BEAUTIFUL TUESDAY

Oh my gosh we had a beautiful summer day today and it's still going! It reached 75 already and climbing.

Doug and I had some running this morning after voting and I put on my black slacks and a cotton jacket and boy was I warm....we went to Walmart and Menards and I couldn't wait to get home and get my Capris on. Winter is going to be hard on me with clothes...I'm just so in my comfort zone with my Capris...but I guess if I wear socks and a sweater with them in the house I'll be okay - for gosh sakes they're just a couple inches shorter than long pants...especially on this 5'-3/4" body!

Last night we got to see baby Aidan finally - took awhile but it happened. He was such a good little fellow and smiled most of the time. We got to cuddle and giggle with him for a few hours.

He was so funny at dinner - he just sat on our laps and looked like he belonged at the table. Got a few pictures but not good ones. I'm a horrible picture taker, well, except when we're going 70 miles an hour down the Interstate...then they come out clear for some reason.

Here he is with me and Grandpa

This afternoon I decided to take my sewing into our screen room - thought I'd get one last good day of basking in the wonderful surroundings.

We put plastic up this weekend to protect the screening from the wind and snow for the winter but it's still nice out there and the partially bare trees and bushes were still holding onto some of their beautiful red and gold leaves....just for me to feast my eyes on one last time.

We use the room up through Christmas by using one of the free standing Propane heaters and let me tell you IT WORKS.

We have the EXIT and the snacks for our IN-HOME SHOW in the screen room and it is always so cozy with all the warmth and the aromas of mulled cider and treats.

I purchased some beautiful cards from a company in MN with the most beautiful Primitive Colonial pictures on them and decided to post a few of them now and then in my heading...so hope you enjoy.

They are for sale by the way for $2.95 per card if anyone wants them. Each card is blank inside to write your own note or to insert you own letter and the back has a single line verse. All made in the USA.
