"As the world turns" in Winnemucca.

Hi All!

Well what have we been doin?
Not too much exciting goin on. I have been hauling top soil from out grass valley road to fill in the big ditch that was by the new brick wall my neighbor put in. It took 12 pickup loads !!
We took a drive up Hinkey awhile back. Drove up to Lye Creek Campground. Was a real nice day. Bette wanted to see the trees changing colors but we were a little late. A lot of the leaves were already down. It was a pretty and fun drive anyway.

On our way back we stopped by Winnemucca Farms where brother Roy was baling hay. (He is all finished haying now)
Other than that it's just been kinda work, come home, walk, kick back. My job is going well. I really enjoy getting home at 3:35 in the afternoon. I like the job a lot, its not a hard job and I get plenty of excercise. I kinda go at my own pace according to what I need to get done and create my own daily schedule. Besides my every day clean up, I do the ordering for the post office, I deliver express mail when the carriers are behind, I install cluster mail boxes when needed.( or when a car decides to run over one). I keep the lawn mowed, the trees trimmed, the grounds kept up. I do a lot of lock changes ( good to get out in the country). I reluctantly was made safety captain so I have to give a safety meeting once a week and insure that a safe environment is maintained for all employees. We have six mail trucks (LLV's - long lasting vehicles) that I have to assure that are keep maintained and serviced. I am very thankful that I have this job. At my age, it's perfect. Last week I completed my military buy back and recieved the papers the other day. It cost me $203.00 and now all of my time in the service goes to my retirement from the Post Office. So I now have over 5 years at the P.O. Enough about my job!! Bette is starting to get ready for Thanksgiving. I hope everyone knows that there is a standing invitation for all of our family to our house for the Holidays......ALWAYS!! We love you all and look forward to seeing any of you when we get the chance. Well I best go get something done....It's another nice day!! ............................... Love you all!

If Bette ever feels the need to take a year off and just relax, you two are always welcome at our house as well. Tina has been working very hard getting ready this year. We are having 12 people and 6 dogs this year. She loves it, but is pretty wiped out when its over. We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
 
The is always the standing invite to my house too. It is another state and different area to see at this time of year. I always seem to have way more food than needed but then I don't cook for a few days after wards. Love to you both
