FALL
I cannot believe it has been since April that I have posted!! Well, maybe I can. Where does the time go???? Life just keeps on keeping on, I guess.
So, what has happened in the last 4 months. I doubt I can remember!! Back from vacation and on with life.
We(Donnie) have doing some changes in our house. We added granite counter tops and glass tile backsplash to our kitchen. Marble sinks and counters to our bedrooms, fresh paint in master bath and kitchen. I always think I like changes, but when they happen, will I have to get used to them!! I have decided it is about the finished projects for me, not the almost done ones!! However, I do like them!! :-)
I love fall of the year, it is my favorite!! The beautiful colors, the cooler weather, THANK GOODNESS, fresh apples, apple butter, soups, COLLEGE FOOTBALL, are some of the things I love!! I made crock pot apple butter last year, and really liked it. I hope to go back on Bent Mountain and get more apples this year and do it again. I also, froze some for frying apples too. This summer I made frozen strawberry jam, froze some peaches and blueberrie. We also enjoyed several blueberry and peach cobblers!! We had a few things planted in our nephews garden. So, I froze zucchini, yellow squash, and some okra a Sunday School class member shared. We had lots of delicious tomatoes, and Donnie's Aunt Katherine canned tomatoes for us! I am looking forward to some soup and chili this winter!! I made an old but delicious recipe of zucchini cornbread. I think that will be on a winter menu too. I really don't enjoy cooking, but I do love to use my crock pot!! For you facebook fans, there is a new page I liked called Crock Pot Girls, it has recipes on it and I have copied a couple and emailed to myself.
A year has past since my Dad died, and it seems like yesterday. Mom and I visited his grave yesterday and she had fixed a beautiful fall arrangement. We shed a few tears then we went shopping and out to lunch. Retail therapy at its best!! A new Kirklands opened and I picked up a couple of new things for my newly done rooms. I saw some other things I might have to go back and purchase!!
I am thankful for a healthy summer. All my semi and annual test have been done and all are great. Donnie has had carpal tunnel surgery on one hand and will have the other hand done in Sept. He did really well, I just think he tries a little too hard to do things he probably shouldn't be doing. I guess the test will be when he does his right hand.
Don't know if we will get another vacation in this year, but we are heading to Richmond for Travis', my nephew, wedding in Oct. Then we are spending a few days in the OUTER BANKS, if Irene has left us a place to stay!!!
So, that is the reason I don't blog much...life is boring and normal!! But I am so blessed!!
