Beautiful day again.....an the trees were looking extra glorious with all the sunshine. Mark and I stopped at Dunkin Donuts this morning and with donuts an a pumpkin spice latte in hand, we were on our way by 7:05. Stopped in Mendota to see Linda and had donuts and coffee/tea. Then caught up with Bob out in the field an gave him a donut and chatted briefly On to the cemetery in Sublette and put a fall basket on Mom and Dad's graves.

Had a good visit with Mark's Mom and then Sue (Mark's sister) and Tom joined us for lunch and more yakkin' at Town and Country - good time. Beautiful day for traveling thru the country and watching all the harvesting going on, and oohing and aahing over the spectacular trees.
More fall beauty in the country not far from where I grew up...
However, on our way home, I was munching on some almonds and....broke off a piece of tooth. I took Mark to pick up Daisy and then headed straight to the dentist. That place was a zoo, and they told me to come back at 5:00 as there were still several patients to see. Got in at 5:30 and will need a crown - aaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!! However, I had been told 6 months ago that this tooth was eventually going to need a crown, so just a matter of time. Of course, the day before I'm leaving on a 5-day trip was not the best, but they put some kind of cement-type gunk and I should be good to go till I am back home and can have a temporary crown put on. They are booked solid for next several weeks, so waiting, hoping for cancellation???
Mark picked the boys up from school as Anne had to work till 6. Patrick is working 2nd shift for several weeks. Finished up the packing and we'll be ready to roll outta here early morning. Jane is coming from Peoria. Mark will take us to Midway for our flight to Phoenix and he will go onto O'Hare and fly off to DC.
Bye bye
