Skeleton Stagecoach

I have been enjoying all the rain we've been having.  It usually doesn't last for long, and it comes and goes throughout the day when we do get some.

My son has been experimenting with different recipes in the cookbook, Let's Eat Paris!  He recently made some crepes with butter and organic cherry spread.  They were wonderful.

Isn't this stagecoach delightful?  I saw it at the entrance of the grocery store last week.

I always like to try cereals that are limited edition.

Speaking of bats.....

When Nel lived in Georgia, she saw bats all the time in her backyard.  She loved the bats. She moved there in the middle of summer, and that first evening when they went outside in their new backyard, it was like she had been transported to an enchanted forest.  The fireflies were flickering like little fairies, and the bats were swooping down from the pine trees and fluttering all around the yard.  Those warm Summer evenings watching the bats come out at dusk are some of her favorite memories from living in Georgia.

Some more Autumn color around here.

It's been really cold lately.  Tomato soup with buttered toast sounds perfect.  I like to dip my toast in the soup.

Story.  I came across this verse last week, and it's one of my favorite verses that I've known for a long time.

That very same day in the afternoon, my best friend sent me an e-mail saying hi and just checking up on me.  We went back and forth with comments for awhile, and in one of her last e-mails she sent me this - the same verse that I came across earlier that morning.

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a hard time using chopsticks?  I had a friend I worked with that used to eat with them all the time.  But me, no way, could never get the hang of it.

When you go through old things, you certainly find unexpected surprises.  I have been going through cabinets and drawers, and gave a few items away.  I came across the hospital bracelet my mom wore when she delivered me!  Do you know how many years that is?  Let's just say, it's vintage.😉  I thought it was so sweet of her to keep it all those years, and then it somehow got back to me.  My mom was dear, and kept so many items and cards and mementos that were given to her by her kids.  

Mia wanted to show me her fox costume.  Isn't it adorable?

The October days are going fast.  Enjoy every moment of it.
