Fall - Already!

It is hard to believe that I left off in May and it is already October! I just finished doing a fancy 'harvest' look to my front yard bench. I am thinking it is cute. You need to see it closer though .... so... here it is. Can you see the little raccoon that is there as well? It is October 25 so I don't think it will be long before the white stuff will be there and I will need to change the decor!


We had a great summer. It went too fast but even so, it was great to be out in our trailer and enjoying the outdoors. Love the campfires and the smoke and the sitting around and just veggin! Oh we did lots of hiking or walking too. Not quite as strenuous as the old days but still a lot of walking. Have been trying to keep it up into the fall as well but as the weather turns cooler, I too cool off to the idea of walking outside!! Will be moving inside to the treadmill I think in the not too distant future!

Had a few hectic moments over the past few months with my hubby and a kidney stone. Strangely enough, he was to go in and have surgery for it as they said it was too large to pass. They put in a stent to help out his kidneys and then when they finally went in to do the operation, they could not find the stones. With no real explanation, they finally succumbed to the comment "you must have passed it" even though they said he couldn't. We like to think it was a miracle and God's hand was in it all. We certainly had enough people praying for it to be dissolved away! 

Had a quick trip out to Vancouver to see our daughter and family ~ Happy Thanksgiving and birthday celebrations. They have such beautiful colors there! I love this picture! Think I will blow it up as a wall mural. Wouldn't it be nice to stare at these pictures when the white stuff is falling!!



In November and December our grandson and then granddaughter have birthdays. We will miss them but will have to send off some special gifts. I always love to get things in the mail and I know they do too!

Had a ladies gab session this morning. Met a lot of new young moms and had a wonderful snack table as well. Some proficient lady made this cupcake bouquet. It was left to the very last as no one wanted to eat it!!!



Well, that's all for now. Nothing too sensational. Just real life stuff!
