Turn out the lights, the party's over...


Thought I'd share a few pictures.

Jarin's birthday cake...she had to get Iron man because
they didn't have Capt. America...no matter, she loves them all...ha.
One of her gifts was a new bedding set.
Cori's portrait of The Joker in icing...
Some harvested peppers...cooked the bells in baked beans.
Couple of days later got 7 more bells and lots of jalepena,
cayenne and others that look like pepperoncini.
 Hubby grilled steak last Sunday so we cooked those bells
on the grill.
My two 'refusing to completely die' tomato plants.
Above the Roma, below the celebrity...



When I took Rylie out yesterday morning, I saw something lying under the pine tree. I thought it was a cat at first, but soon realized it was a young fox. It finally decided to head back to the woods. Wish I had thought to get my camera. Maybe next time I'll catch a pic.

Oh, and I ran out of luck, they changed me over to the new blogger... : (

Have a great weekend everyone,
Sheila

Happy Birthday Jarin...

My first born turned 22 today
or will at 11:22 tonight...ha.

the night she was born...
home from the hospital...
not quite a year old...
around 16 months...
She wanted to eat out at 0live Garden for her birthday so that is where we went. We will celebrate with cake tomorrow.

Went to Wally World the other day to restock some of our supplies and decided to get me a puzzle mat and a box of Th0mas Kincaid puzzles. There are ten puzzles in the box.

We have had nice weather lately but I think it's supposed to rain for a few days starting Sunday. But it will be nice again. I'm really enjoying these cooler temps.

Take care,
Sheila

Where does the time go...




I am back! We are all good. Updated my blog for Fall and changed the photo in the previous post. The other one was animated and I decided to change it. Nothing out of the ordinary happening, Mom is healing from her surgery and going to therapy. But most of you read her blog so you already know.

We had a visit from one of Paula's turtles a while back. I went out to go pick up Jarin and there was a turtle on the driveway near the side of the house. I called Cori out and she took it back to the wooded area behind the house. I told her it looked like it turned around to come back toward the house. I left to pick up Jarin and when we got back the turtle had already made it back to the front and was by the road. We watched to make sure it got across the road okay, I guess it was bound and determined to get back to Paula so she could feed it...ha.

We still have some bell peppers growing along with some other peppers, one is jalapeno, not sure about the other. Got 4 eggplant off the plant a couple of days ago, but mine are narrow, more similar to a cucumber shape. Parsley still growing. Chives are still there but haven't grown any bigger. The parsley and chives were covered up by the squash and zucchini that took over. But I pulled it up after I got some to cook. Hubby had one watermelon that grew, it was about the size of a football, but it was good.

Jarin and I went to see 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' and 'Madea's Witness Protection' Sunday. The first had Judi Dench in it. I had wanted to see it but it never came to the regular theater near us. I noticed on Sunday that it was on at the $2.50 theater as well as Madea's so we went. We enjoyed both of them, Jarin wasn't to sure she would like the first one but she did. I told her I'm a good movie picker...ha.

We are having nice weather this week, sunshine and temps in the 70's and 50's.
Take care,
Sheila
