Rainy October Saturday

A friend sent us this web address. Check it out if you want to see some beautiful pictures of the Fall in Cape Breton. http://www.paulillsley.com/ns/capebreton/

Not much going on this morning. Ralph has ventured out in the rain to pick up a few groceries. My cousin Cora and her husband Randy are on the way here to spend the day and night. We are going shopping this afternoon and then supper out and the casino tonight. I have been playing with our newly installed "DVR" since we got it yesterday. That is a Digital Video Recorder and as Mama used to say "it is a keen rig", meaning it is pretty awesome. It is so easy to use compared to a VCR. I find the show I want to tape on the Guide and press record. That is it. I can press stop on live T.V. shows as they are playing (if the phone rings or whatever) and then go back and pick up where I left off. I love it! Trish had it on her t.v. when we were up there last week and that is what convinced me to get it. Glad I did.
I gotta get upstairs and make soup for lunch, chocolate chip cookies for dessert and then clean up a bit, shower and get dressed, all before my company arrives. Since I had a quote from Mama here is one from Daddy, I'd better "get my ass in gear" :-)
