Ketch-Up Day

 

Whacha been up to while I was playing ketch-up?  We finally got to see the Grands and, of course, thoroughly enjoyed them.  We especially wanted to see the youngest before he has his surgery at St. Judes. I loathe the fact that he needs the surgery, but I am so relieved that he will be having it there. It's a delicate procedure and one the surgeon specializes in.

AND

I had a mammogram the other day and as I left, they gave me a silk rose.  

 

AND 

It's after Halloween but I got such a kick out of these pics that I wanted to share. One is my sister and one is my SIL.

 

AND

 In our area, it's local elections and yes we voted (early).

It's also

 

And on that sweet note, I'm going to leave you...at least until tomorrow;)

Ketch-Up Day

 

 How are you? How goes your week? We went to Mooresville and putzed around. Oh my gosh. There's so much Halloween decos out.  I love it. It's fun. Halloween is certainly giving Christmas a run for its money. Money being the operative word. Heh. The HH surprised me with this mug for me.

I'm still weeding and staining the fence. I will be finished....Someday. Maybe.

I was reading an old favorite, a Barbara Michaels' paperback, and I frequently had to stop and and tape pages back together. Out of curiosity, I checked the copyright date to give me a clue as to when I bought it. That paperback was over fifty years old!

AND

The Eternal Garden  and critters in it:)

 

I find these guys fascinating.

 

I'm fascinated by this hibiscus. After the bloom falls off, what is left looks a flower, doesn't it?

 

AND

From California.

Thanks, Denise;) xo
