More signs of fall

That we don't have any kids around (the signs are all around us, but we don't notice and lament them with the head-shaking frequency we suffered in September). This morning, we finished the Jumbo box of "Just Right" cereal. Once a staple of our weekly shopping, it took us almost two months to finish this box. Anticipating Kellogg's announcement that they are going to reorganize their distribution system due to the sudden switch in demand for their products to Ontario.
Fall days! Colder, of course (though we had another 20+ day on the weekend) rain or the threat of it and wind and falling leaves. Fall can only mean one thing: the Red Sox are back in the World Series! Late nights for this fan, for a week anyhow. Hope A-Rod's golf game is rounding into shape.
On Sunday we drove down to Mahone Bay with the Harts...that's right, a pair of aging couples out for our Sunday drive. Stopped by Plovers for the first time since "the incident" (Kathy wore a "sheep" tea cosy around the store, thinking that it was a goofly hat). Noticed that the cosy was on the top shelf, well out of the way. Asked how come, and the staff member told us that "a lady" had come into the store some time before and put the cosy on for a hat, and they wouldn't want that to happen again.
Kathy chuckles every time she goes down to the freezer now. As a result of Ken's "generosity" toward the Highland Park Grade 9 class and the Rawdon Anglican women's group, we are the proud owners of six frozen pies...better off, she says, living on Just Right.
