Tuesday, October 11, 2022 Apparently, we don’t have eyes. Our roof has hail damage, so we are looking at getting a new roof. Keith got samples of the roofing material, so we can pick out the color we want. We looked at the samples and said, “Obviously not black, because our house is brown.” We

Monday, October 10, 2022 It was a glorious, warm sunny day, so Keith and I jumped in the car to go look at pretty leaves. We went east. Meh. We went south. Green (duh). We went north. Yay! We decided to go to the Patriot’s Tavern (Patriot was on my US history vocabulary list today
