloween night we had our usual low turnout of trick-or-treaters.

Only four groups showed up during the night.

That was fine. We were busy eating dinner and changing the channel

on the t.v.

We watched ND get an easy win over WSU, and USC get clobbered by Oregon.

We were also switching over to the World Series to see the Yankees beat the Phillies.

Our clocks were already set back and Aimee went to bed after the 8th inning.

Our final trick-or-treaters came in the 7th inning.

I stayed up to see the end of the game and was in bed by 9 o'clock (or 8 PST).

The time change doesn't seem to faze Rosebud at all. She has no trouble falling

asleep at any time of the day or night.
