Dave: Our gas prices are UP and DOWN lately. Yesterday they were $2.88 at Krogers. Not sure what Costco was charging. I try and keep my tank TOPPED OFF lately when I see the prices go down.
Happy Grocery shopping. We need to go to Costco and buy a big box of the Quacker Oatmeal for Art. Hate the thought of going there this close to a weekend. 
We had 7 bags of leaves for the trash guys today. Our 2 beautiful Maple trees out in front are taking their time dropping leaves, but we could collect them daily this time of the year. The HUGE MAPLE in the backyard still has a huge amount to fall down. And our neighbors 2 backyard trees are holding on as if the leaves were GOLD.
KAREN: How's things going with the Rummage Sale. Did you folks collect a lot of items to sell? Hope your BACK holds out from all the bending and standing.
Mike: Anything exciting happening in your neck of the woods?
Lee: Good idea lowering the blade on the lawnmower. I always like the grass cut lower, but our lawn guy says it's better to leave it higher. Just looks better to me lower. If I could cut the grass myself with a Self-Propelled lawn mower, I'd do the way like it. 
Lee: I was cleaning up papers around this computer area desk yesterday and I came across the list you sent us all of the dates you would be going to Florida and where you would be staying on the way down and back up ..... it was from
2023! You need to make up another list like that for us to follow and keep track of you. Better yet we could connect on our iPhones with the Follow my Friend app. (NAW... that's going a little too far)
I have 3 pkgs of Philly Cream Cheese that I'm thinking of making into a Pumpkin Cheesecake. I want to use 2 small pans and freeze one of them to take to Thanksgiving dinner at my brothers. Just have to buy 1 more Pkg for the recipe.
You all have a nice day. It's COLD (47F) here right now, BUT SUNNY. So that makes up for the cold.
