Hey Cherries. Thank you for posting for me yesterday Brandy. After a long day on Friday I ended up going over to my mom’s around 2am and spending the night there. She was having what I am hoping was a reaction to the new med she was taking. So I stayed all night with her. I really hardly slept because I was in a recliner and I can’t sleep sitting up. I got home around 9am and just crashed. I was so washed out all day I basically slept most of the day. Still feeling washed out even this morning. Hoping to get myself on the exercise bike to get going. 

On a happier note I had fun going to trunk or treat with DD and JJ and Aiden and Aiden’s friend on Friday night. It was at JJ’s elementary school parking lot and it was the first time I have been to one. There were so many cool trunks and the kids had fun. And when we got back to DD’s house they surprised me with an early birthday celebration! It was so sweet. Maddie had decorated while we were gone and we had pizza and cake and doggie decorations and it was all so fun! 

I have so much to do around the house that I have gotten backed up on, and yesterday I was so washed out I did none of it. I hope to have more energy today and get it done. I also want to do step 3 of the progressive challenge today too. So I need to perk up and get it done. 

Have a great day Cherries.

Glad your mom is ok Barb, I think you deserve some rest for sure. We do trunk or Treat at my school this year, I will be doing a Harry Potter car next Friday. It is always a fun time. 
 

Good morning Cherries.  Slept in this morning until 9, which is late for me. Did my usual routine of car wash, vacuum and gas then strolled around Home Goods for a bit trying to get inspired to really start Christmas shopping. Other than finishing the laundry, I will be scrapping today until the Chiefs game

Glad your mom is doing better now, Barb! Hugs for you!  
Super cool that you got to do the Trunk or Treat with the kiddos, AND SUPER SWEET that they threw you a surprise birthday party! How awesome!
Good luck getting things done today! Just rest when you need to!  
Have an awesome day, Barb!

That's sooo cool, Kristin!!!
 

Hey Cherries  
I'm feeling a bit better today! Taking lots of meds! Work kicked my tail last night, too! I went back to sleep this morning after I fed my babies. 
I'm off today, and am FINALLY feeling good enough to get something done! I have to take pictures of things and upload them, and so I have had to take some things off my phone lol my phone takes better photos than my tablet.
Omer is going to work on his truck some more - he had to go get more bolts yesterday. IDK much about mechanics, but I KNOW it seems that it's ALWAYS something! I REALLY feel for him though, because I KNOW he's VERY frustrated. (AND likes to do it all himself! LOL men!)
Maybe I'll get some more scrappy stuff done today. Idk. I've been window shopping again! These sales are VERY tempting!  
Stay blessed, Cherries!

So happy to hear your mom is okay.  Must have been frightening to go at that hour.  Rest is on the horizon for sure!

Sounds like you had a wonderful time on Friday with the GKs.  I think the Trunk or Treat events are the greatest idea ever.  We did it with our GKs and decorated our vehicles.  And the surprise birthday party had to be a blast!  Such a sweet surprise for you.

We washed my SUV yesterday.  It's great weather here for us.  I'm organizing for an upcoming crop until the KC game!

Glad to hear you're feeling better and off work today.  Looking forward to the photos of your journal pages!
 

The weather here is perfect!  Why can't it stay like this year round?  I love the 75 degree days and 50 degree nights.  I'm in the process of making lists and organizing for a November crop coming up quickly.  My sister will be here and I can hardly wait to see her.  It was a year in August since we were together.  With her DH going through chemo, she wasn't really able to go anywhere and visiting wasn't an option.  He is now cancer free...prayers answered.  So, we are very much looking forward to 4 days of sister time!  Off to get some papers packed...

Back up to low 80’s through Wednesday but shorter days and cooler nights make it very nice weather.   About time weather gets really nice and cool and lovely fall, lol, I’ll b on a plane for 3 weeks in hot old semi tropical Florida for my yearly visit with DD and the grandkids.  Oh well 

the Local Moose Lodge craft fair was a lot of fun. Small, neighborly and friendly  I got some homemade apricot cardamom jam, a cute manly bbq potholder for YDS who is the grill master type, and a cool thingie to attach to my key ring with what else but Moose’s on it!  All proceeds from the fair are donated to a children’s charity locally.  A win win enjoyable afternoon.

going to lunch today with old friend.  Then just spend a quiet week getting ready for the trip.  Bank stuff, hold the mail, make sure to have all Rx’s filled, packing etc.  most important I guess is to not order any scrappy stuff on impulse this week. Hahaha. 

have a serene Sunday

Barb, you are soooo very welcome. Anytlime! So many HUGS!!! Its never fun to get a phone call regarding a parent at that hour.

I was about to say Good Morning, but never mind...so Good afternoon cherries! Been busy, as usual. Yesterday, got 6 loads of laundry done, on top of running errands. Our Big Lots is closing and each week, they keep having more and more % off on products. I got some bathroom hand towels to replace a very old ones (both bathrooms are using towels that are 18 yrs old! Ack!). They are no longer soft! LOL. But the ones I bought at Big Lots were. And at $2 a piece, you can't beat that! So I got 10 of them. 2 of each color that I picked up. I also got some Christmas Paper plates/napkins for a great price as well as a couple of toys for the boys. Those were at 25% off. Can't beat that. Then I moved onto HL to check out ornaments for gifts. But I only had found a couple....

Today, after breakfast and making a batch of eggs, I ran into town. M's to look at their ornaments. Eh..but still found 2, which allowed me to check off 2 friends off the list. Then onto Earthwise Pets to get Penny her CBD Oil and her special birthday treat. The lady had doggie pumpkin pie and doggie cool whip, how cool is that!?!! Then onto Joann to see what their ornament situation looked like. Even more..ugh...I actually walked out of there empty handed.

Then I moved onto AtHome and ding, ding! Had better luck! Got Jasper an ornament and ornaments for a few others. So now all I have left (ornament-wise) is one for Draven and one for Anton! Back on the road and headed home.

The rest of the day is MINE until its time to make dinner, so I did Step #3 of the Progressive Challenge. Got that uploaded and now I'm planning on working on the BF sketch.

Hope everyone has a great day!

How cool to find some special ornaments!  And of course, Penny's pie and whipped cream sounds awesome! I wonder if my cats would like something like that?!  
Glad you've got the rest of the day to yourself, Brandy! That's always good!

Amen to that,Vicki! I LOVE hearing about answered prayers! I'm glad you'll get to spend some time with your sister! Have fun packing up your cropping stuff!

Oh Barb! I know what those calls are like! I’m glad your mom is okay. And what fun to go to the trunk or treat party! And the surprise party!!!! How fabulous! I hope you get some rest today.
