There’s so much to love about October: Cooling temperatures, changing leaves, pumpkin everything, and best of all, my birthday!
Yes, October is most likely the best month of all, and even though my date of birth comes early (Oct. 5), I celebrate all month long. I’m like a little kid in an old lady’s body. Fortunately, my dance card for the month is pretty full, so even though I’m too old to be the belle of the ball, I’ll at least have an invitation to the party.
Studly and I are going to Dallas for a few days. He’s going to play in a member/guest golf tournament with our son. I’ll hang out with my grandkids while the men play golf. Long distance grand parenting stinks sometimes because we don’t get to be there for every sporting event and music performance, but while in Dallas I’ll get to watch our eldest grandchild, Dominique, play in a varsity tennis tournament and Jackson, our youngest grandson, play baseball. Yay me!
The golf tournament concludes with a dinner for golfers and their dates on Saturday evening. As far as I know, I’m Studly’s date. I found a dress for the soirée, and I’m actually trading my flip flops for heels for one night and one night only. I’ll try to remember to take a picture; otherwise, no one who knows me will believe it happened. I practiced walking in the heels this afternoon. No one was injured in the process. The cats were wide-eyed and leery.
While Studly has to head home on Sunday, I’m planning on staying on for a few days. I’m going to a rally for Beto O’Rourke in Dallas on Sunday afternoon and attending a Bishop Briggs concert with my son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter on Thursday. I’ll fly home on the 12th. Whew!
Then one of my very best friends is set to visit on the 26th of October. She is traveling through Florida on a leisurely solo trip, and I am so looking forward to having her spend some time with us at Doright Manor.
Oh, my daughter’s birthday is the 27th of October. She was and remains by far the best gift I ever received during my birthday month. I’ll even share my birthday month with her. That’s love.
Peace, people!

Have a lovely time Leslie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It’s a long drive! Left early this morning and only half way there. Of course I’ve had to stop for bathroom breaks every hour or so.

My human’s birthday is also in October. She says she’s never met a Libra she didn’t like! Enjoy all of the fun things you have planned for your birthday month!

Apparently the best people have October birthdays (my wife has hers later in the month). Good on you for plans to attend a Beto rally. I’ll be there with you in sprit. Travel safe! – Marty

We’re traveling through New Orleans as I type this. (4:06 p.m.) Hair raising traffic.

Here in Los Angeles one month is pretty much the same as the next. Thank heavens for the Peanuts specials on tv to remind us. Nevertheless, happy birthday, Nan!

I currently live in the panhandle of Florida, and while our weather is typically warm, we do have some seasonal changes.
