Just to get outdoors

What a great weekend. Nothing like camping in the Midwest; changing colors, great weather (meaning cool to cold) and good fellowship. Found out you can use Jewel discount card at Dominick's and Dominick's Fresh card at Jewel - ain't that crazy. Project 108 is winding down and Katie cut her hair short. Need to get a hold of the Saps, listening to tapes Mr. P made for a good friend brought me back to the olden days.

We have Ass...ter

Thanks to a good friend (John O.) I have now planted New England Aster aster novae-angliae (Asteraceae). The first step in the Native Illinois plant program. We'll see how far we get. As most people know - I have no idea what I am doing. Surprise. The way I see it, this is one big experiment. Meanwhile, ran a 5K without causing myself too much pain and almost saw a Fire game on Saturday. Spent some money on house stuff and started getting ready for the cruise. Talked to the P's before they left on their cruise to Alaska - so cool.
