Well, Sparty was reprieved by the weather. Friday night was thunderstorms, and Saturday we had a windstorm. But at least UM beat MSU in the football game.

On Saturday, Steven helped me get two big pumpkins, which are out on our porch along with Templeton. We won't be carving them, no time, but at least we have them.  I also got the candy for the little ones. It's so cold out, I don't know how many kids will be coming by, though...

I am awaiting a check from my father's estate, which will be coming any day now. It's for something around $80,000. I will be giving away every penny later this week. I do not want the money -- I want my father.
