Fred had been doing the graveyard shift last weekend and this one...actually he is doing a role in the skits out at the mausoleum in the Rose Hill Ce
metery in Macon for the Halloween season. It is a part of the Trolley Tours of Macon and they've been quite successful with their gimmick. Each of the players portrays someone who is actually laid to rest in the mausoleum, most of whom were placed there between 1790 and 1919. Like the character from Edgar Lee Master's Spoon River Anthologies, each of these folks has a story to tell. Their stories have been gathered and the players take great pride in bringing themselves back to life for the public. The reviews have been very good.I've spent the last couple of days searching the Internet for some appropriately priced tickets for Greg, Kelly, Max & Ash to come to the Hardin Christmas Reunion in Spindale, NC. We are all gathering at Fred's brother, Eugene & Carolyn's house for the days of Christmas. Greg and Jeff, Amanda and Shelley, "The Nieces & Nephews." have not been together like this since Family Funerals back in 1996; that's just too long! Amanda has married Cory. and they have Parker. Greg has married Kelly, and they have Max and Ash. Jeff hopes his girl Deanna will come up with him. Shelley just wants to be there for all to enjoy her wonderful self, which is a wonderful thought! The little Guys have not met each other...YIPEE, kids for Christmas! We are planning lots of fun...we just can't wait! OH, and I think I found some tickets at a great price!
Our sister-in-law, Carolyn, had a pacemaker attached (is that the right way
to say it) yesterday. She was kept in the hospital over night. I have not heard yet whether she has been released today to go home. She was having a lot of irregulary heart-beating; the pacemaker will help her straighter that out. Hopefully that will give her back some of her energy and strength that an irregular heartbeat will sap from you. Keep her in your prayers!I am heading back to my chores. I just wanted to update my blog. I have not had a chance to do a puzzle in almost a week. Maybe tonight I can sit down and do some. If you are reading this and want something to challenge and stimulate your brain, try Shockwave's Daily Jigsaw Puzzle. It is my favorite game.

My goodness! We had no idea Aunt Carolyn had a pacemaker put in! I'm so glad she is through the procedure and is recovering! We will send her a note! I'm using lots of "!!" today!
Loved the pumpkin photos! We hope you had a nice Halloween! Also, thank you for helping search for the airline tickets, you are a lifesaver!
Nancy,
Congratulations on entering the computer age and thanks for sending me this link.
I do have my own blog, you can click on my name or photo here to take you to it. I like the fact that I can download short videos to the blog, it's so hard to send those in an e-mail. I'm not very good at keeping it updated, though.
I love hearing about Fred's latest role; some of the cemeteries here do something similar, Riverside Cemetery in Denver and another old one up in Boulder.
I hope Aunt Carolyn does well with her pacemaker, and glad to hear that you will be getting together with your grands for Christmas. My Michele and Matt have purchased their tickets already to come from Indiana.
I will be checking in on you from time to time. I won't comment on all your posts now, but stop by and visit me anytime!
Vicki in Denver...
