In Anticipation of Fall...

OK so I admit it, I'm really enjoying the beginning of Fall and what I think is the first hint of the change of seasons here in the Pacific Northwest. 
Though we never really had much of a summer which you can see HERE, you can see the little bit we did have HERE and HERE and HERE. 
Autumn is the time I look forward to cozying in and snuggling with "Pearl the girl" under a warm blanket...

a warm bowl of soup that's been in my slow cooker all day...

watching Turner Classics on a rainy Sunday afternoon...

and the anticipation of the holiday season...

this is definitely my time of year! 

Now that you know my thoughts for the day, I'm hoping along with a little more time inside, I can blog a bit more as well as visit each of you to see what you've been up to, its been a busy summer I have a few projects I plan on sharing in the near future so stay tuned for more...

WE SHALL NEVER FORGET...

If you asked me if I remembered what I did last

 Tuesday I couldn't tell you, but...If you asked me if I

 remembered what I did 10 yrs ago on Tuesday

9/11/2001, I could tell you exactly where I was and

 what I was doing...

Let's "NEVER FORGET" !!!

Oh Beautiful for spacious skies,

for amber waves of grain,

 for purple mountains majesty,

above the fruited plain,

America, America!

God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood,

from sea...

to shining sea!
