It is almost Thanksgiving!

Wow another week has flown by me. I have been applying for jobs, crocheting, working on Christmas surprises, planning a trip to Alabama in December, watching some good movies, embroidery, framing of some of my kid's art through the years. I will definitely have to share those with you soon. Right now I have a cake in the oven I am making for my mother in law. Today is her birthday. Tim is on the road and may not make it home until Sunday.

I recieved a sweet surprise today. My kids, which is my dauther, Erica, her husband, Brian, and my son, Nick sent me beautiful Fall Thanksgiving flowers! My photography doesn't do them justice. The are so pretty and smell so good.





















This next week is Thanksgiving. The time is flying past me. It seems just like it was yesterday and I was picking vegetables in some awful heat!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Monday morning musings

Happy Monday !

I hope everyone had a great Halloween. Last week seem to fly by me and before I knew it the weekend was here. Tim didn't get home until late Saturday afternoon. Friday night I made a rub for spare ribs. Tim has a Bar-B-Que bible and I used a recipe for the rub from that. I let that sit over night in the fridge and then early Saturday morning I put them in the oven on 225 and slow cooked them all day. They were delicious and so tender. So when Tim got home and after a shower and getting comfortable we had the ribs, baked potato and dinner rolls while we started the Alabama vs LSU football game I had recorded on the DVR. Alabama won with a score of 24 to 15. That game was nerve wracking. But even if it isn't pretty we will take the win!

This means we will meet Florida for the SEC Championship!

Sunday we went to Tim's baby sister's house for our niece's 9th birthday. So much fun. 3 out of 4 of Tim's sisters were there with spouses and grandparents were also there.

I have a lot I would like to accomplish this week concerning the house and Christmas presents. Good Lord willing some things we need to take care of will happen this week. One of them is calling the plumber. That is all I am going to say about that......the words "calling the plumber" makes my right eye twitch.

I will leave you with some photos Tim took a couple of years ago back home in Alabama. These are from Maple Hill Cemetary. It is a beautiful place in any season, but fall is extra special. My father and his father are buried there along with some more family and one good friend whom I miss very much. Parts of this cemetary are very old and also many famous Alabama people are buried there.











































Have a great start to the week!
