Made braided bread late last night.  The big loaf is for Thanksgiving day!  Tomorrow I'll do the pies!!

The last colors of the season.  And this was only 2 weeks ago!  Now things are looking more like this:

Yesterday while walking Mattie a group of 4 fighter jets flew in formation overhead!!!  It was the coolest thing.  They just came from nowhere (actually, they were doing a fly-by for the Iowa Hawks game) out there in the woods! What a treat...

Friday!

Yay!  The weekend is here.  The above picture was taken a couple of weeks ago in the town where the John Deere house is.  I think there is a museum there too...just can't think of the town's name...Grand something....oh well.  It was a beautiful sunny day with nice shadows.

The church was built in 1849. 

There were lots of old homes there.
