Monday, Oct. 14

2:05 p.m. - It's always hard for me to drive back home alone listening to the radio from Columbus Day Weekend in the Fort Madison area having visited Carmen, Tyler, and now Caleb.  The entire ride home I'm just saddened at reflecting on regrets and mistakes and wondering about what might be if I had been "A Better Man" - one of the songs that conveniently came on the radio about halfway through the drive.  Maybe I should just stop listening to the radio when I'm driving by myself.

We had a nice weekend.  The weather cooperated.  We got to the two harvest places (pumpkin patches) that we normally like to visit, and we got in some good campground time.  I also took Amber to get some stuff at WalMart and we went to the casino.  And each day we were able to spend a little time with Caleb.  

Today it was get back home and write out some bills.  I think I'm going to spend the afternoon moving stuff around in the shed to get ready to close down the pool.
