Bob: Bonnie and I walked this morning for about 30 minutes and then I went for another 30. The weather was cool this morning. Fall seems to be in the air, although it should be close to 70 tomorrow. When we got up this morning our internet was down and I couldn't get the local temps.
The internet repairman came around and said there has to be something wrong in our apartment. He checked the monitor for our connection and said we were getting over a 1000 T4 errors per day. A single T4 error is rare he said. When he took the old cable out he said the installer had used the wrong type of staples to tack the cable down. Metal staples instead of plastic were used. He explained that the metal can penetrate the cable wire and arc the copper wire inside thus disrupting the signal. He also replaced the modem and now everything seems to be fine. Asked him about sharing a message with him about eternal families, but he wouldn't do so.
Went to Englehart to see Sister Cushman as she had a slight heart attack. She is back in the nursing home and seems to be healing okay.
Stopped at three other places. Spouses were home at two of them, but we didn't get to see the actual member. Mr. Duffy said we could come back. The other spouse said that her husband is working above Timmins  and won't be home for at least a couple more weeks.
Activity night went really well. We played 'The Great Dalmuti' and every one seemed to enjoy it.
Time for bed. Love to all and good night brothers.

Bonnie: We saw some beautiful country today, with the rich fall colors beginning to show themselves. Really a lovely day.
At Activity Night we had some first-timers, a single sister and a couple. We think they had a good time. Sister Margetson is the Poet Laureate of Cobalt. We began by talking about the parable of the talents, and what it means, and then Ann talked about poetry and shared some poems of hers. We ended the discussion by writing our own haiku poems and sharing them with each other. Then we played the "Great Dalmuti". It was a blast to see the Elders wearing Ann's hat! She brought one of her Red Hat Society hats--full of flowers and other ornaments in purples and reds. There were some other fun hats, too. We have two single adults that are regular attenders, which is wonderful. All in all it was an enjoyable time.
Sleep well everyone. May tomorrow bring blessings to all of us!
Love, Mom/Bonnie
