Debbie had Halloween decorations on the porch and inside too. Even though the lights were on last night, no one came. This place is a little out of the way. This is a large magnifying mirror. I have never seen one so large. Dual 1x-8x Magnification.

This mirror was a complete surprise. After Church Debbie and Kent and Erik surprised me. I wasn't here on my birthday so they surprised me with this great mirror. I just absolutely love it. I can see every wrinkle and bump I need to cover. Erik got me a real "cool" grandmother card and Debbie and Kent got me a card too. Then, of course, I had a birthday at Donna and Laif's too. Donna had given some earrings and I got a card from Donna and Laif. I can see real well where the holes are in my ears to put my earrings on. The mirror is lighted and it advertises that it is natural daylight. Donna's neighbor, Marge, brought me a card and a really rich small cake which I shared with Donna. I really have wonderful children and son-in-laws and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The neat thing is that I am still able to pretty well take care of myself and I still enjoy life. So I guess 82 isn't so bad after all.

While I was at Donna's we were looking at the newspaper where someone had taken a picture of a Black bear. Earlier I had written on my blog about the Black bear that was out by the clothesline in Bonney Lake and Donna reminded me that after we discovered that it was a bear we all went into the house. I had forgetten until Donna mentioned it how afraid Debbie was. She was crying and telling us to close all the windows and lock the doors. Maybe I read "Little Red Riding Hood" to her too much.

In Church again today the Bishop was talking about the seriousness of possible flooding in the Valley from the Green River because the Howard Hanson Dam needs work and may not be able to control the flooding. It may not happen this winter but it could happen another winter. Being prepared is the best thing you can do.
