The next day after we got home, we attended a play at the Jewel Box Theatre at Hale Center Theatre called The Murders of 1940. I had never heard of it before and had a cute premise of the author writing the script while participating in some of the scenes. It made me laugh which is fun, although I don't think it is a play I would want to see again. (Oct. 15)
As we were leaving the theatre, we had Jena sit in the Sister Act photo spot since that show was still going on. We saw it the following Wednesday in the main stage and loved it. No one is quite Whoopie Goldberg, but the cast all did a good job and it was fun. (Oct. 22)
I also started back walking in Jensen Pond and after a two-week absence, the colors were definitely changing into the fall and the morning air was much brisker so I moved to my winter cap.
I just love the colors in these pictures taken on a bit of a rainy day. ( Oct. 16)
It is times like this that I wished I could paint. I would love to make these colors, shapes, and layers come onto a canvas. Maybe in my next life----nature is so amazing. And we are blessed to understand that this earth was provided to us by a loving Heavenly Father through His Son, Jesus Christ, for our own growth and learning. The earth is perfect!!!
Gary and I have different walking paces and morning schedules so we rately walk together...but one morning our cars enjoyed being together! (Oct. 17)
On October 17, Gary and I had the great pleasure to meet our old friend, Rob Dinsmore and his wife, Sally. Rob lived on the same floor with Gary as college freshmen and then later entered the MTC on the same day. Rob went to Brazil. Rob was the first person who told me that I should consider marrying Gary. Before they left on their missions, he told me that he didn't understand why we hadn't dated because we would be perfect. Since Gary had been dating my friend, Jody, I didn't give it much thought although later, Jody also said something similar to me. Wise friends. Rob got married later in life and they live in El Paso. We had never met Sally, but found her easy to talk to and we had many things in common that we love, including travel. Sally and I got a lot of talking in a brief lunch especially for people who just met. Rob did good!
Heading to pick up my groceries one Saturday morning (Oct. 18), I pulled over to catch this photo of a balloon. We don't see them very often around here so that was fun, too.
And later that night while Gary was serving at the temple, Jena and I showed our BYU loyalty and cheered BYU to a victory over Utah. 24-21. That was a fun game to watch.
And finally, the following Tuesday (Oct. 22), we attended our Ward Fall Festival. Here is Jena in her cowgirl costume with the skirt she had gotten at the Goodwill in Oro Valley while shopping with Scarlett and Chantel. Unfortunately, her vest and shirt got held up in shipping but she found another brown shirt to wear for tonight.
So after a fun two weeks of vacationing followed by plays, parties, friends, and a BYU win over Utah, it finally felt like life could settle down and I could maybe get some much needed work done around here. Of course, Halloween was just around the corner.....
