Life On The Other Side

Seems like the entries here are far and few in between. I am sorry for that and will try to be a little better this month. Well Halloween came and went without much whoop-de-do for us. We got a pumpkin to carve that has yet to see the glint of a knife and a bowl of candy that remains full sans a few pieces given out to some older trick-or-treaters. It’s difficult when you live in an apartment complex because of the turnover in residents. There is no established neighborhood to speak of and people don’t know one another. I have only met one of my neighbors who is an older woman that has been consistently gone over the last couple of months. Everyone else keeps to their own business like we do.

I have noticed that some of the trees are aflame with color now. We don’t get it as much here as you would in the mountains but we do get our share of the autumn colors. What a truly beautiful sight to see the reds and oranges of the leaves. I must remember to take a walk and pick some up to keep as well as take some pictures.

Today the hubby is 38 years old. I think he had a great birthday this year. We visited with his parents and his brother and sis-in-law over the weekend down in Georgia where all of us went out to dinner. Got got some gifts and even one from our cat (grin). Last night he and I went out to dinner since tonight he is at work and also had cake when we came home. He certainly doesn’t look a day over 30 and I suspect it will be many years before his looks ever catch up to his age. This morning he was reminiscing about his birthdays over the last couple of years and the wonderful things it has brought. Two years ago we “met” for the first time and who would have thought that one year ago we would be engaged at this time. This year, well, that particular wonderful thing cannot be talked about. I know the hubs feels like he is a lucky man.
