Pocket Pal Letters

I finally completed my first pocket pal letter--my first effort paled in comparison to the one I received in a swap! I swapped with a girl living in Canada, and she decorated the front and back of her pocket letter! I'm showing the front and back of hers, and mine that I sent her from Alabama! I'll do it again, when the temperatures are too cool for me to be doing anything else outdoors!

Fall into cooler temperatures

Fall is my favorite time of year, for the cooler fall temperatures, for the house décor, for the idea of harvest...for fall football games, delicious apple and pecan recipes, and even sleeping under a light quilt! Brings back so many wonderful memories for me! Hope it does for y'all too! Wanted you to see my mantel scape I've created on the stone mantel.

Last year, I decorated my mail box post; and I'm looking for a stand of dried cornstalks to do that very thing--may have to get out on the back country roads and do some wild, dried stalk collecting!

Celebrating a Monumental Birthday!

Late August, my elder sister and I traveled to Mobile to help celebrate our Uncle Mel's 99th Birthday! What fun we had gathering with our cousins and their families! So much joy, laughter and tears, even, as the Birthday Bear that our sweet Mama had purchased for Maureen so many years ago, sang Happy Birthday to Uncle Mel (Mama's brother) and his eyes just watered and so did ours! A month earlier, we had celebrated his birthday at the Family Reunion--had had birthday cake with all his relatives that come out to the reunion. Many of us gathered again--smaller number--to celebrate with him in his home on that Sunday afternoon. Here are some pix of the day!
