An Update...On a Saturday...in Southern Illinois

Haunted Chittyville Schoolhouse

Well, so Lilly and Marie (her friend) weren't very impressed with the haunted schoolhouse. Took 20 minutes waiting in line to go 20 minutes through the semi-scarry haunting experience; all for $12.00. They agreed it was a waste of money. Chittyville must have a good PR person...website proclaimed more than it was. Oh, well.

Other Stuff

First quarter ended and Beth got A's and B's, Lilly got A's and B's and one C+. For them, it is a great start of the year! Not much else to say about that, other than keep up the good work girls.

We've been checking out the fall colors, although it rained this week, so lots of leaves are on the ground now. Our Crab Orchard Lake tour was probably the best we'll get this fall.



We've been fighting fleas and other bugs trying to get into the warm house. So, we had to go all out and use the flea defogger, and Advantix the cats. Bethany and I get all the bites. Lilly and Jim seem to be immune to them. Now, the laundry room is loaded. Even all the bedding has to be washed.

This coming week will be filled with more haunting jaunts, getting out winter clothes and putting away summer ones, being sure the lawn is set for the winter, etc.

See a few current shots.. sorry, I'm camera shy!
