Fall in full force!

Above, are some photos from one of the Cleveland Metroparks within walking distance from our office. As you can see, the fall colors are putting on a spectacular display. We have also had a lot of beautiful days and a few rainy days. The latter will hopefully no longer be too much of a concern for us, as, weather-permitting, our roof will be replaced on Monday! So far, the weather forecast looks favorable.....

As for the weekend, we were blessed with two sunny days. Even though the morning temperatures are close to freezing, the sunshine brings up the the temperatures to the 50's (10C). On Saturday morning, we dropped Liesel's car off for an oil change, and then Liesel and Nathan spent some quality time together at the library, and a new neighborhood ice cream store, where you select your ice-cream (from 16 flavors), and your toppings. Toppings include: all kinds of sauces, chocolate chips, nuts, brownies, cookies and the list goes on and on. Once your frozen creation is done, you go and pay for it by its weight!

On Sunday, we had a lazy start to the day, before getting ready for Church at 10:45. The afternoon included finishing the mowing that I started on Saturday, watching football and playing Mario Bros Super Slugger Baseball with Nath. Liesel prepared a delicious roast chicken for dinner, which we finished off with her signature dessert, Creme Brulee, while watching "The Amazing Race" who were racing through Africa! It was strange how similar Malawi looked to South Africa!
