I made a trip to the farm on Thursday to see my husband, "winterize" my flower beds and to just generally enjoy the harvest season with Mark. Of course, it is more enjoyable when the combine stays healthy, which it did this week-end except for a minor thing or two. Mark grilled delicious meals each night.....I have never made steaks on the grill quite as wonderful as his and probably never will! Anyway, had a wonderful week-end with him....
I am now back "on the job". That hard job of caring for Drew. I flew back last night around 7 pm out of Omaha. Mark and I left Sunday for Omaha around noon and met Matt at a sports bar to visit and watch some Pro FB on their huge screems. Got to visit for a couple of hours and then it was time for my flight. Megan picked me up at Sky Harbor last night and I was home by 8:45 AZ time.
Drew, Sox and I went for a walk this morning. Really, really nice. From here on out the weather is looking finer and finer. Worth all that heat this summer! I will still be in shorts probably all winter here, except for evenings and some cooler days that pop up. I will be thinking of all my friends and relatives in that midwest god awful weather and thankful that Mark and I will be golfing, hiking,etc. this winter. Doesn't that make old age sound like something to look forward to? I want to say to all my old friends at Ogden: "Take your IPERS as soon as possible and enjoy a stress-free life!" :-)
Pictures posted show the farm looking very fall-like..........landscaping all trimmed back, corn ready to be harvested. Also some pics of Mark's new pick-up, a Toyota Tacoma. He needed something to have out here this winter and the diesel big truck didn't seem very practical. Matt got him a great deal through connections in Omaha and it just happened to be ready on Thursday to be picked up. That was the day I flew in to Omaha so Matt got me at the airport, drove me to the Toyota dealer and I drove that home. It worked out quite well, as he didn't need to stop combining to drive all the way to Omaha. He got his new truck and his old wife in one fell swoop that day. :-) It is a really nice truck and I think he is going to love it! Have a great week everyone.

I'm 35, do you think it's too early for me to take my Ipers?? I'd sure like to!
You're just a baby, Susan. You have not REALLY been stressed enough yet by the admin to warrant IPERS! But by 55 you will be howling to get out of there! .....and I do mean howling!
