Weekend!!

Getting Ready for Halloween

Got your carving knife ready?

The painter of light, Thomas Kincaid captures the Fall season at its best.

After a very busy week, we three ladies gave ourselves a day out and rode to a new casino some half hour drive away;  a small place, different machines which know how to keep their coins safe and secure..smile....but fun while it lasted.    The girls went off to town and looked for a yarn shop as Chris is the knitter of the family and left me to play a keno machine.   It was fun but the numbers I choose aren't the ones that pay out no matter what combination I tried.  I had fun trying a few of the newer machines but they still have not caught up with the Nevada machines.   They don't put in those with a lot of graphics.    We had lunch at the restaurant there and the food was excellent.   A cute small casino we will ride back to another day.    I worked hard at the Gallery so was treated to a day out.  The girls are not a gamer like their mother....the one who wants to win a 'big' one to share.  It would be such fun to have money to put to good use.  Meanwhile I had all the leftover food from the last Gallery function and shared as much as I could.   Ron stopped in last evening so I treated him to a snack in payment for the newspaper cryptoquote he saves for me every day.   He said I didn't have to pay him back but I noticed he didn't leave any crumbs...smile.

Off for a refill...don't go away.....

Hot and black....tasty.....yum......want some?  I'll share.

While waiting for the last perk I spied a new picture one of the ladies was going to give away to Goodwill and I said I would like it so it is hanging on my kitchen wall.  It is a Botanical Sampler by Mary Hughes.  There are nine frames with the larger frame with pictures of Blue Violet, Baby Breath, Rose, Day Lily, Innocence, Queen Anne's Lace, Peony, Poppy and a Pasture Rose.  It is very different and quite a conversation piece, and it looks like it belongs there. 

So, I am off to enjoy my Sunday.  No plans today, just shoes off and kick back and do a lot of nothing.  Now doesn't that sound good?   Maybe you should try it.    A day of rest. . . we can all use one.   Take your shoes off, find an easy chair, turn on the TV and sleep through a show or two.  If you are really  bored, stop bye as I have a 'nasty' puzzle on the puzzle board that needs to be finished.  At the rate I am going it maybe on the table until Halloween.   Be good, be kind, be gentle and above all be loving.   Your goal for today is ten hugs, more if you get moving early.   Meet, Greet, and Smile so you bring a little cheer into your corner of the world.     Hugs to all.
