The last hot days of summer are coming to an end which means that I could go for walks at any time of the day now. Belle, (the family dog), and I are best friends because of this, and probably because I feed her people food… don’t tell Evelyn!

My last blog I told you about the lizard that made his home in my bathroom. Well, the other day Evelyn opened the front door and a bobcat came walking across the porch less than a foot away from her. She quickly shut the door, and ran for her camera. We have seen this bobcat before when we were walking. Jim and Sarah took these pictures of the cat sitting on a rock next to garage, waiting for a rabbit that was hiding in the bushes.
Rosie and Dave came for a week visit in October while Jim and Evelyn worked on their house in Escalante. We had a great time visiting and just being together. While she was here Rosie helped me call my old roommate from high school—Rosemary Belliston. We were roommates and best friends, we since exchange letters all these years.

I look forward to the holidays when I can see more family and hear from you all. Evelyn and I are working a Christmas gift for each of you. I hope you will enjoy it.
I am doing well physically too! I go to the doctor, he says I am in good health and have really strong bones. I hope that I have passed this trait on!
Finally, I realized that I didn’t tell you why I named my blog the Last Chance Motel. Randal and I began building the motel in the spring of 1955; and opened it in August of 1956. The name has a double meaning. First, the motel was our “Last Chance” to make a living and the Last Chance for travelers to find a bed before heading down the road. Since then the motel has had two other name The Escalantan and then The Padre.
Love you all, Be Sweet Grandma
PS Please send me pictures of the kids in their costumes. It would make my day to see them!
