Day Two Hundred Ninety Six 2011

 
Daughter Kelly and I hit Starbuck’s this afternoon for  Salted Caramel Mocha. I like it hot. She likes it iced. Either way, it was totally delicious, and sitting outside on their patio on this gorgeous October day with one of my most fave peeps made it even more enjoyable.

Day Two Hundred Ninety Five 2011

Daughter Kelly is expecting her first child soon. Two of her closest friends, Allison Wells and Jenny Underwood, gave her an awesome baby shower this afternoon at Poet’s On The Square. Friends and family enjoyed yummy food and showered the mom-to-be with an array of gifts—from boxes of diapers to handmade wall hangings and everything in between. My personal kudos to Allison and Jenny—you two ladies did such a wonderful job putting the shower together. Kelly is blessed to have friends like you. She will use everything she received. Knox will be one well-dressed kid. Can’t wait to meet you, little grand peep!

Beautiful October. Happy TGIF!

Day Two Hundred Ninety Three 2011

 
Grandson Elijah showed me this leaf when he got here after school this afternoon. He called it an “Earth leaf” --his logic being that it’s not on the tree any more but on the ground, so now it is an Earth leaf. Makes sense to me. By the way, the ice cream sandwich has nothing to do with this. It just tasted really good. And he was happy to get the last one.

Excuse me? What is with this  45 degree temperature the whole day today? Autumn disappeared and Winter blew in all of a sudden. Oh, I realize that Autumn is a transitional season. I shouldn’t whine about a day or two of cold soggy windy weather. But, hey, all those balmy blue sky days have spoiled me, you know?  This yucky weather is only temporary. Right?
