    Sounds like a great time. Tired of cake?! Oh No!
    I haven'had coffee yet...doing the cleanse again. Not sure if I can take a body that's in it's 40's and get it back to how it was in my 20's, but I can try.

    Apparently I wasn't invited to the event of the year... What fun! Except for the towel part. :)

    Blessings, Debbie

    What a great weekend! Sounds like you had a wonderful time.

    And you're right, you can never have too many tomatoes (or cake!).

    is that a wild turtle? how big is it? that's awesome!

    and, yes, you can have too many tomatoes....I raided my mom's garden as a kid, ate a bunch like they were apples and spent the next week covered head to toe in giant hives....on a road trip across 4 states....I was miserable!!!!!

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

  Good morning! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
