This is the side by Alice......it hooks into her fence.
This is the Fleetwood Dr. side........
This is the gate on the Fleetwood Drive side...notice I had to decorate the gates post-haste!Charlie likes to go out, but so far he wants someone to go out with him! The fence was built by Amerifence http://www.amerifenceusa.com/. They did a super job and were so nice.
It was great to have Tim and Nancy down from Alaska! They brought Dad Rupp from Fort Wayne with them,too!
Here are the guys after their morning walk with Charlie. Dad and I had a bit of time to discuss Proverbs 8. It's so neat to talk to Dad about the Bible. He confirmed my thoughts about "Wisdom" in this chapter is talking about "Jesus". I just love to hear him talk about the Bible. At 89, he is so sharp on God's word! The men headed off to the Eiteljorg Museum for the day. They had a great time, and also had lunch at the Museum...(It is a museum of the American Indian and the West.) I can just imagine them reading every plaque! I usually just like to get the visual, and not read everything! Nancy and I had our own happy day planned......
Nancy and I went to Quilts Plus, the #1 voted quilt shop in Indy. Then we went to Zionsville for some shopping in cute shops. We ended our time at the Sweet Shop in Carmel having a red velvet cupcake and coffee. (Cupcakes there are baked by Rhianna that works part time at Pottery Barn!) Nancy has taken up quilting...it is great to hear her talk about all her projects. She is donating her latest quilt to a homeless shelter type place in Anchorage. Nancy is very inspiring...she is now the "shopper" for a food pantry in Eagle River. She is involved in ministering to women at her church, too. Thanks for the inspiration, Nancy....reminds me of a Life on Loan! 
Mark cut down a tree today that was near where our new fence is going. Alice wanted it down, she mentioned it to Mark this morning and he went out and cut it down!! He did a great job, it was scary. He put a rope on it and pulled it down after he had cut it almost down. He put it right between trees and the house. It was about 25' high. I was washing windows today...Pottery Barn didn't need me....It was a beautiful day. I got almost all of the outside ones done, I forgot about the high ones in the back...Oh well, the trees cover them! I can't believe how I enjoy clean windows! I used to be too busy to even realize how beautiful they are when they are clean. I also made a coffee cake, and an apple pie. Mom has been tutoring me on pie crust! (no Pillsbury crust this time!) Company coming tomorrow: Tim and Nancy (Mark's brother and sister in law from Alaska, and Dad Rupp....
Grace is learning to drive! She is in driver's ed. We practiced driving down at Mom and Dad's. They have a new subdivision behind their house with nice wide roads. The subdivision connects to another subdivision so there's some room to drive a bit. She's coming right along! It was fun to help her in my little car!
What a beautiful day it was at Joe Huber's on the weekend. Our traditional fall happy family weekend was wonderful. We went earlier in the season this year and the pumpkins were plentiful! We hopped off the wagon picked up a pumpkin and hopped back on. Mom wondered if we were just getting older and didn't want to walk as much! I'm sure it was because there were so many beautiful pumpkins everywhere!!! Mark is posing with our pumpkin. I wish I had gotten more than one! Mom and Dad always treat us to a big chicken & ham dinner in the dining room. Their food is so good! http://www.joehubers.com/ They have a very nice website.....more pictures later.....
