A little Fall Fluffing…..

I always get  so excited for the next season to come to my little cottage. Fall is always a welcome relief – from the heat of summer and days of travel. Fall is a time to get the home fires ready for the holidays ahead and my home ready  for visits with family and friends. I hosted the first gathering of the Quaint Old homes group last week and it was a great time to get a head start on my fall cleaning and fluffing. I just wanted to share a bit of what I have been doing this early fall.

Drews Three-rific Day

Drew is one lucky little boy and I think he has figured that out already! His Mom & Dad plan the best Birthday parties! We decided we all like the parties as much as the Children and Drews 3rd lived up to the other 2 for sure. Cars was the theme for his party, he loves anything that has wheels on it and LOVES the car movies. He took it all in with such wonder and amazement it melted my heart to see how excited he was with every detail. Drew is a detail little boy and will look and study something forever!

There were Cars everywhere – Balloons, Cake, Cookies

Even Callie had a cars pillowcase dress – made by me of course – her first dress I made! How fun was that ? A LOT

Sept 2011 062

Drew this year really got into opening his presents and seeing what was in each one. The sweetest thing he did was ask his Dad with each present who gave it to him and then would “Thank” them – melt my heart! See a “detail” kind of guy.

Then on to the Feature presentation – a outdoor showing of “Cars” on a big screen outside. And we even had a concession stand of snacks.

It is hard for me to believe how one little guy could bring such joy to my life….

I thank God daily for my this precious family God has given me. Thanks Josh and Erica for taking such good care of my Grandson.

And now I can add #3 to his fun parties…. Our little guy has grown so much in the past 3 months… Talks all the time – you can actually have a conversation with him and that just makes my heart happy. I hope I can remember everything about this sweet age and all the funny things he says to me. He told me last week my name was NOT – Molly Yarger but my name is Grammy – and that my friends is just fine with me – the best name EVER

Happy Happy Birthday Drew – You will always be my sunshine in those baby blues of yours! Love you to the moon and back-

Coming round the Mountain….

I feel like I have been around 3 or 4 mountain tops last month. I spent most of last month GOING! Don’t get me wrong I LOVE to GO – say road trip and I am on the way!

I had 3 great trips – Chicago, Santa Fe/Glorietta and Fredericksburg/Blanco.

I have told you about my trip to Chicago all except showing you my most FAVORITE displayed clothes store –EVER.I will share that with you later in the week or next- stay tuned.

Santa Fe and Glorietta was such a treat for me. What memories that place holds in my heart. I know the friends I made the trip with, got a little tired  of hearing about  them –but how precious memories are – I thank God for them. For some people you shared them with, it is like a part of them is still there looking over your shoulder.

Here is my Picture Collage of my trip to  Santa Fe-

Last weekend my friends Amy, Kaye and my Sister Brenda headed off to a Cooking Class in Blanco. Of course we had to spend the day in Fredericksburg and shop and eat at the Peach Tree. My favorite store – RED. Hard to believe with a name like that – hehe. We stayed in a B& B and then Saturday headed to enjoy one of the most fun days we have shared as friends.

Our cooking class was at the Juniper Hills Farm in Blanco. We spent the day making Sweet and Savory things. The morning class was making our own body lotion,Bath gel,Air freshener and Body scrub. That was so fun and smells so good and natural. Made with essential oils and made to your nose liking! I have my very own scent and I just love it – boy does my house smell good now and its all organic.

They served us a delicious lunch and then it was our turn to cook. We prepared Asiago Cheese Scones, Vanilla Pear Jam, Spicy pecans, Cheese wafers and Home made Vanilla. It was a sweet day with friends and we all agreed we will be going back to spend another day with Sibby our wonderful kind teacher.

Even though my going is stopping for a while I will file these fun days away in my heart and think back on them often.

Down on flat earth-
