We were up bright and early for our walk. The temps were in the upper 40's with a pretty strong breeze. John made the comment that in about a month or so, it will much colder and not so pleasant for walking. It reminded us that before long we will thinking about returning to Texas for the winter.

After breakfast, John did his PT exercises while I put the finishing touches on the food for lunch. Bee and Nancy Stone and Dave and Valada Sandwick arrived around 10 a.m. It was good to see some familiar Fort Clark faces and to catch up on their news. We sat and visited for a bit and then John gave them a tour of the shop and house. By then it was time to eat--hamburgers, pasta salad, chips, and fresh carrots and cucumbers from the garden. We sat around the table talking for another hour or so and then they headed on home.


This afternoon the clouds returned bringing thunderstorms and heavy rains, so we just spent the rest of the day relaxing inside and this evening watched the Boise State - Virginia Tech football game. It was a great game!
