Share your day October 2013

TWHRider - batton down the hatches and stay safe!!!

Jackie22 - I doubt the Mom's around here would let their kids eat any cookies they got for trick or treating. Too many allergies and bad stories about sickos putting stuff in them.

My son and his girlfriend arrive tonight for 6 days - YAY!!!!! He hasn't been home since August so I'm looking forward to catching up. Washing bedding is on my agenda today and some grocery shopping, then off to the airport to pick him up around 3 pm. He has put "dibs" on carving the pumpkin this afternoon. My world is always good when my children are close at hand.

Weather is nippy but sun is shining today. Rain in the forecast for the next few days, but I'm hoping it will clear enough for everyone to get in a ride while they are here.

Nothing quite like the excitement of seeing our babes, as they will always be to us. Wishing you a wonderful time with your family.
 

Today I took my brother to Blanchard Springs Cavern, then he treated me to lunch at a nice little restaurant on the river on the way back that has awesome food. We had a great day. It was just the two of us as Mr. O wanted to stay home and relax.

The drive was awesome, as the leaves are now in their glorious fall colors of bright red, orange and yellow. Dummy me, I forgot the camera, but am going to try to get out a bit tomorrow and take some pictures.

I have included a picture of the cavern, but in no way does it do it any justice. It is a breathtaking natural wonder phenomena. This is the second time I've been on the tour and have learned something different about the fascinating history each time. Below is a link, if you are ever up this way, it's a must see. It's located in the Ozark National Forest, and they have camping, fishing and wonderful hiking and biking trails around it.

What a great post and a place that I would love to see. Thx for the incredible link pix, I've never seen anything like it before. It's almost too much to take in.....and from another post re over using the word awesome, this place definitely qualifies as awesome! I would say you did have a great day!!! Can't believe hubby chose to stay home, but he's probably been there many times.
