well done!!! d harriet I like that you bought a orange sweatshirt - it will make such a cute picture with grandson. I am not into anything gory at all! I like the snoopy halloween, sweet pumpkins etc., apple/fall theme (cute but not anything else), one year I made dd on a 420 sailing boat : she thought it was great.

I laughed so hard when I read about who will get the quilt lol - My house for sure

well done!!! d nancy - that's great! I know your d family will appreciate it.

the week of September 1rst I am pulling all my halloween and placing it in the back room.
before then I am hoping to get the things together I want to make this years scare crow

I am starting to think about what and what is not important for my family this year. And with sweet d mil gone I want to make sure we as a family continue the love and the togetherness she gave us. It's so easy to separate by in-laws and non in-laws. I would miss them too much. So I am praying all of our efforts will keep us continually close and together.

Thanks Blessed. I also found in my closet a white fleece zip up jacket with holly leaves on it.

I put some meals ahead in the freezer some soups that will be great on the colder days.

Going to make up more red white and green yarn projects. Nope that yarn was gone. Will lok bext time I am at the store to get cool whip, stove top stuffing, gravy mix, and turkey roll.
