My fall decor...

The first two pictures are the items I bought half off at Rite Aid...

That is my favorite starbucks mug in the pic.

no, it's not decoration, I was about to drink out of it.

My fiber optic cat

He faces the front door.

I also have a pumpkin on the floor in front of him too.

I'll have to take a pic of both with the lights out.

I bought these last year...so I think you seen these and the

cat above last year.

I didn't buy the bales of hay or any mums this year so the outside looks a little bare. I'll get a picture of it in the dark too. We are supposed to be windy this weekend thanks to Sandy and it will be a lot colder next week...Yay!! 

Hubby got his new glasses Friday (the other ones were just new frames for the ones he had). He asked if I wanted to go somewhere to eat, so I said yes and got ready. Usually we meet somewhere when he gets off work, but he came home this time and we went on my vehicle. He kidnapped me and next thing I knew we were at the mall... via Marshalls first... I try to avoid the mall as much as possible...ha. Wasn't too bad I did get two shirts out of the deal...he needed new dress shoes for work. We went to eat at the Mexican place in town when we were done. It was good.

Have a great weekend,

A trimming we will go....

Hubby bought me a present yesterday, isn't he so sweet.

I told him I need to buy some flower stickers to decorate it.

When he cuts the grass I help by trimming and edging. We have an electric one he bought in Mobile when his gas one got temperamental about whether it was going to start or not. It was no fun for me having to move it and the extension cord around the house so I mentioned a battery operated one. Well we quit cutting the grass and hired someone to do it until this past week. Our guy had been out of work, but he now has a full time job and doesn't have the extra hours to keep cutting grass. Good for him, I'm so glad he found a job! So anyway, Hubby cut it yesterday and I got a new trimmer :-D. To save trips back and forth to empty the lawn clippings, we put one of the blankets the movers left behind on the ground. Hubby would dump clippings 3 or so times and I would drag it to the back and empty it and come back. Now today it is raining.

By the way, I love the trimmer, so much easier to use...they have the blower that uses the same type battery, maybe that will be next on the list...

Have a great week,
Sheila

Getting ready for Halloween...

Hello all,

I love this cooler weather we are having. Went to the pharmacy (R.Aid) the other day and they had their fall stuff 50% off so I found me a little scarecrow with dangling feet and also a 'Happy Harvest' pumpkin to sit on my fireplace mantel. I put out the Halloween stuff but I haven't bought any pumpkins yet. I'm not going to get the hay bales this year for the porch they are too much trouble. Trying to decide if I want to fix something to sit in one of my rocking chairs...maybe Mike Myers or Leather face. I have a mask for both. I asked hubby if they had coveralls at work and what color, he said blue...reckon you can borrow a pair until after Halloween? Ha. May have to check a thrift store to see if I can find something. We fixed one like Jason from Friday the 13th way back in Kansas.

Poor Hubby broke the arm off his glasses last weekend so he went in Tuesday for an eye exam and new pair...I taped the arm back on so he could wear them and he got a lot of nerd comments at work...ha. The new glasses are supposed to take about 2 weeks but they ordered him another frame for the pair he had and they came in yesterday. We picked them up then went to eat at Applebee's... I was not impressed, I tried the turkey sandwich with fried green tomato and I don't know if they toasted the bread with butter or oil but it was greasy. We also ordered french onion soup and they were supposed to bring it first, but after they brought out the food we had to remind them we had soup also... Seems they were better when we lived in Texas.

Roll Tide,
Sheila
