Halloween is coming !

I am busy today getting ready for Halloween and the many trick-or - treater's we have each year. Last year a neighbor counted 700. Our subdivision closes the streets to traffic , no one has a fence in the front(home owner association rules)

so we are very popular on Halloween. Most of the residents do a lot of decorating and its a fun time for all!

"Enchanting Rose"Tea cup and mug exchange

I participated in Stephanie's  (Enchanting Rose)"Teacup and mug exchange" I enjoyed picking the items that I thought Joy would like and getting it packaged and in the mail. I was delighted to receive this lovely teacup and goodies from Gabi !

Sad, sad week !

It is with a sad and heavy heart that I write this post. A week ago today my brother's girlfriend passed away unexpectedly. They were getting married this month. They have been together over a year and she already was like part of our family. I miss her so much already. My heart aches for my brother. They did not have long enough together. She was diagnosed with leukemia several months ago, finished her chemotherapy and was cancer free. She went back in the hospital Thursday to get blood platelets,just routine since her chemo, she was feeling fine, looking forward to the future. She got up and went to the bathroom and fell hittng her head and died. Rip "Toni" we love you !
