October 13, 1922 - she was born on a Friday in the Chinese year of the Dog. Yves Montand was born the year before and Lenny Bruch was three years younger than her: My MOM!
To celebrate her 86th birthday three of us and a friend went to the Covered Bridge Festival in Park County, Indiana. The "slideshow" covers the day. Mom walked all of us "youngsters" into the ground that day. We were "pooped" by the time cocktails were poured in the gazabo.
Yesterday (October 19) I managed a trail run (10K) at the Ballard Nature Center along with about 50 other runners. The start was UP a hill (not the best way to begin a long run through the woods), and then it got better. After an hour and 10+ minutes I found the finish line. The good news was - I wasn't the last person to cross the tape. In fact, I was second in the "women over 50" group. Not too bad.
Fall is definitely here. Not too many more great days for just enjoying the sun or laying around the yard - like the furry ones. May you all have a great fall week!
