Be - I have missed so much

Just signing on now and surprised by all the news. I am so glad to hear Dave has had his surgery and from your last message all is OK so far. I know from speaking with him this summer that he was quite anxious about it all, so maybe an earlier date without much time to think was advantageous? Does he have to lay off the Poker games for awhile or can he do that with one eye? It has been beautiful weather lately hasn't it and we are wise to take advantage such as Patty's bicycling or Cathy's four wheeling. The night skies have been spectacular - I wish I were in Cathy's back yard in the dark and with her 180 degree visibility to truly enjoy the view but even here with the streetlights I was awestruck. Today it started to rain so perhaps it is all coming to an end. I need to rake more leaves as the maples are all dropping now. You would never believe by the looks of the yard that I had done any raking at all. I put up some
Hallowe'en decorations today so that helps to boost the morale a little bit.
Well tomorrow we bake Christmas cakes, so I had better get some rest. Hope all is well with you both. Take care
