Dear Deer

Caleb and Charlotte brought my attention to the visitors in their back yard yesterday morning. The kids also saw the mother nearby. We were able to get a picture before Pan and Sylvie started barking and the fawns fled. The good news is I was not driving so it was no stress for me - the deer are lovely when the fear of hitting them is not present.


While the deer played in neighborhood backyards, we played Unstable Unicorns and Life. I won Life with $1.5 million dollars; Caleb was second at $1.1 million and Charlotte was only $10,000 less than the $1.1 million. Please note we all became millionaires. My career was in technical support, Caleb was a sheriff, Charlotte was an artist. Both Caleb and Charlotte chose the college path, while I chose the career path. Everyone is forced to get married in the game and everyone has to buy a house. Charlotte and I both landed on spots and had children. Caleb did not have any children so when he landed on a spot that had to do with being a grandparent, he insisted that he had no children so could not be a grandparent. 

I told him maybe his wife was married before and had a grown child who in turn had a baby. He looked at me like I was nuts. 

In the evening, Joe and I drove back to Riverside Park in Rockford to attend a Volunteer Appreciation event for volunteers and their families. There were about eighty people in attendance. I was happy to see Jean, Steve, Karen, Paula, and three other volunteers from the thrift store days. I was happy to introduce Joe to them. Once the grandkids go back to school in September, I may start going in on Thursday mornings to volunteer for three hours.

On the way back from Rockford at dusk we spotted three deer in a field. It was my first deer spotting while we were driving this summer.

It was a busy and fun day. I wonder if Amazon would let me use the $1.5 million Life money. Hmmm…

Goodbye leaves! About 90% of the leaves are off of the trees in the neighborhood. Our Maple out front still has leaves but almost all of the...
