Too Much Fun

It is a given. I cannot take a decent photo

if I am having a good time.

Of course I'm not sure I ever take a good photo, 

passable yes, but good?

Oh baby, there are a zillion blogs out there

 with beautiful shots, I usually do

not come to mind.

This is the only one out of a dozen that you can

 ascertain there are people in the photo, not trees.

Yep, that bad.....

This is toward the end of the evening of 

the potluck at oldgreymare today,

and I'm missing a photo of 6 other pals,

but they would have been ticked (big time)

 if I posted it, trust me.

SOOOOO much food, all delicious.

Great friends

 Great conversations,

usually occurring all at once...

We all ended up near the kitchen of course.

I'm not sure why I have a living room,

except to throw dog toys down the length

 for Howie to fetch.

These are wonderful, beautiful women,

all incredibly talented, kind, generous and loving.

Lucky me

This week is all about kits for 

the Upcoming Gathering.

Lots of paper - reams, lots of cutting - hours,

lots of music blasting from the iPad

to see me through.

Hope your week is off to a good start.

and get this..

one of the gals asked me to autograph

her copy of WWC!

what a hoot!

SO they're all watching me in the kitchen

as I searched my brain for something witty 

to write below my photo and I froze.

Good thing Sue is the only one to ask.

I told her I would have it done by 

the Gathering on Dec 10th.

That should give me enough time :D

Seems autographing is in the

same category as my photos.....

Needs work Z, needs work.

Smudge And My Yard Clean Up Nicely

Smudge

C'mon how cute is he?

and eyes, he has eyes.

If you don't know the story of Smudge

read about him Here and Here.


By mistake I left 2 windows open 
last night and woke up this am
to a very cold house and discovered that 
in the night I had grabbed my robe
 from the foot of the bed
and added it to my covers for warmth!

(just kidding)


Wasn't it just last week I was whining about the heat?


My handy guy Brit and I worked in 
the yard all day yesterday, clearing fall debris
and restringing lights and my muscles were sore 
by 6 pm. Add in the chilled air all night long 
and I am walking slowly today and
 a bit hunched over to boot.
Attractive look, don't you imagine?
(local gals, this guy works so hard 
and can repair, fix, clean just about anything)


The yard is ready for the potluck, so ladies bring your 
sweaters and there are always the 
tables indoors if you're a wuss. 
She says throwing down the "tough broad" gauntlet.


There are 49 days remaining until 
my chicks return home

and you cannot imagine how my heart quickens just 
thinking about it. All their favorite foods
 will be prepared and late night movies will be a 
constant, and maybe a short trip somewhere, 
and now wine in the
 evenings since DD will be 21.


I am blessed, and I am ever so grateful.
