I am having a "pillow and blanket on the couch with old movies" day. :) Yesterday I had to go to the hospital for one of my yearly infusions. It always makes me feel like I have the flu for a day or two afterwards and then I am back to normal. Barkley and I are enjoying our time together. He has been curled up next to me all morning. Have a great day ahead!

I hope you are having a nice first day o...Hi Jane! I hope you are having a nice first day of autumn! It actually doesn't feel like autumn here in Georgia today, but there is the tiniest hint in the air. All the leaves are still on the trees. We don't really get autumn till about the first week of November. It only last for about six weeks and then winter blows in from the north bringing the first hard freeze and frost in the mornings. The nice thing about autumn here though is that it coincides with the cotton blooming. To me that is the most beautiful part of the living in the south. <br /><br /> I am a little sad today because logging trucks have started taking down several acres of trees along the dirt road to my house. It is a touchy subject. No one is being malicious. I do understand that people need the money from the sale of their trees and all, and that they do this every couple decades or so, but it is heartbreaking really to see those beautiful trees fall. I am just praying they don't do anything to the forest behind our house. Technically we have five acres that go about 20 ft. into the backwoods, so they should leave a border, but I don't know where the animals will go. I just wish I could go somewhere for a day or two and get away from all the noise of the cutting. I guess as a city girl having grown up in Los Angeles, when I came here and saw all the trees, it was like finding a treasure. I didn't think of them in terms of being a "crop". Well my friend thanks for letting me rant a little. I hope you have a good day ahead and that all of your construction projects will soon be at an end!

I've started cleaning up my gardens even though there are a few tomatoes left as well as the brussel sprouts and leeks. It's definitely feeling like fall here in southern Ontario and oh how I welcome these cooler temperatures after such a hot, humid summer!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919043603767131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-28542718893235213432012-09-20T05:10:16.005-07:002012-09-20T05:10:16.005-07:00Thank you for your lieve/ lovely comment on my blo...Thank you for your lieve/ lovely comment on my blog.

I agree," love your husband and flirt with him shamelessly, it is the best way to stay young!" Wiser words have never been said. :) We had a great time at the German restaurant on friday and then yesterday I cooked Jambalya. Today it was southern bbq at Shanes's. My goodness, I don't think I will be able to eat for a week! What a combination. My friend also made Swiss fudge and brought us bars of milk chocolate! They leave on Wednesday and I am going to miss them terribly. Have a lovely day ahead!

Sorry about the delay in answering! ...Hi Andrea! Sorry about the delay in answering! When your husband retires, be prepared to run off your little legs! Ha! <br /><br />I think you can spell it either Susie or Suzy, guess it depends if it is a nickname for Susan or Suzanne. My son wrote an essay about his aunt and the teacher marked him down because she said he spelled her name wrong! Guess he'd know better than her, how she spells it! Ah! The state of the schools now days. I think I would have to home school, if I was just starting out. Our little Tatianna started 1st grade this week and is already bored with it. She says they are just doing "baby" stuff. She really needs to skip a grade (or two) but I guess they don't do that anymore. <br /><br />I so agree with you on the fact we have spoiled our children with giving them too much. Every time I go to a garage sale you see the entire garage is loaded with kid's clothes and toys. The parent probably go into hock to buy it all for them. I remember growing up that we got one pair of shoes for the entire school year unless we outgrew them. We always had to be so careful with our selection. Probably why I'm a shoe-aholic now. Ha!

We are still having a wonderful time with our guests. They have been enjoying doing simple things, hanging around the house, talking, and watching old movies. Which is just about my speed! :) I have been cooking some big meals. Yesterday I made a big pot of spaghetti with Italian sausage, and a peach cobbler. Friday we are going to a German restaurant for dinner and then we will do a little shopping over the weekend. It really is wonderful to have them for two whole weeks, because nothing feels rushed. Have a lovely afternoon!

Gosh I wish times could be as sweet and innocent as they were when we were growing up. Remember the Santa from the Norelco electric razor advertisement? I also got excited when I saw that on Ted Mack's Amateur Hour because it meant Christmas was on it's way! Thank you so much for sharing this, Andrea!

They are the kind of friends where we can be apart for years and then just pick up the conversation again like we had never been apart. What a gift that is. I am starting to realize though that I am overdoing things a bit and I'm going to have to rest a little. They will be here till the 19th. and I don't think I can keep up this same pace, for the whole time! :) I hope you are having a nice weekend so far.

(But now I see my appliances are getting old and they will need replacing soon...plus if we move when retirement comes, I don't want to put more money into this house.)<br /><br />I learned so much from you Jane! I really appreciate you sharing with us.<br />I woke up this a.m. thinking of quitting blogging. ...just to have my mind live more simple. I know this is my 3rd try at blogging. I am very scatter-brained. I feel it is fun and easy to do, but sometimes I wonder how it would feel to stop looking at the computer. It is one thing to physically live simple, which I don't do yet (although when my husband retires I will have to, and I've seen my neighbors who are old do this), but I am thinking back to B.C...(before computers !) So I am thinking. This would include me not looking at blogs, etc too. love,andreaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-45220721153197568462012-09-06T08:38:34.728-07:002012-09-06T08:38:34.728-07:00Hi Jane, hope your end of summer is filled with st...Hi Jane, hope your end of summer is filled with stocking up for the winter and you are all doing well.<br /><br />I've nominated you for a Beautiful Blogger Award. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-30438556624323513982012-09-04T18:41:16.323-07:002012-09-04T18:41:16.323-07:00Hello Jane!

Living with construction going on is so tiring after awhile. We have several projects we need to get started on, but we keep putting them off. When we were younger it didn't phase us, but I think we are beginning to turn into our parents. "This paint ought to last for another year..lets just get the rug shampooed again..." :) Our guests are in route. They should be landing in Atlanta at 5:30 but it looks like they are going to have a long lay over and won't arrive here till almost 9:00 p.m. The house is all clean and ready and we are just kind of sitting around twiddling our thumbs, trying not to "mess" anything up! :) Have a lovely evening ahead.
