WT's are on the road again. Mary spent some time in St. Louis, teaching classes at Jackman's Fabrics. The business has been in the same family for four generations, celebrating 105 years. Tee and Joan enjoyed an Elderhostel week in historic St. Charles. They visited the most haunted city in the country for a day, Alton, Illinois. They did not report ghostly sightings or unusual happenings. Lorraine was on a two week tour of New England, visiting historic sights, going through fourteen states and Canada. She came home to rest.
WT's Laurie, Emily and Irene are caring for and helping spouses who are dealing with illness. Naomi and Dorothy had knees repaired and are doing well. Nancy had a shoulder repaired during the summer. We are being helped with replacement parts and patching.
Our "Shopper" is advertising the coming local elections of a mayor and council members. We will watch the outcome with interest--a woman is running for mayor for the first time. The local bank reminds us to prepare for donations to the Christmas Hat and Mitten Tree. The Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts gathered 3,250 pounds of food for the local Food Shelf.
This is the week for Halloween parties and dances. We wish you good treats, especially chocolate.
