My beloved Buckeyes have a bye week, so DH is taking me to test drive a car! lol  My lovely Beetle is 13 years old!  I wasn't buying a new car, yet, but the Mini Cooper has one is the prettiest shade of light teal/aqua, and so many car companies refuse to make cars in colors other than black, white, silver, and red, so I might just have to do it! 

I LOVE teal/aqua, too, and think it's a shame so many cars these days are made in plain, boring colors! I hope you can get the new car that you want, Laura! You certainly deserve it!

Good morning!  I woke up all stuffed up again.  I'm waiting for the Claritin to kick in.

We won our football game last night!  57-0!!  It was so fun!  Jason played the whole 2nd half.  So happy to see he is fully recovered and able to play his senior year.

I'm making a small list of things I need to take care of today.  I was not planning on going anywhere but I need more meds and milk.

I have a few scrapping things I want to finish up today.  the Progressive challenge - Step 3 and the new Becky sketch.

Other than that, I think it should be an easy day.

Have a great day!

Hope the Claritin helps and you're feeling better!

Jeez Louise I’m getting old.  Fell asleep on the sofa last night at 9:30. Woke up at 10:30 and went to bed and slept till 7:30 this morning.  Or maybe first cold weather of the autumn put me in semi hibernation mode.  lol

had plans to go to a local Moose Lodge fall festival/craft event this afternoon but lol my boys are back from hunting and will b over for dinner.  So a bit of tidying up, grocery store and cooking seem to b what’s happening now.  

that killer wind from last 2 days is completely gone.  Not a leaf stirring anywhere. And supposed to gradually creep back up to highs around 80-81 through the week.  Next week predicted to b lovely cool autumn temps with maybe rain but by then I’ll b in hot old Florida at DD’s. Oh well 

have a nice Saturday. 

I love fall festivals!  But, dinner with your boys is a good thing too!  Enjoy!

Hey Cherries  
STILL fighting a cold but I MUST make my shift today at 5. I went to bed early and read for a while. The number of times I woke up is ridiculous though! (To pee, to blow my nose, ugh!)
I NEED to get pictures of the art journal and send it out, and I need to take pictures of my step 3 for the progressive layout challenge. I finished an unfinished project yesterday, too- a layout that I started last year with a VERY old photo of my original Jazz cat. 
So, between feeling lousy with this cold, and getting restless from all the rest, I have had some creative play! I'm JUST annoyed that I don't feel the best lol! I mean fibromyalgia is annoying enough, but adding a cold to the mix is JUST ridiculous! Enough whining from me, though! 
Have a wonderful weekend, Cherries!

Aw, I hope you are feeling better soon, Holly.  Take care!

Beautiful day here in SE PA.  The high today is 72 and the windows will be open.  We had baked fish for dinner last night and no matter what the house still smells of fish.  LOL!  So I will be airing it out today.  Then I hope to clean out my flower beds and trim up the mums that have taken over.  Maybe some scrapping later today.  Have a good weekend Cherries!

Enjoy your beautiful day, Vicki! I LOVE airing my house out! Good luck out there in the flowerbeds! Hope you get to scrap, too!

Good morning cherries, Brandy here, posting for Barb. She's still at her Mom's (stayed overnight) and she just hasn't slept well (slept in a recliner). So she asked me to post on her behalf. And Barb did say her Mom was OK, so that's a relief. She will share deets later.

Who's scrapping today? Me - probably not. I've got so much to do around here since I was super busy yesterday. If you follow me on FB, you saw I had to 2 littles yesterday morning. My brother and SIL needed to get their stuff out of the storage unit that they share with my SIL's sister and you can't do anything with a 3 yr old and a 16-month old.   So after they dropped off Draven and Jasper at school, they came over here and got the 2 littles settled. Then headed over to the storage unit. The boys had fun. They played, watched cartoons and helped make diabetic-friendly cookies for Uncle Rob.

My brother and SIL picked them up at 11:30 and I went in and showered, got dressed and headed over to the store to get groceries. Home to put things away, ate a couple of crackers and then headed out again to my 1st DAR meeting. I'm still working thru my application, but they allow prospective members to come. I saw another prospec that I met at the lunch 2 weeks ago, so we sat together. Home again, then DH got home. We relaxed all evening, catching up on shows on our DVR.

Today, I've got the usual laundry going, and need to desperately clean up my office. I also need to run a couple of errands.

Hope everyone has a good day!

I’m glad Barb’s mom is okay. I know she worries about her. Thanks for stepping in!

