Dale came up today & he made some candy & we did the dishes. Its cold today. Had a real good dinner today. Ruby, Roy & Babs came out tonite & we played peny bingo. Jimmy is home – over at Grandma’s Got here this morn. Stays till the 17^th.

It IS cold today. One of the coldest we’ve had so far yet this fall. I’m not really looking forward to winter coming on.

Penny Bingo sounds like a good way to while away an evening after a good dinner, though.

We used to play Bingo a lot when we were little, but we didn’t play with pennies or for pennies. We played strictly for the thrill of the victory! In fact, I didn’t even realize you could play Bingo for money until I was much older — (sheltered life, I guess).

Apparently, I’m not the only one in my family who didn’t know too much about Bingo, though, because our cousin, Deno, had never played a Bingo game in his life until my sister and I made him try it at the tractor show one summer. You can read that story HERE — it’s hysterical!

And if you’re anywhere near the Brunswick, Missouri, area today, come on out for the Brunswick Pecan Festival. It’s always a really good time, and our guild is having a quilt show in conjunction with it, as usual. There’s lots to see and do — just be sure and bring a jacket!
