Happy Thursday!

Sometimes

We eat them right out of the bag! Do you?

What Did You Do Today Friend?

I spent some time outside.

Raked some leaves.

Admired the colors.

Thought about pentas.

They bloom all summer and still look pretty now.

Smiled at my pansies.

I enjoyed this fall day.

Hope you did too.

Dear Mr. Hilton

Dear Mr. Hilton,

Having just returned from Stacey and Tanner's great adventure aka college visit, I had to pen a letter to you. I so appreciate that you let us stay at your absolutely beautiful hotel for free with our Hilton Honors Points. The Hilton Frontenac in St. Louis was stunning! Just the drive up made me realize that I had arrived at a special place. However Mr. Hilton, please let me share something with you.

I walked into the beautiful bathroom with Crabtree & Evelyn products on the counter and noticed the sumptuous folded towels immediately. The room was immaculate and lovely.

But that magnifying mirror on the wall has got to go! You see Mr. Hilton, when a girl is 46 she just doesn't want that much information about her face! I prefer not realizing that my eyebrows are as thick as an oak tree...and um I didn't even need to know about those little broken blood vessel thingies on my neck. Mr. Hilton, really, my husband has limited vision and I need reading glasses. In our eyes I still look 26. So Mr. Hilton...next time...if I call ahead will you remove the mirror?

Your faithful customer,

Stacey

Happy Saturday!

Still out of town for a day or two but since it's Saturday morning and you might have a fresh cup of coffee in your hand, I just have to ask...do you wait and watch the calendar...so you can see the new Cottage of the Month each month? I do!

Have you seen it this month?

I can hardly make myself leave my chair. I've gone back to this a hundred times. This is quite a cottage! If you study the pictures there are lots of great ideas to take away.

I'm Lucky!

Hi all! Sorry I've been missing in action for the last week. Just too much to do here. I did post briefly yesterday...in a gripey mode...so I deleted it when I realized people were worrying. Not to worry! Just too much going on here.

I wanted to show you what I won a couple of weeks ago!

Sweet Barb of Bella Vista hosted a Ho Ho Ho Giveaway and I was the lucky recipient! Look at the darling little snowman. :) She also included a Gooseberry Patch Christmas cookbook. Both items are adorable! I've kept them on my kitchen counter and I just go by and smile. The cookbook is full of great recipes and tidbits of wisdom. Thank you so much Barb for sharing with me.

Yesterday I had a hankerin' for pumpkin pie. I bought a Mrs. Smiths and I just have to say Yummy. It's not as wonderful as homemade but it made me smile. I think pumpkin pie just tastes like fall. Don't you?

Another reason I'm feeling lucky is that tomorrow youngest son and I are heading for St. Louis to visit Webster University. He really wants to attend a music conservatory program so we are off to visit! Wish us luck on our 8 hour drive.

Be back on Sunday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and have much to smile about.
