Pumpkin Pie

Our quest today was to find a homemade pumpkin pie for Penny. We showed up promptly at the 9 AM start of the church bake sale and 5 minutes later we were headed back to the car with not 1 but 2 pies. We got a pumpkin and a cherry pie. That means we have 2 1/3 pies to eat in 4 days. We still have some of the apple pie to finish. Pies have been a daily event in our last 2 trips.

We did a half-day of leaf peeping then returned to the cabin and relaxed, watching some college football before going to church.

I haven’t made any plans for the next couple days here. We have done everything we wanted to do—so now anything else is gravy. It is supposed to be nice weather, so we will get up tomorrow and do whatever we want to.

Here is a sample of today’s pictures:





We went back to "Joe's" bridge today. It's the suspension bridge that Joe spied when we were here in the summertime. Here is what the area looks like in autumn.


After watching the economy tank this week Penny and I figure this is our last trip for a while. We intentionally did a lot this year—using our frequent flyer miles and traveling because we expected things to worsen. I didn’t expect to see us lose so much of our investments so quickly, however.
