Just in time for Halloween, Mother's room at Concord Place is being invaded by creepy bugs. She's the lucky one - none of the other rooms are having this problem. I think there must be a significant gap in her window system somewhere. Uncle Fritz and Aunt Ruth visited yesterday, and they spent the whole time squishing bugs. Today I did the same. I talked to Linda and Maybelle about it and they contacted maintenance who contacted pest control. We'll see how quickly something happens. I was seriously tempted to run over to Tom's and buy a can of Raid, but I was afraid of breaking some kind of rule regarding pesticides inside the residence. They are just box elder bugs, so they're harmless - but it's still very creepy. See link above.
Sniders are coming tomorrow! Our house is all clean and shiny in preparation. We're all going to the Williamsburg Dinner Theater tomorrow night. It should be a lot of fun. I just called in our orders, and Dominic himself answered the phone. He puts on a good show.
We took steps toward winterizing the motor on the pontoon boat, but the battery was dead, so it will wait for another day.

We used to have those bugs at CQ in the old building (well, 2 buildings ago for me now). They *are* creepy, and there are so many of them! They used to all get into the overhead flourescent lights and you would look up and see dozens of them crawling around or dead.
Poor Grandma!!
