Day Two Hundred Ninety Eight 2011

Been feeling puny the past 24 hours with some kind of stomach bug (or maybe it was that burger I ate for lunch yesterday, who knows) so I haven’t been able to eat much.  Hubby Neil brought me this DQ vanilla shake tonight. After all the Gator Aid and crackers, this tasted as yummy as it looks. 

Day Two Hundred Ninety Seven 2011

Niece Julia, grand daughter Shelby and grandson Elijah spent  some time outside after school this afternoon batting the ball and throwing the Frisbee to each other (well, mostly into the bushes). Hard to resist the call of a perfect October day when the sky is my favorite shade of blue, the sun is out and the breeze is cool, and the Red Maple in the back yard looks like its on fire. Why does this month have to be the one that flies by quicker than all the rest?

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!
