Albert!

Opened up MSN bright and early this morning
to see this...

Hello Albert the Bull!
Always nice to be greeted by an old friend.
We lived in Audubon, Iowa for a number of years and loved living there. Friendly people, good school... it's a beautiful town. It reflects the pride it's residents take in everything they do. We loved Iowa with it's rolling hills of corn field after corn field.
 But we had to go where the job was.
We miss you Audubon...b

Here's to your health

Don't you know?


Remember your mother told you hundreds of times?

Yup, you guessed it.
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
And it's apple season. Is it no wonder we love fall so much?
And if you don't care about the doctor so much, go ahead and add some warm caramel over the top of your apple.
I'm going to...b

Autumn Splendor

Been waiting and waiting,
and checking everyday...

And today is the day!
The mums on the south side of our house are open.
Oh, how I wish I had mums in every color surrounding everything this time of year...

But I'll settle for a few of these in a vase for now.   b

weekend fun

Highlights from a fun weekend...

Grandchildren bless their grandparents with a youthful vitality and innocence that helps them stay young at heart forever. -Anonymous

weekends scream for pizza!
oh, and a good movie...

This is a great movie for dog lovers, and Richard Gere fans. It reminds us of a pets powerful attachment and devotion to their masters.

We took a country drive Sunday. I love living in the land of seasons and being able to witness the changes in our beautiful landscapes.

Throw in a little sewing and my weekend is complete.

Now you can understand why we need 5-day weekends and two-day work weeks...b

C'mon in


 Mr. Scarecrow on our front door says...


"Welcome! C'mon in!"
But Mr. Scarecrow doesn't have a brain...
so he just hangs there and says nothing.    b

Happy October

I'm officially out of summer today
and thinking about digging out some scarey stuff...

                 But first comes the changing of the wardrobe.
Have a great weekend...b
