A Girlfriend Date

I am so excited. I have a date in two weeks with a special girlfriend. I am so excited, oh did I say that already. She is a special and strong lady. Breakfast, a bit of shopping, talking, talking, talking. How to act, I feel like I don't know how to act it has been so long since I went out on a girlfriend date. I am babbling, but I am happy...Oh dear, what if something comes up...hew haw, I guess I'll have to deal with it like a big girl. Girlfriends, don't misplace yours, they get harder to find! Thank you Jesus for friends.

Pink !#?

My living room looks like this: yes it is a happy and vibrant place. I love the color. I know its not for everyone but, we are not everyone now are we?

The traditional Christmas colors are a bit of a problem here. So that is why I ended up finding these lights.

This is our tree at night. I love it and it makes me smile.

The tree is a hand me down from a dear friend. It was her in-laws. I have never loved a tree more. It reminds me of a tree in the forest (sans pink lights or maybe at sunrise or sunset). The branches turn down as if it has snowed. The tree is getting old. It will make me very sad to retire it someday.

It was another beautiful, sunny day. The sun makes me happy and energetic. I had forgotten how that felt. Have a great week.

Cranberry Orange Muffins

I say they're labor intensive.

But well worth the chopping...

I made these for you Wenna Woo. Because I miss you and I love my oldest daughter too.

Injun Summer

It was a beautiful day...we had a special visitor...Sargie poo poo did not recognize the car when she pulled up and he barked and barked his guard dog bark. We got to chat...I got to share my limited digital scrapbooking knowledge with her...we got to enjoy lunch at our favorite hamburger place.

It was an odd feeling as she drove off by herself, alone, in her car...a big girl now. Yes it was the Fall Fairy who visited us. What a very special day it was.

Later, dusk settled in. The air was still and a chill was setting in. I went out on the deck. I heard children playing (something you don't hear very often anymore), the air was hazy with smoke and there was a quarter moon high in the sky. The call of geese was overhead and as I watched them fly, I thought I saw the image of an Indian in the clouds.
