October!
Good Morning! Trying to fill my October with lots of everything I wait all year for!
Decorating is done unless I add in little things I find this month! I'm always looking! MICHAELS has had some great sales and so has Hobby Lobby. I'' be at Walmart later this week. I have to get the rest of my candy for my candy bags. Did some candy shopping at BJ's but Walmart has other fun stuff like Popcorn Balls. Target too.
My son and his fiance' had a photo shoot for their engagement though its also Fall themed. They love this time of year too.
We are so happy! It's really stirring also to realize your kids are old enough to get married! Where did those years go?
My husband and I went to a Fall Fair this weekend out in Riverhead. That's a big town towards the end of Long Island. The day was perfect
Beautiful handmade items were judged and sold. Quilts, throws, potholders, etc. We wrapped up the afternoon with lunch at an adorable restaurant in Riverhead called Tweeds. I had pumpkin soup & Shrimp Salad! Sitting next to us were two sweet older ladies who chatted with us and we all talked about Hocus Pocus!
Have you gone to any fsairs this season? Christmas onesd will be coming soon!
So what are your thoughts on artificial Christmas trees? For the first time in 30 years we bought one! The reason is we want it up longer! i want my tree up longer than two weeks before Christmas. My husband was okay with that as he agrees plus we spend so much on a real tree every year and you never know how long it will last. So we bought a beauty! A real pretty artificial I'm excited. The kids were shocked. They'll love it.....they're just not use to it. Thanksgiving weekend my tree is UP!!!!
Tomorrow morning my Caitlin is off to Parris Island, South Carolina! It's family week for the Marines! Dylan graduates Boot Camp Thursday! So proud of this boy! Hes such an awesome kid...Marine!
Other things I'm up to this week: a couple personal appointments, Walmart, taking another friend out for a birthday lunch, crafting with a friend, preparing for a weekend trip and trying a new whole chicken in a crock pot recipe!
Have a great week!
Your shrimp salad looked nice. I love pumpkin soup! Thank you for your children's service. I have so many artificial trees, my hubby says its like having a forest of trees in our house. LOL I like putting them up early too so I can enjoy. I usually leave up well after January with just the white lights. Keeps it cozy looking.I love fairs that have handmades at them. Janice
ReplyDeleteThank you Janice!
Deletewe had to get an artificial Christmas tree when my daughter was little she was allergic to it. I truly have never looked back I put it up early and leave it up into the new year. It is the darkest time of the year it is nice to have a tree glowing in the house.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have found you.
Cathy
Thank you! You're so sweet!
DeleteSo proud of your blog, I have been out of touch for a while with so much going on in my life and I was lost because of my illness but I'm stronger and I am here to tell you about a natural remedy that is guaranteed to make you wonder why your doctor didn't tell you about it. Then, on the other hand, it is pretty obvious why your doctor didn't, because that's not his job, is it? But, seriously, promise me you won't get too angry with your health practitioner, it's really not their fault. They can only practice what they're told to practice, right? When your health is at risk there's no time for Tom foolery, you've got to get down to the cause and nip it in the bud. So you've been suffering from painful gout attacks have you?
