<\/a><\/p>\nI am slowly decorating for Autumn.<\/p>\n
The little tray I bought at an antique store filled with, what else, pumpkins.<\/p>\n I love getting out all my Autumn quilts.\u00a0 I am working on a pumpkin quilt right now and have an apple one to finish.\u00a0 Maybe this week or next\u00a0 I will be done painting and will have time to devote to quilting.\u00a0 Speaking of painting, I have been painting on something since the first of the year.\u00a0 I painted the inside of\u00a0my shop, the shed, the outside of my shop, boards for our new screened in porch, stained and\u00a0polyurethaned \u00a0two screen doors,\u00a0and today I finished staining the floor of our front porch once again. I also am preparing to paint four new barn quilts to hang on the front of our house.\u00a0\u00a0 To say I am growing tired of painting is an understatement.<\/p>\n I love changing out my wardrobe from Summer things to cool weather things. I am getting out my clothes and washing and ironing them getting ready for a new season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0 Our Grandboys spent the weekend with us.\u00a0 It’s always fun to have them here. We went to see the movie, “Small Foot” about a man taken in by the Yeti who considered him an object of curiosity.\u00a0\u00a0 It was cute, but I thought the music was way too loud.\u00a0 The movie, “Goosebumps 2” that is coming looks really good. I don’t see too many movies anymore because most just aren’t my cup of tea.\u00a0 There are very few movies made for adults that appeal to me.\u00a0 There is always a hidden message that I don’t care to see. Why does Hollywood do that?\u00a0 Just make a good movie with good dialogue and we will come.<\/p>\n Took the boys to church and right in the middle of it, one of them left to go to the bathroom and was in there for a very long time so David got up to check on him. A while later, here they came and Foster had lost a tooth.\u00a0\u00a0 He put it in his pocket to take home, but later I saw it lying on the floor underneath a pew.\u00a0 Wonder what the\u00a0janitors would have thought about finding a tooth in the sanctuary?\u00a0 I\u00a0use to clean our church. I found some strange stuff at times.<\/p>\n Anyway, he put\u00a0the tooth\u00a0back in his pocket and I hope the tooth fairy was good to him.<\/p>\n We took the boys home and visited with our granddogs.\u00a0 I love Golden Retrievers, but I will never have one because of the long hair that has to be brushed all the time.\u00a0 My daughter’s Goldens are just beautiful and the sweetest things.\u00a0 I took lots of pictures of them with the boys.<\/p>\n Lily, on the floor is the mother.<\/p>\n Two sweet faces.<\/p>\n Now that’s a doggie smile. My son-in-law was telling me that one day when he was off work, he was putting his shoes on to take a walk and the dogs all knew what was happening and he said they all looked like they had big smiles on their faces because they knew they were going out for a walk with him.\u00a0Oliver, the dog who lost his leg in a trap, still wanders sometimes.\u00a0\u00a0 You would think he had learned.<\/p>\n This is Oliver, the one I wrote a story about. He is so beautiful and you hardly notice he\u00a0has a\u00a0leg gone.<\/p>\n You can tell the boys and the dogs love each other.<\/p>\n Really tried to get a picture outside, but the dogs didn’t cooperate.\u00a0 They wanted to play.<\/p>\n My grandson made a basketball goal out of paper just because he wanted to.<\/p>\n I like to encourage creativity.\u00a0 I think he did a good job.<\/p>\n This week will be more trips to Indianapolis for my daughter’s PT.\u00a0 We had a little excitement coming home last time. We were driving along on the interstate and a car with some men inside,\u00a0drove up beside us and a man\u00a0pointed to our car and wanted us to stop. Me, being the paranoid person I am, and having heard of scams where men do this to women to get them to stop, I told my daughter to just keep driving. The men had pulled off to the side of\u00a0the interstate thinking we would follow them.\u00a0We were near our exit and the outlet mall where David works so we drove to the store and I went in and he came out to see. Lo and behold, we had a sort of flat tire.\u00a0 David looked at it and had us go to a filling station to fill it with air.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A side story. Once when we were traveling through Arizona, we stopped at a filling station and suddenly a man came up and looked under our car and said if we didn’t have a certain thing repaired, our car might flip. David, being a mechanic in the military, knows about cars and blew him off.\u00a0 We traveled thousands of miles in that car afterward with absolutely no trouble, so I believe we were being scammed in that instance.\u00a0 But me, I worried all the time about that car flipping!\u00a0\u00a0 I am completely useless when it comes to cars and their repairs.<\/p>\n Remember when we had the kittens under our porch?\u00a0 Our daughter took one and Sunday was the first time I had seen him since she adopted him.<\/p>\n He is beautiful with a beauty mark on his face.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
