It's finally fall

I came home today to find the lonely leaf laying by the door as if it was saying "bbbrrrrrrr, please let me in".

It made me smile, 'cause I love fall -- the colors, the rustling of the leaves, the cooler temperatures.

Happy Fall to ALL!!  : )

Watching the Clouds Go By

This afternoon was soooooo gorgeous!  The wind was blowing a constant breeze that just blew all my worries away -- for the time being anyway.  The sky was so blue and the sun peeking thru the trees.

Monday Nite Madness 10.04.10

It's the night for bowling.  Mike was having an off night... can ya tell?  ; )

Melaina Rose

We made a trip over to Yorktown to visit with our old friends Jeff and Carrie.  We met them on the ferry on our way to Kodiak.  They are our gamies... we love to compete, most times guys against dolls!!  ; )

This is their little girl, Melaina and their fat cat, Bo.  I love them both and love to watch them play together.
(And this photo of her came out much better than our game pix!!! rofl )

Wall circles

We painted our living room walls back in the spring.  I have been searching, seeking, hunting, and I even tried creating something to go on the wall over our couch.  In my mind I pretty much knew what I was looking for.  Finding it and being willing to pay for it made the search difficult.   "Art" can be quite costly.  And I'm not one to spend large amounts for things like that.  So the wall was there, bare. 

As of today it is no longer a naked!  I was at Khol's shopping for bedsheets.  There were sales in every department and I had a coupon for an additional 30% off.  I doubted I would find anything but thought 'what the heck, let me take a look' -- and I hurried in to their 'art' department. 

There it was!!! The (almost) exact thing I had been searching for, on a 40% sale, plus my additional 30% off!!! When I say almost, it just wasn't the color I wanted so I spray painted it black.

Allison, Allison

Allison is our older daughter.  She has a heart that's golden and giagantic, but unless you have four legs you might not see this right away.  ; )  Born in July 1991 she is a true Cancerian -- a little crabby but also kind and nurturing, emotional and loving, intuitive and imaginative, protective and sympathetic.

I love you Ali!!  All day, every day, forever and a day!!  oxoxo,  m♥m

Bye-bye September

All that is left of another month is the memories and the photographs.
I'm hoping that this will be my last collage entry.  My plan is to start posting individually and daily!  We'll see how it goes...  ; )

Making more fresh salsa!  How can you not l♥ve this stuff???  Monday is the night for bowling for the next 30 weeks!!!  Mike and Stephen discuss the pin count.  Tuesday night we were going thru old fashion photo albums!!!  Remember when you kept tangible photos in a big book?!?  I d♥!!!  Wednesday was a cold rainy night -- perfect for sitting on the couch under a blanket doing some crochet.  And the last day of the month (September 30, 2010) I took Allison to see Dr. Block -- the periodontist!  He makes me wish there was something wrong with my gums!!  LOL  ; )
