A couple of things happened, including a heartbreaking loss on the football field by Curly's team. It's hard to believe that for most of us, the football season is over. Only Taco's team won their game today and they will be advancing to the finals next week.

| Cheering a few weeks ago |
That means cheer is over for my cute Baby Doll as well. She cried this morning when I told her she wouldn't be able to go to the football game because she had Nutcracker rehearsal. Her cheer coach has promised to help her with more tumbling in the future, but it is not the same.
The Dog Walker had the day off for the ward party tonight so he could help with the setup. Attendance was light and somewhat disappointing for all of us. Our ward is different. We have new blood in part of it, but my street is mostly empty-nesters and even those keep leaving us and moving out. It's not like the good ol' days when we moved in and there were so many kids you could hardly make your way through the gym to the dessert table.
Most notably missing was Puppy Lover, Dog Walker's wife. She has been struggling and felt that maybe she needed to spend a little time with her own family. The Dog Walker is pragmatic and although he misses her, he insists that they love each other and this is simply a chance for her to feel better and she will be home with us soon. Her parents are still driving her all this way so she doesn't lose her job, and that is encouraging. She has been gone for a little over a week now and we are all feeling the winds of change.
Hopefully November will bring us all a little more stability.... and basketball...

Sorry that your football moments are pretty much over. I love that Baby Doll could cheer. Sorry about the ward activity. Our ward has had changes too. Sometimes, we get such a good turn out and other times not.
Hope all goes well with Dog Walker and Cat Lover; I’m sure it will.
Blessings and hugs for all!
