Whoa! Nelly Bell. That's the phrase that seems appropriate to slow down life in order for me to get an October entry on the blog. The brain is a funny thing, When I thought of "Whoa! Nelly Bell" I thought, that's from a long time ago, like, a real long time ago. It was the name Roy Roger's buddy called his jeep. Then I thought, Dale Evans was Roy's girlfriend, Bullet was the name of his dog, he had a fancy saddle on his horse "Trigger". Then my mind thought of The Lone Ranger because he also named his horse, it was Silver, he didn't say "giddy up', he'd say "Hi ho Silver away" then somebody would say "who was that masked man?" Lone had a first nations friend named Tonto, the show was kind of ahead of it's time with a cowboy and first nations person as friends, the actor who played Tonto, Jay Silverheels was a first nations person. Then I thought of Bob Dylan, it's 6 am, I coming out of night brain. Dylan had a verse in a song:
The Lone Ranger and Tonto
were riding down the line
fixing everybody's troubles
everybody's except mine
someone must of told them
I was doin' fine
Like I said the brain is a funny thing when it comes to remembering, but it didn't remember to put in a blog entry on October first, I'm embarrassed.

P.S. I don't know when I would have remembered had I not received a notice someone in the U.K. was blocked when trying to access my account. I had given Louise my password to access the blog in case the Grim Reaper caught up to me on one of my walks. I guess Google was trying to look out for me.

I tried to move Louise's October 4th entry over but all her emojis turned out as question marks, I think Chris might do it, I hope.

Dear Loved,
Welcome back. Thank you, Lucy for reminding him. I never thought of doing that even as I wondered about his absence enough to text him to see where he was.
I love all your musings about the old westerns, Loved. Brought back lots of memories for me, too. How I enjoyed those old heroes. Way different from the current "super" types.
Love, BJ

We join Jacqui๐ฉ❤️๐จ, Jack and Davis๐ฌ, others in the family ๐ and your closest friends in wishing you a terrific Tuesday from beginning to end. ๐จ๐ผ๐ปYou will probably have to wait until the end of your workday to really savour the traditional treats that say, “Happy Birthday to you. ๐ถ๐๐ Enjoy all the reminders leading up to that moment of celebration๐.
Be happy, stay well and have fun at 51. ๐บ๐ป We’ll drink to that… cheers!๐ฅ๐ฅ

๐♀️Hi Edward,
Thanks for the entertaining introduction to the month of October๐. Your ‘night brain’ account mirrors the stream-of-consciousness activity that goes on in my own mind when my thoughts skip along too quickly for me to keep up. ๐ฐ In the end, you laughingly illustrate your point about the brain being a funny thing when it comes to remembering.๐ค
I have to say that I was a little disappointed that Google would not give me access to your introductory page of the blog❌. Of course, they were protecting you from a possible intruder๐ท. I had even prepared this timely observation:๐

I'm remembering the old little circles people used to put on their fridges with "to it" written on them, making them "a round to it." No excuses for not getting a round to thanking Louise for a great anniversary greeting. We had a weekend full of anniversary wishes and celebrations, I guess fifty is a big deal. Leaves you on the dance floor longer.
Thank you
Loved
๐Very funny, Edward. We have one of those round to its of our own stashed away somewhere๐ค. Anyway, we’re glad you and Deanie got our greeting๐ฉ❤️๐จ. We savoured the golden toast we raised on your anniversary day๐ฅ๐ฅ. Love your closing comment!๐ถ Keep on dancing, now.๐๐บ๐ป
