Sorry you couldn't get to Idaho. We were really looking forward to your visit. Hope you can make it sometime. Plans are getting deeper for Gary's business here and with only 7 months left in the service, plans are very definite to stay here. Reading your letter brought back a longing to see friends again but then we've made some really valuable friend here too.
Rick and Linda did come for 10 days. They may have mentioned something at the reunion. We visited Yellowstone and Sun Valley plus little things. We enjoyed ourselves a lot in spite of the fact that they are difficult guests because they're very fussy eaters.
Gary's out working on the van's body. He had hoped to finally get it painted this fall (the summer was so busy with camping and bike riding-- trials style) that he never found that time to do the finishing touches needed. Now it turns out the engine is throwing out so he figures it's time to get his money out of it instead of struggling through the cold weather for a new engine. He would like to pick up a second hand car for me to drive to work. I ride my bike in the summer but winter really requires a vehicle. Shame -- it would be really nice only to need on vehicle.
I'm happier in my job than ever. Working 3 1/2 days for 2 dentists. Takes the humdrum out of work when there's two offices -- lose fulltime benefits though. Both my dentists went elk hunting this week so I've been on vacation. We were hoping to visit an aunt in Canada (B.C.) or Disneyland but finances won't allow that. Gary just took a trip to Texas with his forthcoming partner to see the Suzuki '74 models. We'll be watching pennies closely for this business adventure. So glad we don't have a family to support although our golden retriever is having a litter Nov 9th or thereabouts!! We're going to take one dog to my sister's neighbor in Colorado Springs when we go down for Christmas. My sister came here last year so we're planning on the holiday there this year.
Is you social life getting complicated in wonderful Pittsburgh?
Had really good yields from my garden this year -- too much lettuce. This was the first year-- next year I'll know the right way.
Have been helping with the Brownie Girl Scouts this year and enjoying that. It has been taking 2 or more nights a week lately, but with Gary on a 4 to midnight schedule this month it's not too bad.
Fall has definitely set in. We won't have the tree splendor like there but the trees will lose their leaves with little ceremony.
Well, need to get us some lunch before we starve! Take care.
