FALL IS STILL COMING!!!

Weather is superb, warm days and cool nights, garden is still producing tomatoes and okra, basil is perfect, kale is great lots of herbs!!!!  Lots going on, meetings, coffee girls, volunteering, sewing, family,can hardly fit it all in a weeks time!!!!

A few weeks ago we had a visit from from special friends and their special friends from England!!!  A couple of fun filled days hooting around Lake of the Ozarks, checking out the shops and bars and campgrounds and general
sightseeing!!!  Here we are at the historic Wilmore Lodge and Lake of the Ozarks behind.

Last Saturday Ben brought Devin over for a few hours, and she had on the cutest outfit, had to share!!!!  He found it on a trip to Florida, she is nearly 2 and very vocal and very, very busy!!!!!  She is the light of our life!!!  She also has on Grandma's sandals.  Love the tights!!!!!

And it is tie time again, this time I am working on necklaces made out of old ties, I think the are kind of interesting and fun!!!!  Also a few wristbands which are nothing new but I like the buckles, vintage!!!!  Got a couple of shows coming up, one at the Dogwood Animal Shelter for Halloween and the schools PTA Craft Fair in December.  Will do some scarves with dog prints!!!

Have a wonderful Fall Season!!!!!!

FALL IS COMING!!!!

It is still quite warm in Mid Missouri and today we finally had some rain, much needed!!!!  It is nice to have cooler nights, but still like the warm days!!

We had a nice crop of okra as shown above, we love okra, fried of course!!!  Our raised garden did pretty well this year with eggplant, tomatoes, kale, lots of herbs and what have you!!!  Compared to our Wisconsin garden it's pretty sparse.

Our lives have certainly changed with Dad's passing but we are all doing ok,  Mom is doing really well.  We miss him but we know he is in a much better place.

Today is Dad's 93 birthday, or would have been and our 30th anniversary, as Dave said this morning "who'd have thunk???"  Really it does not seem like 30 years, time flies when your havin' fun!!!!

And almost forgot, here is the celery grown from the cut off root on the left, kind of interesting!!!

Sewing projects keep on coming, visitors keep on showing up and life is good at the Lake of the Ozarks!!!!
