Autumn Giveaway???

Well, there were no comments left for the book giveaway, so I will give it to a sweet friend instead. I think a lot of you already had this book, so next time I will try to choose sometime very different. Have a lovely day.

Autumn Giveaway

And here it is...
The book that will be included in my Autumn Giveaway is...Mary Jane's Stitching Room. This is a great how-to book for instruction in handiworks. Many of the projects include patterns for knitting, sewing, crocheting and tatting. There will be some other little goodies included, but I will only post a picture of them on the day of the drawing, which will be on Tuesday, October 6th. Wondering how to enter? Just leave a comment on this post and only this post in the "share a thought" section directly under this post. If you do not have a blog please include an email address for me to contact you with. Please this is for the continental United States only. This is my first giveaway and I hope that you will enjoy it.

Giveaway soon...

I will be posting about a giveaway in a couple of day. I found the perfect fall book by MaryJane Butters. There are lots of crafts and handiwork explanations and this makes it perfect for those cool autumn days with Christmas just around the corner. Anyone want to guess what it will be? Come back in a couple of days to find out.

Playing at the Beach

My children doing their favorite things at the beach.

The Boundary House

This is one of our most favorite places to eat. The blackened shrimp, flounder and salmon are excellent. We all love their house salad and house dressing and the smashed sweet potatoes leave my mouth watering even now. Love the croissants (made locally) too!

From Under My Umbrella

This was the view from under my umbrella at the beach a couple of weeks ago. I love to sit there and read books. This time it was For the Children's Sake. I really miss the time with my husband and children.

Tea Birthday Party

These are pictures of the lovely surprise tea that my darling daughter did for me on my birthday back in the spring. She prepared all the food herself and kept the entire thing a surprise. She used the help of her brothers (one to keep me out on errands long enough to prepare everything) and the other to help her around the house. Our home was full of sweet friends and good food when we returned. Thank you to my sweeties for my special day and thanks to all my dear friends that helped to make my day so special.

Missing Mom

Sometimes you just miss your Mom, and lately as I grow older, I really miss her wisdom. How I would love to just sit around and have a long talk with her, but that will have to wait. She has been gone along time now and so has Dad. I love my parents.

Anniversary

Had a lot of fun spending time with my guy this past weekend. I hope we are blessed with many, many more.
