As I mentioned before Barb was coming for a visit and has been here now four days. She wears me out with her constant asking me questions and wanting to discuss every word spoken by anyone in detail. How is it that you can have a friend you really care about, but just want her to shut the you know what up? We have been friends for 56 years and have great memories and lots of fun together most of the time. She knows she gets under my skin about the questions and just keeps it up - seemingly getting great pleasure from it. Yesterday we went to lunch with Irmgard and she was not like that at all. I wonder if Irmgard would spend the next three days with us? We are going to the beach today to walk. It is supposed to be 82 degrees today.
We are getting ready for our trip to SD and excited about getting out of Dodge. Earl and I haven't really gone on any extended trips for a long, long time. I appreciate your suggestions Susie. This weekend I need to find my flannel pj's and a few warm sweaters. Daytime temps don't seem so bad, but the nights are into to 30's. Big difference from here.
I am excited that we are going to see Angie and Ben tomorrow. They are going to be inspecting a tower at Cherry Point. They are working with a crew from California that they are training to inspect the towers at the military bases. They have been in South Carolina at Paris Island the past few days. On Friday they will inspect a tower at Cherry Point and then Saturday they will inspect one at Quantico in Virginia.
That is all I have to say this morning. Hoping for some feedback.
Love you much sisters.

Alone Again
Ok, where are you girls? It is hard to just yack away with no one listening. Sort of like when Earl is watching TV and I am talking to him.
Barb will be here Saturday for a week. Guess I already mentioned that. Something I don't know if I mentioned or not is that Earl and I are going on a road trip - a real long one on October 17th. We will leave after my doctor's appointment about noon and head for Crazy Horse, SD. We have been talking about taking some type of a trip for a long time, but now we are going to do it. Earl has wanted to go see this monument in the works of Crazy Horse. I am going to research places along the way to see if there are things that would be interesting to see. I am also going to get some warm clothes out to go on this trip. We had planned on going to Denver after SD, but Troy will be working till the 26th. Guess we will have to save that trip for another time. Troy may come home for a few days after we get home.
Gordon said he is coming home for Christmas. We are excited about that.
Well, I am excited about going to bed so goodnight.
I love you phantom sisters.

Is It October Already????
Ok, where did September go? Did we skip it this year? Time goes by so quickly for me lately. I know, that is what happens when one gets to be advanced in age - racing toward the finish line. What a thought! Give me back September if it really happened.
So, what is happening in your lives? I know Lizzie is soon to be part time if not already and has moved into her lovely new digs and Susie is going to Curves, playing games on Facebook, beating me at Scrabble and taking pictures of beautiful grandchildren because I saw them right here on this Sister space. What else is happening?
My life? Well, a lot of it the same. Church, Mah Jongg, Bowling, Volunteering, sewing, visiting my future at the old folks homes. We did go to the Seafood Festival in Morehead this past Sunday. Thousands of people come from all over the state for this big ole stinking event. All that seafood frying in that grease has got to stink. We go every year and never buy any seafood from the many groups that are raising money for their organizations. But then I am not crazy about a lot of the fish. There are also over a hundred vendors selling all sorts of things that I don't need, but fun to look at.
October is the month for festivals here in our area. Coming up is the Mullet Festival, Mum Festival and the Chili Festival. They are all about the same except for the food and entertainment.
Barb is arriving Saturday so I have been trying to think of some things to keep us out of Earl's hair - imaginary hair, that is. The weather looks pretty good so the beach will be someplace we will go to often. Maybe go to Raleigh one day to the museums. We'll see. Any ideas?
That is it for another exciting post. I expect to see some words from you two soon.
Much love,
Lori
