Happy Halloween

Hello,
Not much going on in Calgary. The weather has been pretty nice and it was probably the nicest Halloween weather I have ever witnessed. We had about 30-40 kids come by the house this year, mostly really little ones with absolutely adorable costumes. They really liked seeing the cats at the door and one girl even thanked the kitty for her treat. Mike and I took it easy all weekend and got a lot done around the house. We put away all the outside stuff (chairs, marshmallow sticks, etc.) and cleaned the house from top to bottom. Trying to get rid of as much dust as possible for Gordon. We moved all the furniture and vacuumed just about everywhere. Gordon went to the vet this week and he gave him a shot to relieve his itching. It should last for about 3 months and then we go back to another shot. So far it seems to be working. He has been pretty calm and not as itchy the last few days. Our fingers are crossed because we seem to be running out of options. If it isn't dust allergies it could be OCD, which could be a lot more difficult to treat. I have been working on report cards the last few days, trying to get ahead. I am still not feeling very well - started off as a cough and sinuses, but now I have a sore throat :( Mike has been busy watching all the sports he possibly can - BORING! Baseball, hockey and basketball. Although it does give me time to focus and get some work done. Mike and I headed to the Farmers' Market this morning and got a huge bag of vegetables. We were done all our running around by 9:30. Gotta love the time change :) I'm off to bed and Mike is watching his Canucks and the World Series. Hope everyone had a good weekend.
Mike and Mel
