Ketch-up Day

 

How are you? How was your weekend and how goes your week?

We went to Blowing Rock Tuesday.

Here are a few shots from the car. And they really don't do the mountains justice.

This was taken at the outlet mall. I thought it was a fun idea.

And we picked these up at a little outdoor kiosk.  The raspberry and pistachio cake weren't as good as I anticipated, but that cheesecake. OMG.

AND

More Eternal Garden Pics

Besides 'tater plants cropping up from the compost pile, looks like I've got a tomato plant going too. Heh.

I had to get a hydrangea pic in for Andrew:)

AND

FYI: For those that read Westerns, the e version of  Keeper Tyree is free today at Amazon.

 

That's it for today:)

Ketch-Up Day

We're back.

What we've been doing:

We celebrated with friends last week where the HH got cake #1.

Then we made a quick trip to Southern Illinois and Indiana.
On the way, we saw snow in the mountains in the Pisgah National Forest. Apologies for the blurry pictures, they were taken from the car.

The next birthday celebration was with my family at Harrah's where he got cake #2. By the by, loved the candle. It opened like a lotus flower. As you can see he's a Cub's fan.

From there we went to Southern Indiana to visit with the HH's sister and brother-in-law. While there, he got cake #3 (decorated in Chicago Bears colors:)

They have a new home that is quite nice. I fell in love with the master bath and wanted to share it with you. I was quite intrigued by the door. It's on gliders and as you can see, replicates a barn door.

Walk-in closet.

Bath.

Powder room.

Shower.

Double sink.

Nice, huh? And yup that's me in the mirror. The pictures came out dark and don't really do it justice.

Now back on the road and driving through the mountains..

And finally...

Home.

AND...Speaking of birthdays.  A belated Happy one to Lee. I have been getting soooo behind on blogger buds birthdays.  A thousand apologies. If you've never been to Lee's blog it's always filled with fun and yummy recipes.

So what have YOU been up to while I've been away?

Monday-Tuesday

We made our annual pilgrimage into the mountains to see the fall foliage.

And this jumped through the cracks in my garden walk.
