Home

I was gone from home about 3 weeks. Glad to be back home again. Love to travel and see everyone. Tom wanted a cherry cheesecake instead of birthday cake. So he got his wish.
We are having very cool weather. I was just getting used to FL weather. I hope it is a while
before we get snow.

Sunday Morn

There is a chill in the air ! The past couple of days it has been chilly ! I think fall is trying to peek in on us a little early. It is suppose to warm up again and I hope it stays.

Fall is Coming ! ! !

Well, I think fall is coming real quick. The last couple of days it has been very chilly when we get up. It does warm up a bit but not like it was. I like fall but I'm thinking of what comes after it, winter and snow. I just don't like it any more. It's pretty but I don't like the COLD.

Wonderful Weelend

We had a wonderful weekend celebration. First we went to my sister and brother-in-laws house for a get together. All 3 of my kids and their families came up from Florida. My brother and sister-in-law came too with their oldest granddaugther. I think we all had a great time. I hope we can make ita regular every couple of years. On Sunday my kids went to another family reunion on their dad's side. Two of them came to our house for Monday. The spouse's have never been to our town. A little show and tell. The youngest left yesterday and oldest left this afternoon. What an enjoyable weekend.

I'm paper

What scrapbooking item are you?
You are PAPER!You are an all natural basic person who likes to act as a foundation to others. You are willing to take a backseat in most of your relationships and let others take the spotlight, while you show your support and help them shine! Underneath it all, you are the one who makes it all happen. You are the focus and stability in any group, even if you are not the leader. Others look to you to set the pace and provide ideas for ways to get things done. But Paper Beware - sometimes you get a little edgy with the people who look to you for support and can give them some papercut remarks that can hurt their feelings. Remember to watch what you say, because you are best when leading by example.Take this quiz!Quizilla Join Make A Quiz More Quizzes Grab Code

Family get together

We're going to see all the kids and grandkids down at my sister & brother-in-laws house. Their coming in for a family reunion on their Dad's side of the family. It should be fun.

I'm working on my blog design but still don't like it.
I liked the rounded corner of other one but it's too narrow.
Have a great day.
