I'm sure Bill is glad he doesn't have to blow out 67 candles!
After a good dinner we all went out to enjoy the outdoors.
The grandchildren also were preparing for Halloween and showed off their costumes.

The 2nd event, on the 15th, was not celebrated. That was the date of Bill's accident last year. We didn't mention it so I don't know whether he remembered or not but it wasn't something any of us wanted to think about.
Bill's sister, Quynh, came to visit on the 11th and was here for a week. Adam was good enough to pick her up at the airport for us. We had a great visit. Tami and Adam were here most nights to spend time with her and Kendra came for the day with Rory and Archer on the 17th.
Quynh with Archer (and a loaf of French bread). He's eyeing that bread, what is he thinking?
Well, now we know, do you think he might be hungry?
Quynh was so good with the kids, they loved her. She was also good for her brother. She made sure he did his exercises every day and kept him on his toes--well, almost. Since she was here on a Sunday she also got to see her brother singing in the church choir. It all helped her to see how much he has been improving since her last visit in April. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and Quynh had to return home. Tami came by early this morning and carried her to the airport before work. Now it's quiet again and we're getting back to our regular routine. It has been an ugly day so we haven't gone outside. Besides being rainy, it has been chilly. 49 degree high today after being in the 80s yesterday! Bill has been sitting in front of the fireplace all afternoon and evening to warm up.