I saw your pictures on Facebook. Those boys are so adorable!!!!! It looks like they had a great time too. You’re a great Auntie!  

Hope you make time for yourself this weekend Brandy!!!

Long day on the road yesterday. It was a girls day to check out the college for the eldest granddaughter in Bozeman. It is 3.5 hours from us and registration was from 7-9 am. So, you know what that means. I was at my DD’s for pick up before 5:30am. We drove most of the way in the dark. Thankfully no critters jumped out in front of us. Sessions were very informative. She has already been accepted here with a nice scholarship. We had the minion with us and you can imagine how boring it was for someone that just turned 5. My gosh, she was an angel. Oh, yes, saw our first snowfall! The mountains were covered with snow and beautiful! A Costco stop on the way home for a couple of Christmas presents. The boys had a day with grandpa. They would have been bored to tears. I am beat today and don’t think I have much on my agenda.

Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday!

Sounds like a good day but those long drives can be exhausting! Glad that it was a successful day too! Take it easy Leslee!!!

Oh Laura! What fun!!! And that color is one of my favorites!!! I hope you love it and can get a good deal on it!!! 

As for cars in other colors we saw some pretty ugly colors when we were down in Kentucky! I don’t know why they had to make one a pukey green! Yuck! But to each his own I guess!

Have a great day!

Hello Cherries, feel like I have missed so much but have been crazy busy with school. Weather here is yuck...very overcast and drizzly but there is a very nice breeze and we are down to 81 degrees. Humidity is up up up though. Very jealous of all of you with those low temps.  Started a teeny bit of Christmas shopping this morning. Every year since birth I buy my boys an ornament of whatever they were into that year so I picked up the first two.  Also found the kitchen Santa I wanted at Hobby Lobby,  Today I'll be cleaning and finishing my Halloween decorations then tomorrow I will be scrapping for sure. Have a great weekend everyone 

Sorry school has been so busy Kristin! We do miss you. That South Florida humidity is awful! Glad you got the ornaments for your boys and found the Santa you wanted!!! Have fun decorating and be sure to get scrappy!!!

That’s awesome Jason’s team did so well!!! And so glad that he’s healed and can finish his senior year playing! 

Hope you feel better really soon!!! Enjoy scrapping!!!

Holly, I’m sorry you’re still sick!!! I hope you feel better really soon! I’m having unusual fibro symptoms too. Must be some really weird vibes hanging around. I hope work is easy on you tonight! 
 

[GinniG]

Hi Cherries! I seem to be fighting something too. Ugh! I’m so excited though! Steve went into town this morning and picked up the packages! Our living room and bedroom lights are here! And the parts to fix the dryer! And all the albums I ordered! So I don’t have time to be sick now. Hopefully it’s just weird vibes cuz I didn’t sleep well the last 2 nights either. 

Jeff kitty is head butting my hand so I’d better pet him. Lol! Have a great day!!!

I would have a difficult time giving up my Beetle now.  My first car was a red Beetle and I learned to drive a stick shift with it.  However, the color of the mini Cooper sounds fun!
  

Yeah, I love my Beetle, but those idiots at VW decided they needed to mess with a good thing and design a sportier version in 2012, with a lower roof to appeal to more men!  smh. I got my “final edition” of the old body style in 2011, and the sales rep told me they were changing the design because “studies show 80% of Beetle buyers are women.”. Duh!  You don’t redesign a Ford truck because 80% of the buyers are men.  As a result, sales stalled (most women wanted the classic design…) and they discontinued production.  So disappointing!  My car is my 2nd Beetle, but it has 95,000 miles and is 13 years old.  I’m not going to trade him in, but will keep him to run to town and so forth.

Good luck with the test drive, sorry no football. That was last week with the Chiefs... it's like something is missing!! 

We are still getting our fix with the Alabama/Tennessee game. lol. The test drive was great!  I am going to order the car with the interior and options I want!

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the newer design either!

I can't believe she's already headed to college soon! Boy, time sure does fly.

That's cool about the ornaments. My step-dad's mother would buy my brother and I a new ornament each year for Christmas. When she passed, my mother continued that tradition. Now that SHE has passed, I do the same thing with the boys.

I missed that Barb's mom was sick, glad she is ok. Sounds like you have been busy, hope you get some fun time this weekend. I'm sure I missed it, what is a DAR application? 

DAR is the Daughters of the American Revolution. My 6th great grandfather served in the American Revolution. I'm currently going through the process. You must show them proof from generation to generation.
