It's Fall Ya'll!

Oh yes it is! 

I know that the humidity today was disgusting, and the heat was rather...um, well...HOT, but it IS Fall.  I know it because my calendar tells me so. :)


So, I climbed up into the attic and found my box of Fall Decor and (after changing out of my sweltering clothing from being in the attic), I began decorating my home.

I hung my Fall wreath on my door, placed some cute ceramic pumpkins on the doorstep, changed out the silk arrangements around my house from "summer" to "fall" colors.  I go pretty subtle for Fall, just a touch here and there to usher in this season that is so sadly overlooked at times.

Just a few things here and there, to give me the "feeling" that should accompany this time of year.

It's also time for this...

Punkin Bread, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Cherry-Berry Swirl Bread, Pumpkin Pancakes, Pumpkin Cake, Pumpkin Cheesecake bars, or even Pumpkin Soup....oh the endless possibilities!

Oh, and let's not forget all the yummy warm meals that accompany this time of years....IF you live in a cooler state OR have a good A/C... :)

Kathy's Chipotle Chili Chili, Debbies Chicken Tortilla Soup, Chicken N' Dumplin's, Pasta e Fagioli, ....

 

Speaking of baking...have you seen this?

It's missing.  Yup.  I know.  Weird.

I am not a disorganized person.  I don't even have a cluttered home (usually).  Everything has a place and "most" of the time, everything is in it's proper place.  But would you believe I reached for this cookie sheet the other day (I have two, thus the photo is it's twin), and it was gone.  I have NO idea where on earth I would put a cookie sheet.


If you have any insightful suggestions of where I should look, please do share...I have not a clue!


I have looked in the cabinet where I keep all the baking sheets, I have looked in the drawer under the stove, I have looked in all the cabinets that it should not be in, but could have mistakenly ended up in, I have looked on the porch (just sayin')...Any ideas friends?  I am at a loss...

Have a beautiful, Jesus filled day!

Monday Mish-Mash!

Hello  and Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a fun, refreshing weekend! :)

Well, here it is Monday, and I have a little bit of this and a little bit of that to share...

At what moment in time did "Girl Day" consist of trying on reading glasses at the dollar store????

Where is the video camera when you need it?  Where is a Dr. when you need one?  Yesterday we were doing yard work out front and I was playing around with my dog and the neighbor kids.  I was coming along the sidewalk in a "gonna get you" stance when my dog decided this would be a GREAT time to side swipe my knee!!!  She's a powerhouse ya'll.  She came around in a fast circle and took out my left knee, I went down fast, and ended up like a pile of body pieces on the sidewalk.  Funny thing, I didn't really hurt anything you'd think would hurt....at least not until this morning.  Ouch.  My knee hurts, my back aches...but I still love my dog...she's so cute...and REALLY, where was the video camera?  We coulda made some bucks on AFV! :)  Just for the record...this isn't the first time she's done this to me...LOL...but look how innocent she is...

Made another cake last week...for a Baby Shower...

Mary is still not here.  I am heading over to visit her today and she if she's up for changing her mind, or if she is still content and actually "happy" with her decision to stay.  It has gotten to the point where she is not wanting to talk at all about the possibility of leaving there... still not understanding what God is doing through all of this.  Maybe we aren't supposed to know just yet.  I've spent enough time being confused and frustrating myself trying to figure it out.  I've been praying a lot over the weekend and soaking in the Psalms...so now I am simply resting in Him about the whole thing...or trying to beyond my flesh. 

Hubby is working straight through his days off.... :(

BUT...taking a few days off after that... :)

We have decided to go away for a couple of days of refreshment...since we didn't exactly get a vacation this summer (you can go HERE, if you didn't hear about that bit of excitement, lol). 
We have no idea where we'll go or what we'll do...just SOMETHING! :)

This makes me smile...it's a part of my back garden, by my fountain...I love the blend of colors...

I'm so (NOT) excited about tomorrow.  What is happening you may ask?  I'll give you some hints. 

It involves being over 40, cold metal plates, humiliation, a smashing motion.....do you need more hints?  Yup, it's that time of the year again...

woo-hoo!.  Not fun.

Thursday is the First Day of Autumn...will you do anything to spruce up your home for the season?
