Christmas lights are up!









Our Christmas lights are up and we are very happy with our new red lights on our deck. They were a great find this summer at a yard sale and worth every penny.

Movember




It's the end of the month and this is my final result of my mustache for Movember. I hope more awareness and money has been raised to help cure prostate cancer.

Flight Simulator!





Heather and I had the opportunity to be pilots in one of Alaska Airlines flight simulators for a 737-800. We were able to take off and land the plane at JFK airport in NY. Heather was close to losing control when her pic was taken, but she pulled out of it. It was very realistic and super Fun, hope to do it again.

They finally ripened!

All at once, and just in time...

Cantaloupe!

Early in the year Heather bought some surprise plants for Fred- he didn't get to know what they were until they showed themselves. Turns out Heather got a surprise too- even though they were supposed to be watermelons, one of them was a cantaloupe.



Sadly, this was the WORST-tasting cantaloupe either of us has ever eaten.

The Garden


Cucumbers- a few Japanese/English (long and skinny),
a few Persian (small and cute)

Only teeny-tiny infant cucumbers so far

Tomatoes- getting some fruit on the vine, but nothing close to red yet

Sunflowers are doing well- they finally opened last week when
Sally came to town, bringing her sunshine

Expanded the garden to the berm this year- all an experiment.
Got 3 zucchini already, but slow to produce more

The watermelons were a surprise for Fred- he didn't know what kind of plants they were until the fruit started to grow. They're golf ball sized so far, and getting measurably larger each day.
