Happy Halloween!

Wishing you a Happy Halloween with a pic from the past. No doubt I've shown this picture before but it is a favorite. 

This is baby boy and his bride back in high school (though they weren't married yet in this pic) Ashley's mother did a great job with their costumes that year!

Only 52 days until I get to hug these two!

Have a fun and safe weekend.

Hello there!

I'm still here, just been busy. Haven't read any blogs lately but I hope to soon. Just thought I would stop by and show you a couple of Halloween touches.

Both of these landed in the game room along with a few others that I failed to photograph. Maybe I will get to those before I put them away next week. 

(sorry for the glare on the pumpkin - it has glass on it which protects it from dust but makes it hard to photograph!)

Hope you are all having a great week!

A little stitching

How have you been?

 From the date of my last post, I would say I've been busy! Getting in those end of the year doctor appointments - I usually try to group them together so I don't have to make so many trips north (I still use most of the doctors I used before we moved) but this year I just couldn't manage to work it out, plus I had added appointments for the foot doctor. I had another shot last week - at the moment the foot is feeling better but I'm holding final judgement until after I hit the two week mark and after I've gone to  quilt festival. Can't do any more shots until January so cross your fingers this last shot works!

I did manage to finish one Christmas ornament and have a few more in various stages of completion - hopefully I will get those finished in time to use them for this year. 

Best news yet - baby boy and his bride will be home for Christmas! This will be the first time we have had them for Christmas since they moved to New York. Mom is happy!

Hope you have all been enjoying fall weather - we are still hitting 90+ here.

It may be fall on the calendar

but the weather here didn't get the message! 

I haven't started any fall decorating yet (maybe this weekend?) with the exception of this one little spot. You can't really tell it in this photo but the flower 'vase' is a pumpkin. Had it for years and always used it for candy in the fall. Last year the lid broke. (happens when glass hits tile floor) I didn't throw the bowl part away - just stuck it out in the garage until I could figure out something to use it for. Picked up a few fall flowers and a little  birdhouse and now I have a new fall arrangement! No, the mirror isn't dirty - it's old. The jewelry tree was a gift from a friend years ago but some of the pieces fell off at some point and I stuck it in the closet until I could get around to gluing it back together. Found it when looking for something else (of course) and fixed it so I could put it back out on display. (yes, it stays out year-round)

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Flowers that keep.

Finally, flowers that I won't kill because I get to lazy to water. :)

I might need to make some more!

Happy weekend!

Happy birthday!

Today is the hubby's birthday! 

Made him an Italian Cream Cake and we went to lunch together. He has gone on an errand at the moment so I thought I would see if I could get a post up.

In a round-about way I got this picture up, still working on others. I will figure it out one way or another so I guess I will keep trying.

I think I need a piece of cake. :)

Pictureless post

So, I made the mistake of downloading Windows 10 on this computer and now I can't find anything. I can't get it to download new pictures from my camera to the folder I was using, instead it downloaded ALL the pictures from my camera into another folder with no numbers. Have no idea how to get those in picmonkey to edit or how to move them to another folder much less figure out how to post them on here.
If things don't  quit changing (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) I am going to have to give up on blogging. Every time I get the new whatever figured out they change something else. I'm too old for this.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
