September 21 to September 28, Tammy and I along with her parents and brother rented a condo at Beach Colony on Perdido Beach to visit with Lizzy at PCC. We flew down to Pensacola, rented a car, and ended up traveling over 500 miles that week going back and forth - forth and back. The first few days' weather was a little less than ideal, but then improved allowing for morning and evening walks on the beach. One day, we even saw a turtle in the ocean.
The day we arrived back to CT on September 28, my work had its annual banquet at the Crowne Plaza in Cromwell celebrating 44 years of being on the air. Greg Yoder from Mission Network News (http://www.mnnonline.org) was the guest speaker and Christopher Adams, the Singing Chaplain, provided the evening's music.
October 5, we went apple picking at Johnny Appleseed in Ellington. We picked enough apples to make 9 apple pies, 5 apple crisps, and froze enough to make 4 more pies during the holidays. It took 4 hours to peel, core, and cut up the apples -- mainly because our apple corer, peeler, slicer broke and only peels now. Everything but one apple crisp was given away.
October 11, Tammy and I went shopping to get items for Operation Christmas Child ( http://www.samaritanspurse.org/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/). We filled three shoe boxes -- two for boys ages 5-9 and one for a girl 5-9. These along with the Gospel message will eventually be delivered to somewhere in the world.
A trip of several days to Montreal to visit its Biodome and Botanical Gardens and take a six hour walking tour of the city is next on our horizon.

You guys seem to be keeping busy with an empty house! Next on your trip calendar should be Indianapolis - there is a ton of fun things to do here.
