Family is Everything...
We bicycled again...
We take a photo of us together
in the mirror when no one
else is at the exercise room
when we are.
We are thankful for the
handicap ramp,
and thankful when
no one parks their
bicycle there.
We know these warm autumn
days are about to come to an end.
We were delighted to have Kimble
and Carter come to talk with
us after they took Riggy
swimming with them in
the residential natural-
hot-springs pool.
Kimble flew in from New Jersey
last night to be here a week
with his brother before
Carter is gone for
two years.

We watched
"The Bride of Frankenstein"
from 1935. Gary said it was
one of the first sequels.
Information from Wikipedia:
"Bride of Frankenstein is a 1935 American science-fiction horror film, the first sequel to Universal Pictures' 1931 hit Frankenstein. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest sequels in cinematic history, with many fans and critics considering it to be an improvement on the original Frankenstein. As with the first film, Bride of Frankenstein was directed by James Whale and stars Boris Karloff as the Monster.[3] The sequel features Elsa Lanchester [who in true life is the wife of the actor Charles Lawton] in the dual role of Mary Shelley and the Monster's mate at the end of the film. Colin Clive reprises his role as Henry Frankenstein, and Ernest Thesiger plays the role of Doctor Septimus Pretorius.
"The movie starts as an immediate sequel to the events that concluded the earlier film, and is rooted in a subplot of the original Mary Shelley novel, Frankenstein (1818). In the film, a chastened Henry Frankenstein abandons his plans to create life, only to be tempted and finally coerced by his old mentor Dr. Pretorius, along with threats from the Monster, into constructing a mate for the Monster.
"The preparation to film the sequel began shortly after the premiere of the first film, but script problems delayed the project. Principal photography began in January 1935, with creative personnel from the original returning in front of and behind the camera. Bride of Frankenstein was released to critical and popular acclaim, although it encountered difficulties with some state and national censorship boards. Since its release the film's reputation has grown, and it has been hailed as Whale's masterpiece. In 1998, the film was added to the United States National Film Registry, having been deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.".

Family is Everything...
I was working late Friday night to
catch my blog up, and hit something
on the photos on my
cell phone and it deleted
all my photos for the
past three days,
except for one from
tonight's ward party.
We did bicycle this afternoon.
Here's the photo from the
Saratoga Springs 3rd Ward
Fall Festival Chili Cookoff
...I don't know who won.
I had some fun photos from the
party tonight. We enjoyed
sitting by Bishop Mardesich's
Dad and Mom--
Joe and MaryAnn Mardesich
who had just gotten back today
from her 60-year class reunion
in San Pedro, California.
It was great to get to know
them better.
Judy Duntson also sat by
us, and we always love
talking with Judy.
Then, later, Linda Hartley,
came in from outside and
sat with us. She is such a
sweetheart. She went over
and had Art McOmber come
over and sit by us while Mark
was outside helping his two
grandchildren join in the
activities for the kids.
