I actually got a few Halloween pictures just now, but I don't have time to make a layout yet. Hopefully I can post at least one tomorrow. Today I have a picture of Ashley from a lesser known holiday in September...Daughter's Day which was celebrated September 25.

I copied exactly this layout I found somewhere online. I just changed the picture in the frame to one I took of the color on October 20 here. Just had to publish a fall layout since winter is suspected to hit here tonight. No, I'm not ready for it, but of course I have no choice but to bring out the winter coats, etc.

This is our great graddaughter Ava. Most places have already celebrated Halloween this weekend. I don't have many pictures of that yet, but we do have this one taken of Ava in her neighborhood on October 10.

This picture was taken two days ago, on the next to the last most beautiful day of the year. In my opinion, fall is the most beautiful season of the year. Of course that is here in Ohio it is. Glad I interrupted Ron's work to have him pose with me. Coming up is cooler temperatures and rain.

Well, I'm finally posting something more recent. This picture was taken 2 days ago. Ron is too busy to do any short trips to see all the beautiful leaves. All my girlfriends who would have done that in the past have either moved away or are traveling right now. So rather than drive around alone, I'm sticking close to home, very close here...right beside my house. Oh, and it is a selfie.

I had not yet posted these pictures of Caleb at the Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls. They were taken back in July. It is fun to look back at summer and see such handsome smiles.

Ryan ( pronounced Ry ann) is a sweet girl. She loves her little cousin Kendal.

I've read that there are waves of Monarch Butterflies that fly through that Horsetooth Mountain area in October each year. Millions of these butterflies fly up to three thousand miles from Canada to Mexico through this area. The trip takes them 2 months. They huddle together as they are cold. In the spring, they begin their return to Mexico the second week of March. There are no other butterflies that fly that far.

The Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls is quite nice. These pictures were taken out front on the sidewalk.

He is a happy dog. A happy family makes a happy dog.

This is one place that is not too far from us here in OH, that I have not visited. I'm glad they did and took pictures. These were taken the evening they arrived after visitng Niagara Falls in New York.

Kendal is our great granddaughter and she is GREAT fun. So sorry we've not been able to see her in person yet. So glad for all the pictures.

So glad the kids were able to do this. It is something they won't forget.

So glad they got to do this.

More fun with Bernie, the STAR of the show.

Bernie won their hearts very quickly.

Yankee Peddler comes to Canal Fufltoon, OH every fall. It brings lots of fun activity. Here is Ava enjoying one of them.

We are proud of our granddaughter.

Bernie is a lucky dog...really lucky. Oliver gave him a good day.

Caleb took Bernie for a walk. There was a good sign in the sky. What a great day for Bernie and his new family.

This was the day Bernie came to live with his new family. It was a joyful day all around. He loved them and they loved him. They still do.

While Chelle has been pretty much house bound, she has had extra time on her hands. She's pretty much off her feet most of the time. She had a great idea and made herself a costume for Halloween. Chelle is ready!

Brittanie really loves her animals. Here she is with Cloe and Kota.

I've been so busy that I didn't get this sweet picture in a layout until this week. She is one and I still have not been able to see her in person. Sad!

This was from August 8. Things have improved very much since then. She got a great report from her doctor today. Hallelujah, Praise God. We are now praying for a complete recovery.

Jumping from July to September, John's family has their new member, Bernie, hiking with them at Horsetooth Mountain in Colorado.
