Beautiful Sunny day

This is the sweatshirt I got myself at the craft show yesterday... it fits perfect and I have been wearing it every chance I can get already... I also got My Great Grandaughter a winnie the Pooh and a blanket to match. Its so soft and cuddly I couldn't pass it up for a birthday present for her. We are going to her party the 15 and I didn't know what to get her.. It was meant to be. I had given her a smaller winnie the pooh and winnie the pooh books when she was born and her daddy reads it to her almost every night. Now this one will be so soft and cuddly and will get her into the mood for sleeping. So I got 2 really nice things and then I took my Daughter, Shari and Daughter in law out for lunch and we had a special day. Lots of talking and laughing and reminiseing. It was also a nice sunny warm day.
Today after church we went to look for a pasta maker for Teri for Christmas but I couldn't find one. I ended up looking in the QVC site and found one there. She loves pasta and especially home made but doesn't always take the time to make it from scratch because of rolling with a rolling pin... I thought she would have fun with the machine... I hope anyway.
Rich and Carley were here yesterday and today after we got home... Carley played with the neighbor girls almost all afternoon so I didn't have to entertain her like yesterday.... That reminds me I found some cute Barbie clothes for her at the craft show yesterday, Now maybe I can find her the perfect suitcase to put them in and some more at another show. She has so many dolls that I believe this is the way to go... No doubt Rick or her mother will get her yet another doll. :) She does like to dress them and play house with them etc. So that is 2 presents out of 22 ~ Well, its a start anyway. haha  Still plenty of time left but the hardest part is deciding what to get.
Hope you also are having a beautiful day, Sandra
Opps, I repeated myself from yesterday. :(  I forgot I had an entry. Thats what happens when I get busy and excited I guess... Sorry

Good Morning. So far its kinda cloudy here in Green Bay and cool. We are still having nice weather for November. It has been in the 50's and thats good. Yesterday I went outside and cut back my hydrangeas and got the roses ready for winter... still have to add some mulch around them though. I was so engrossed in my work I didn't see the birdhouse hanging and bumped my head pretty good... is getting better already today though so no harm done. When I came in to eat John Kerry was coming on tv to concede. He is a good man and I am sorry how it turned out. The only good thing I noticed ~ no junk mail yesterday and no phone calls on the answering machine... what a plesent relief.
I have a feeling noone is going to be able to read this. too darn small and I set the type at 14... sorry
Hope you have a very happy day!  Sandra
I just got this picture of Carley that was taken on Halloween... she sure looks different with brown hair and braids, doesn't she... I think for now I like her natural blonde hair better but I think she had a good time anyway.... :>)

Charlie and Twinkie

My poor little Twinkie has tears in his eyes because I used a flash... I usually don't but it was such a dreary day today... I don't think I will again especially if he is looking right at the camera. I felt like a meanie but put the picture in anyway because he is just so sweet.
 I spent the day today putting the Halloween things away and doing laundry.... Tomorrow we will go to vote and if the sun is shinning I will do a little more work outside... I guess I won't be finished until the snow flies. I always seem to find more to do but its nice to get fresh air every day too.
I hope whoever you vote for wins and I hope who we vote for wins too... is that possible? I hope we are all voting and voting for the same person, lol

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Halloween ! 
Hope you get a lot of little goblins at your door... I just love seeing how cute they all are don't you? We are going to a Packer Party at my daughters house but the goblins won't be coming until 5 so we should be able to cover it all... It should be a fun day... Hope everyone has a fun day and evening too. It looks like Halloween around here with most the leaves off the trees already... Some of the Maples in the neighborhood still have their pretty yellow leaves though so its still pretty.... November is coming too soon I say... Im still waiting for summer, :>)

  Oh, I almost forgot, a friend of mine sent me a quince in the mail the other day and I was wondering if anyone had any recipes for quince... I didn't like eating it raw so I added a little water and sugar and put the pieces in the microwave for 3 min and it was good that way but was wondering if anyone knew more... Its brand new to me.

Warm and Foggy morning

My Grandaughter Mindy and her friend Alex went to a Halloween party last night... Mindy the french maid and Alex the Butler who did it... It says I killed him in fake blood on the towel, haha I hope they had fun but I bet it was fun just dressing up... Oh to be young like that again...
Its warm here again in Green Bay today but right now is very foggy. I hope it lifts and we get a little sun. I cleaned off the patio yesterday and put most of the things away but the table and 2 chairs are still there for me to have lunch today...
There isn't much else to say today.... Teri (Mike's wife) and I talked already this morning and she is happy to be home and on vacation... I probably won't see her until Sunday at the party though... It will be a good day Iam sure... Sandra

Rain again

Its another rainy day.... Now I don't have to decide what to do. I know I can finish cleaning my closet( I just did) and I know I can go shopping but I will not be working in the yard. Its not really important anymore to do any yard work though. We just have to put away the table and chairs and a few little odds and ends we had to decorate... most of it is put away already. I remember many years we had snow by Halloween not much but it sometimes starts then... I will be ready... I heard yesterday if there isn't any frost when we get a full moon in Oct. it won't freeze until the one in November... we have had frost already this year so I wonder what thats all about? Anyone know?
I just thought of another thing I have been ignoring... under my bed I have a large box of craft items... I will clean that out and give lots away and only keep what I have used in the last 2 years.... unless its something expensive, you know like an engraver etc... Thats something that you don't always use be its nice to have... Maybe I will hang some of these things by the workbench downstairs.... I have to talk sweetly to Leo and see if its all right ( its his workbench I guess) LOL
Mike's wife, Teri is going to be in Green Bay tomorrow. She will stay with her Dad then her sister and then her Mother for the first part of her vacation and then next week she will stay with my daughter Julie... She is going to cheat and come by us on Sunday though and Julie is going to have a big Packer party.... There won't be a game the next Sunday I guess and Teri is happy about the party so thats good... Shari and I and Teri are going to go to a couple of craft shows while she is here next week.... don't know if Julie will go or not. She doesn't really like craft sales so we shall see. Anyway it will be nice to see her again.
Have a nice day, Sandra

beautiful sunny fall day!

I guess Carley figures she had to stand on the sofa because she wanted to get the picture in. At least she took her shoes off first... lol. She was over to keep me busy Sat and Sun afternoon with son Rick. Now I won't see her for 2 weeks, so I have time to rest up. :)

I have been  cleaning my room and basement as I go down there... basement just as I see something I don't want down there anymore and today I got my dresser drawers cleaned, finally. Just clothes etc I use so I won't have to dig for what I want... Its a good thing!  :)Now I only have that one half of a shelf in the closet.... it has some boxes filled with I don't remember what so I will check that out tomorrow and be finished in there...oops I think i have a box of craft stuff under the bed that must be sorted though.... havent used some in awhile so its time to share I think.... Its such a good feeling to have time finally  to clean up the house... I still do have a few things to do in the yard and its a beautiful day yet so maybe I will get out there .... Iam also doing laundry so this is a busy Monday...
Hope you are having a nice Monday too, sandra
P. S. My son Rick took this picture, not me but with my camera
Well, I made it outside afterall. I put the last load in the dryer and went out to play.... it was so warm and nice I was humming to myself while I was taking the vines off the fence for another year. It only took a little over an hour so that was just a nice time outside in the fresh air...I'm already looking forward to them to start growing in the spring, haha...
