Fall in Iowa and Hitch Itch

Wish I could lay claim to this photo but I cannot. Sure liked it though.

Now this one I can claim as my own. Took it this morning when Butch and were walking the trail. Too windy for biking.

Starting to get Hitch Itch. Looks like we will be on the road about the 25 or 26th. Staying a few days in the Canyon Lake Texas area is in our plans with arriving in Magnolia Park in Donna Texas on the first of November. Very much looking forward to seeing the friends who draw us south each year.

Rode the trail

Mickey and I rode the trail today. We went past the bridge a ways to an area I have dubbed 'the church'.  It is very quiet and peaceful in the church and if you go a bit further there is a fast running stream at the bottom of a deep ravine. I have tried many times to get a good picture of it but have not succeeded. I did get a bucolic photo at the bridge.

Send off

Went to a send off for Pete and Jerilynn last night at Mickeys. It was a small group but very fun. Pete and Jerilynn are the couple we went to see in Florida last Spring. They had such a good time there that they are itching to get back. We and other Magnolia Park people are very understanding of that because we have the same feeling for Texas.

The new Magnolia Park (Texas) manager called the other day and verified when we were coming and I told her the first week in November. She was very nice. Said she wanted to be sure to have our lot ready for us when we arrived.

Butch's finger with his 7 stitches is covered up but I think it is healing nicely. He will be getting the stitches out on Friday.

Ethan

It has been awhile since we have seen what Ethan is up to. He has joined Tiger Scouts. I think that is for the younger boys. He is loving it. I think the scouts were made for him.
