October was a special and blessed fall month for me! I'm thankful.
October started with going to Cheyenne Wyoming for a visit with my dear friend Ivanna while my mother went shopping at Menards for a special mop. Ivanna and I went on a chilly walk together. I always love getting to see her every once in a while!
Throughout October, work on the church in Federal Heights continued. Here Mother is helping clean up.

One evening we got to test drive this blue car to see if we wanted to buy it. We didn't end up getting it.
We have really enjoyed the beautiful, red, fall trees this year.
We often go on walks in the evenings.
An interesting bug-thing that we saw on our deck one day.

On the 29th, I spent time with my friend Sunshine for lunch, then went to HobbyLobby with her. It was nice to see her for a few hours.
On the 30th, I spent the morning with my friend Jenny and her boy Fletcher. We had a special, fun time of visiting together!
The rest of the day I spent with my friend Natalie, and her family, but I got to see Jenny again that evening at a Christmas program practice at their church, so we got a picture together.
On the 31st, I enjoyed spending the morning with Natalie's family. They let me help with some things on their farm, moving cows and horses, and doing some other things. I really enjoyed the time with them, getting to do things that I don't normally get a chance to do. :)

November, here we come!!
