Awards gladly accepted.....

I love surprises...
and so today as I checked in to see what was 
happenin' in bloggin' land...
I was pleasantly surprised to see that 

MICHELLE My Belle
at the 

had left me a 
unexpected treat....


I have done 
not a single thing to 
be worthy...

But I like it anyway....
I am to pass it along to 15 
"newly discovered"
blogs....

Whoa!
that meant I needed to put on my 
reading glasses and 
hike around blogland for some 
undiscovered treasures...

So, off I've gone...
and come back with the 
goods...


Admittedly,
there are some of my faves that I have been following 
for quite awhile....not really newly discovered, but 
honestly, as I went through the list I just couldn't 
pass them by....love them all...
hope I'm forgiven...

Go by and check them out!
All are worth the effort and you might just be surprised too!

Lonny love...

I admit...
I am a nut for online magazines....

Not that I can give up my 
hard copies...
sorry, no way Jose!

However 
I love 
the
way
Online versions 
can 
amaze me....

Check out 
Lonny's online magazine!


and 
scroll thru
to page
41!

The Waverly ad on that page
surprises and delights...
(maybe I am easily amused)

I think you will enjoy it 
even it you are not a mag-addict like me...
Happy Weekend!

Where did the time go....?

As I sat out on my back deck today,
in the sunshine,
wearing a sleeveless shirt,
face turning pink,
legs hopelessly pale...
I thought
"Where the heck did the summer go?"
I mean,
really!

Seems like just yesterday I was putting a load 
of sweaters away in the cedar chest....

And,
Holy Cow,
Halloween is over,
and Day light savings time
(does it really save anything?)
will be gone this weekend, right?

Well,
get ready...
here comes
the rain...


and the fog


and the snow...


But 
for 
today....
I have a 
pink face,
and a warm body...

Can we talk?

Do you have children?
Do they drive you around the bend?
Are you just about over them?
Are they living with you?
Are they in their sweet little Halloween costumes right now?
Are you going out tonight with dread?

DON'T...
be dreadful...

I promise that this is the very best time of your relationship with them....
some day in the near future,
they will be young adults
 (old children, actually)
and I mean that sincerely...
the relationship will be getting old,
and 
they will still be acting like children.
You will wish for the day that they come to you and say
"I AM MOVING OUT!"
with a huff and a puff 
they will want to knock your house down,
but they won't,
and 
you 
will 
be 
glad 
to see them out the door....
for nature, in it's infinite wisdom,
makes these old children.....
well, let's just say....
irritating as hell.....
really.
not kidding....






So, those of you who are heading out into the cold evening
with sweet little, excited children...ENJOY!
I mean it....do it while you can,
because they are aging too....
and will soon be scarier than 
the hobblin gobblins you see tonight
they will be the 
OLD CHILDREN!
Bwahaaaa!
