A 4 day weekend !!!

We spent 4 days down the state with friends and our boating club and stopped by and spent a few hours with Jim's brother on our way home, it was a wonderful long weekend!

It cannot get any better !

We are having the most beautiful weather! The mornings are nice and cool high 40's and low 50's with beautiful skies, the afternoons are in the 80's with lots of sunshine and light breezes. I do not think it can get much better!

A scary day but a silver lining !

We had tornados and severe thunderstorms yesterday. It was scary! Thank goodness no one was hurt,that I know of. We have lots of limbs down and part of our privacy fence but no serious damage. My Granddaughter told me this morning " Grandma, you would have been proud of me, my friends at school were crying and screaming, I got them in a circle and started praying and the tornado went over my school With out touching down. I am proud of her and that she knows that she can turn to God when troubles come!

A Beautiful October !

I do love the weather we are having! Today is sunny with a high in the 80's. We have had several days when the high only reached the 60's. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets!

October 1st and Boating weekend !

It is the 1st day of October and I am so excited, it is my favorite month of the year! We are suppose to be in the 50's this weekend, pumpkins are already everywhere, festivals will be all month! A fun time! This past weekend was a boating event for our classic boat club. We were in Central Fl. at a small lake. It was a great time with boating, skiing, steamed crabs one night, Barbeque ribs and chicken the next, live music,dancing and ending Sunday morning with a breakfast buffet!

13 years ago today

My Granddaughter came into this world, into my life 13 years ago today! She is my only Granddaughter, I have 3 Grandsons and as special as they are, there is something about a Granddaughter! As have my Grandsons,she has brought so much joy to my life, as I have said many times, there is not anything else like being a Grandma!

It is almost here !

I have my gold plates on the plate racks, my autumn centerpiece on the table, I filled a fruit bowl with little pumpkins, gourds & acorns for the bar, I have my autumn candles out, added some gold ribbons to my cut-glass candle sticks on the buffet. This weekend we are suppose to have lows in the 60's and highs only in the 80's! I plan on making my pork

roast with apples and cabbage in the crockpot. I am in the mood for fall!
