Fal...

Here in the Midwest the leaves on the trees are changing color and falling from trees. Their colors are bright and vibrant reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and purples and really a delight to my eye, even though I am not really big into nature. And at the moment I slow down enough to really appreciate it, I thank God for this beautiful sight that I have so often taken for granted, and for loving me.

Fall also brings out sweater season, and I am making a chunky one! Yeah! And quilts too, cannot forget my first love. Working on my UFO list still, but, as always, need to be more consistent in that area.

What are you doing now that Fall has come?

Home, Sweet Home.... AT LAST!

Well, the 15 weeks were very long for me but in the end they did fly by and Jay is home! TY, GOD! We just sat around last night, eating tapas (which was really just an old favorite of finger food and appetizers that we started when the kids were younger) and watched a funny movie. He said he enjoyed being on the couch (the ugly old one I am dying to replace) and he is still sleeping, so I guess he feels like home also. He only has 7 days so we will also have a busy day today and then he will have the week to hang out with friends and Miss Ashley (GF). Then onto Fort Campbell for jump school (scary), but at least he will be closer for 6 months, till he deploys in April.

It is still hard to believe he has grown up so much, seems like just yesterday he was a baby in my arms.....
