I guess Gil got chilly yesterday evening because I looked over and saw that he had pulled the fur throw off the back of the couch and covered himself.

Holiday Luncheon
My ladies group had the annual holiday luncheon this week. It was held at a very exclusive country club/golf course. Some of the members of the music appreciation group sang Christmas carols and others spoke about holiday traditions in their home countries. Of the 3 entrees offered, I chose the butternut squash ravioli (the vegetarian option). It was a nice day. Just so glad I'm not on the board any more and didn't have to do any of the planning!
Tree Lighting
Our little town had its tree lighting last weekend. After much singing of carols and introductions of local dignitaries, they flipped the switch and lit the tree. Then the fire truck arrived bringing Santa.
Thanksgiving
The boy and girlfriend were able to come down for Thanksgiving. We had a nice little party with games, music, food and tree decorating. Great fun!

Fall Walk and a Cute Return
Enjoyed a lovely fall day this weekend. Walked along the trail in Frenchtown, among other things.
When we got back, I looked all over for Gil, finally finding him in a little nest he had made in the boy's bed.

Bouman Stickney Farmstead Museum
Driving home on a back road today, we happened on to this open land/farmstead museum. The buildings weren't open, but you could walk around the property since it was open land.
I took a few pics and and set the timer for a few.
I didn't make it up the steps in time for the shot below.

Boy, Snake & Jack-o-lantern
Found this dead snake in the yarn. I think it's a Milk Snake.
Carved my pumpkin yesterday. Here it is al lit up for Halloween.
Alas, we had no trick or treaters. I hadn't expected any, so wasn't
too upset.
