Ketch-up Day

 

Oh my gosh, as most of you probably know, Helene smacked North Carolina. Over thirty people have died.  Asheville was hit hard. Chimney Rock Village was destroyed. Over two hundred roads are closed. Hundreds of thousands are without power. Homes and businesses under water. And the list goes on...

The HH and I were very, very lucky.  We got about seven inches of rain and downed tree limbs and, knock on wood, that was the worst of it. I hope those of you that were in Helene's path were and are safe. 

My preparations: I stocked up on water and made an extra pot of coffee in case the power went out. Heh.  As you can see, I've got a ways to go on the Eternal Staining of the Fence:)

Did you know, you can use wax paper to clean:wax residue, dusty surfaces, rods, hinges, doors, stainless steal, appliances, glass and mirrors? 

*Have you tried it? How did it work for you? I tried it on several different things and I found it to be okay, but not what I was hoping for.

Ketch-up Day

 

 How was your weekend and the beginning of your week?

We finally went to visit the grands. With the HH's back issues it had been a year since we'd been there.  We got to see the granddaughter play volleyball.( She shot the winning ball over the net.) Watch Thor with the grandson. Play with the youngest grandson AND the cat and dog:) And enjoy our son and DIL AND lunch with a dear friend. Oh, Oh, nearly forgot, while we were at the restaurant, we started chatting with the woman behind us in line. Turns out she was the aunt of Chicago Bull's Coby White. 

Did you see the Harvest Moon? Got a couple of shots, that don't do it justice..

 

AND 

We finally got the support posts and wires up for the blackberry bush and grapevine. They were relieved:)

  

Has anyone gotten any  Food Lion mums? They're huge and VERY reasonably priced.

AND

This is a tree at my son and his families' house. Notice anything odd about it?

It has at least two little trees of different varieties growing in it. There's a third as well, but I'm not sure if it's a plant or tree.

AND

Frank's book pick of the week is by David Baldacci.

Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? Whatcha been doing? I've been working on setting up a business account on Pinterest. Good gracious. Pinterest is fine, but I'm pretty techno challenged. Does anyone else out there have a Pinterest account? Any words of wisdom you'd care to impart?

Not much else going on here. What about at your house?

AND

The garden is getting pretty sparse, but it's kept me hopping with staining the fence--I think I may have it finished next year:) mowing, adding pavers to the walkway and weeding

 

 

 Note: The leaves are just starting to fall.

AND

Just for fun

Frank has his eye on you....

And from Illinois

Thanks, Randy

AND last but definitely not least.

 

Have a grand week.
