A short one this morning from BB

Thanks for the latest notes from CO, East Troy and ID--
and news learned in recent phone visits.

Took a few minutes to load and watch Freya and Matt.
Quite a tussle. Glad for Bridget's improvement! Snow in ID and CO, and our leaves have hardly begun to fall!

Spent yesterday in Madison at a Symposium on Macular Degeration. A worthwhil event sponsored by UW Hospital Opthalmoology Dept and some WI groups associated with national assitantance for the visually
impaired. Not much new on Mom's condition, but some interesting presentations on nationwide research. Had hoped to take the RV and go to Devils' Lake overnight and see the Melkas. Rain made us change our mind and drive the Focus, and we did go to Baraboo and had dinner with Maura at Culvers--
Alex working and Tim didn't feel up to going out.
Home safely about 9 PM.

A reminder, Mom would really appreciate it if you could, after choosing a font, go to the right and give the TT and click down to the LARGEST and then click the b for BOLD. Just be a BOLD blogger.......

Most of you had some connection with members of the Kascht family members at Catholic Memorial. An article in the Journal Sentinel on Sunday 10/12 in the Waukesha section featured a gathering which was held to honor Dr. Bob for the publishing of his memoirs, "Good Genes, Luck, Lots of Prayers". A number of pictures are included. I think you can probably pull it up on 'jsonline'. We'll save it and send it to any one who would like to see it. Perhaps we could start it and you could send it along to another sibling. I have reserved a copy from the Federated Library system and learn whether he includes any of his grade school days at St. John's in Waterloo where he was 2 years ahead of me.

Rain this AM, so may not be able to finish spray painting the garage (barn). Have the north side to do. Did the other 3 sides on Saturday and worked on trim for a while on Sunday and Monday. Using the same "old" dark brown. Still wonder what it would look like painted red with white trim??? Grandma vetoed that, you may remember.

Have a tentative date to be with Mark, Domino, Calvin and Capri somewhere on the evening of 10/22.

Praying for all of you as you deal with your concerns, projects, health, jobs and school work.

Love and prayers,

Grandma and Grandpa
