Autumn

I am anxiously awaiting FALL!
 This summer has been brutal on all of us and I am so ready for the crisp cool days of fall.
Days free of humidity and full of cool breezes, long walks and cozy nights on the couch.

Pumpkin Bread and Hot Chocolate.
Apple Cider and Stews cooked in the Crock Pot
Fresh Apples and a fire in the fire pit.
(sigh)
It can't get here fast enough for me!
Time for a trip to Colonial Williamsburg

It is such a wonderful place. We love to go there and just walk around.
Sadly this is something I can't so with Lee anymore, he just can't walk that much.
Lee and I would drive up for the day and just walk the cobblestone streets for hours holding hands, watching the blacksmith, admiring the architecture and the history of it all.
Sometimes in the fall and sometimes for the Grand Illumination at Christmas.

So maybe this year I will make it to Busch Gardens also in Williamsburg for...

It is a ton of fun and so much more enjoyable with out a thousand tourists and also without 
100 degree temps....LOL
I have not been in forever, maybe this fall.
It is also time for the State Fair at the end of the month...maybe a trip there.
Who knows which direction the wind will blow us this Fall.
I for one can't wait for the weather to change!
How about you?

    Colonial Williamsburg looks like an awesome destination in the fall.I have been there in the summer though. I'm anxious for that crisp air too.

    Oh Jenny! I so wanted to attend William and Mary when I was a teenager. I love Williamsburg. About the swap, this is a difficult one. Are you up to the challenge. We have Beth of Beth's Bagz joining. I am very nervous.... Let me know, I will hold your spot. E

    My favorite time of year.
    We must have crossed paths because I was headed here minutes before I noticed your message just now. I was actually going to tell you about the Halloween tag swap over at Art Joy Stuff. Info here: http://artjoystuff.blogspot.com/2012/08/anyone-for-halloween-tag-swap.html
    Would sure love it if you joined in. Who knows, we may end up partners one of these days. ;)

    XOXO's,
    Marcia

    BJ of Sweet Nothings put a fire in her fireplace yesterday or day before (West Tx). We got rain!!!!! Oh it was wonderful driving in it ... seeing some of the cracks in the ground close up. Looking forward to more rain for here and fall. However, so much is browned up due to drought that this a.m. it looked like fall, sorta, with the rain and brown stuff.
    Sorry that Lee can't do so much walking. Sounds like you had some great times. Drives can be awfully nice too.
    Take care! See ya next time, Jenn

A RE-Post...

Hey Y'all! How are ya today? The weather is cooler...I am anxiously awaiting the first frost of fall! I think that is my favorite day of the year...well next to a snow day that is! I was fiddling around my blog, looking at the page views and out of nowhere this post had 6 views today, so I thought I would re-post it, I still feel it and believe it as much today as I did last year when I wrote it. As a matter of fact, reading it made me feel better. This post is from last November, I did a month of counting my blessings, this was day 2. Today I am thankful and blessed. I am thankful today that I am saved by grace. I love knowing Jesus as my savior. Image from google I love the knowledge that no matter what He is there for me. My dad told me once that when times are so tough, if you just imagine sitting with Jesus and talking to Him it will get better. I often picture in my minds eye sitting on the beach with Jesus on my right and my dad on my left and my husband behind me

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make
