Fall Trivia




LAAAAAADIES and Gennnnnntlem,

Fall is arriving at 4:21 am tomorrow 
morning!

I don't think the weather Gods around 

these parts got the memo though, 
because we are having another warm 
spell here in the Midwest. It was cool 
over the past weekend but .....here 
we are Fall and mid the 80's. What 
can I say?




Time for Mums. I picked up 
two pots over the weekend. 
Red ones.




Time for the annual trip to 
pick those pumpkins.


Time for:

Apple Pick'n
Bonfires
Hayrides
Country drives to see the
leaves changing
Apple cider and doughnuts
Haunted Houses for those 
who dare!
Seaonal and holiday decor 
changes
Trying new "comfort food"
recipes or using old faves
Getting out the cardigans 
and hoodies
FOOTBALL

What do you do to get ready 
for FALL??

Summer Recap





Hello Everyone~
Since Fall is on our backdoor, I 
thought I would do a recap of our 
Summer.
We did enjoy our fun adventures 
for sure! First up was our trip to 
Oklahoma for fun with the family. 
This was from the trip to the Cowboy 
Museum.





Next we were off to Illinois.
Our friend's son graduated from
high school and is attending the 
University of Minnesota studying 
Engineering. 




Christopher's Aunt made these. It is 
Periodic Table. Nifty idea don't you
think?



In July, Mr. Ken took some time off
for vacation and we took some day 
trips... We enjoyed our visit to
the library.





Another day we went to a local brewery.





Picked up our tour tickets and off we 
went.





Some "young" man had a birthday!!!





Which was celebrated many times over.
Took another road trip, to see a friend
and celebrated the big day again.





This lovely A-frame home was designed 
by our friend and she lives here, so we 
were very excited to see it and her too.
This trip took us to southwest Missouri, 
almost to the Arkansas border.





I completed  my 50 book challenge!!!!!





One more road trip! We found ourselves 
in Brookfield, Missouri. They have a Hot 
Air Balloon Fest every year.





We went with my brother-in-law and his 
girlfriend but...





Unbeknownst to us and Julie he planned 
to ask her a very important question! Can 
you guess what it was????





To say she was surprised was ans under-
statement! Thankfully, Gregg clued us in 
before. I was glad I had the camera with 
me!!!




It fit!!





She said YES!!!!





The balloons were cool too!

Congratulations to my brother-in-law

and soon to be sister-in-law!!!!
Can't wait to have Julie as an official
member of the family.

Summer went fast and Fall promises to 

be full of more fun and ANOTHER road
trip!

Come back often, I am going to try to

post more. So much going on, that it 
gets hard to post. But I will try harder.
