Lovely weather

We had a good night's sleep Friday on the air mattress Tom had bought for us. We were up and on the road by 8 the next morning. It was a gorgeous colorful day to drive through the mountains. The peak of color should be next weekend, and we hope the much needed rain will be gentle enough that the leaves will not be knocked off the trees. We had hoped to stop and have lunch at a recommended restaurant in Franklin, but it hadn't opened. We stopped at Pizza Hut instead for a personal pan. We did stop at the Food Lion there and bought some Matthew Fox wine that I like. We can take it to Texas. It is strange to say that because it is so close to the departure date. During the afternoon Evelyn finished the cake and iced it for tomorrow's German dinner. I unloaded the car and loaded the refrigerator with beer for our guests tomorrow while watching Purdue crush Minnesota in football. I sure hope they can win 3 more games, making them bowl eligible. We relaxed some of the afternoon and went to the square dance in the evening. Evelyn spent much of the dance time talking with Emily, but I danced with other women. I tried to check some of our credit card receipts, but my air card was not functioning. I did get to watch Nebraska pummel Ohio State. (sorry, Tom) Now I must see if this will publish.
