What's New

Hi all!  Here's an update about what's new around (and in) our house.  

This is my first crochet project of the season.  It's a baby blanket--and NO not for me, but for a friend. :)  






















Here's a few fall/geocaching pics from a week or two ago.  The leaves are just about gone now-or at least mostly all brown.


Apparently I was really excited about this tree.  Or something.




This is at an outlook point we found.  We really enjoyed the area, and plan on placing our first geocache(s) along the trails here.  


Sugar and Rosie came along for the hike, too.  Rosie stayed in the car, and Sugar should have stayed as well, because it didn't take her long to get tired and quit.  So the majority of the hike, she was my jacket-companion.  Who needs a baby when I have the dogs? :)







TODAY, we took a little roadtrip to an apple orchard.  We went here last year, and really enjoy this particular orchard.  We picked raspberries and apples, and spent the afternoon geocaching along a nearby trail.  To make the evening even better, we were able to eat dinner at Chic-Fil-A.  We were especially excited about this part of the day! :)  The nearest Chic-Fil-A is well over an hour away from where we live.  





 


















































Geocaching...




This was a creative container:














This was the trail we were geocaching on.  Absolutely beautiful!

Thomas even made a new friend...

...but it wasn't real.

Okay, now for house updates.

This was the enormous mum we got a month or so ago:

And here it is today, in it's full glory.
Man I love this thing.  I just hope I can get it to come back next year.

Now for the grand finale.  Our kitchen is officially renovated!  I am so excited to finally take a break from dealing with updating the house.  Here are the befores and afters.
































































Well that's enough pictures for one night.  Hope everyone is doing well.  We are getting ready for the "Franken-storm" that's coming our way!  Last year it snowed on Halloween, we'll see what crazy weather we get this Halloween.

Keep In Touch!
