Unexpected pocket of fun part 1

Amy has a night dinner meeting in Cleveland tonight. I rode along to keep her company. First stop was Wendy’s. (She hadn’t eaten breakfast)  They were offering a key card for $2 to get free tiny Frostys for a year. We bought 2. Got a tiny PEPPERMINT Frosty. 

You do have to buy something else to get it. Still…

Headed to Indianola first. Amy wanted to go tho the Pecan House for Christmas gifts. But look at all the pecan trees for miles. 

The Crown Restaurant didn’t disappoint. There is catfish under that yummy sauce. 

Beautiful bayous. 

Lovely room at the Cotton House. 

While Amy is working I got to have a burger in my room. 

November rushes by

Lucy gave Pippin a doctor outfit. Dr. Scabbers

Now he needs a nap. 

My two snuggling up. 

Ivy came to visit!

Branch totally covered with lichen. 

So cool. 

Broadmeadow windows. 

I think they are so pretty. 

Bobbin controlling Coco. 

Fire manager. 

Mary Grace won’t like me posting this but they looked so cute. 

Got to worrying that we weren’t eating enough vegetables. 

Oh lort where does the time go?

Poor Ed. The fall leaves drive him nuts. He blows then every day. 

Dogs are a big help with the fire. 

Book club at my house. 

Love white pumpkins. 

Took no pics of food except for these pumpkin muffins. 

Favorite new book mark. 

Mom ‘s October Table. 

More fun!

Gorgeous wedding. 

More on that later!

Let’s just get the pet pictures out of the way first. 

Full couch. 

Coco. 

Way too big to be a lap dog. 

This makes me so happy. We haven’t been using the fountains since the dogs started pulling the pumps out and chewing them. The recent dry spell dried them all up so it was a good time to clean them out and start over. I just love the sound. 

Everyone was happy about it. 

Stay away from that pump little baby. 

I had to buy this to make that cake last week. It has been torturing me until it had the grace to finally go flat. I kept taking little sips of it like it was a drug. That bottle had 65 grams of sugar in it. But I sure love me some Coke. 

Birthday party

Celebrated Jan’s birthday at Sophie and Paul’s lovely home. 

Those vases are vintage coffee servers. 

Caught these three. Mary Grace came without her walker!

Everywhere you look there is something special. 

One of my old rugs. 

Old Planter’s Peanut jar. 

Didn’t take a picture of the birthday girl 😕. But here is her cake. Coke cake. 

Got together with Vick this week. Crab Seafood Shack on the Reservoir. It was a gorgeous day. 

Vick looking gorgeous as well. 

The blackened grouper was pretty gorgeous too. It felt like we went on a mini vacation. 

I just had to add this picture of Scarlett. MG and Ryan kept her for some friends over the weekend. She had the cutest corkscrew tail. 

Candy

Just a follow up.  Mom didn’t know what I meant by a Candy charm. It is a charm for my bracelet to remind me of my friend who passed away in January. It is so hard to lose a friend. I’m still sad every day but everyone else has moved on. She was such a big part of my days. 

I had to laugh at this because it is Christmas and we are wearing sleeveless tops. 

Look at the Princess. 

Play time. 

If you need me , I’m currently unavailable due to reading the most incredible book. Not for everyone but I love it. Wish Candy was here to read it. Fortunately I have fellow weird book fan , Pam to enjoy it with me.
