Grand kids were here playing peacefully earlier today. Dear daughter said that they have the interior walls on the main floor up and now they have power so progress is being made.
The grand-girls have a birthday party to go to after school is out at the sitters. And they were excited about that. Mon. is usually home work night. I had a gift for a birthday here for one of the girls but sent it with them instead. Today before school #1 dear grand daughter read two chapters, she was ready to go back to school, she knows all the grade one spelling words already, and dear son has her up to speed on her math. She is in a play at school too.
#2 dear grand daughter is learning to write here letters, pre-school home work is one of the new things here with the new “no child left behind” program. I don’t know how people do it if they have more than two kids with home work! There are some things I just have them work with their dad on. I did get a primary journal for #2 dear grand daughter at the store last weekend. I have one too, I am just sketching on the top part in mine. They have been getting me to help them with pictures and drawing in theirs too.
Tonight we are going to have meat balls for dinner, I rolled them out last night. Time to think about getting those going in a few.

Fishing Derby Dinner / House Building
Last night we went to the closing ceremony for the steel head derby, a dinner that consisted of chili n cornbread, they had door prizes I won a hat. They had a band and dance after the dinner and door prizes were handed out. A couple needed a seat and sat with us, I knew the gals mom and sister from a spinning and weaving group I was in a while back. So that was fun. They had been married 34 years.
One of the vendors there was selling clear wire mobile service, they are going to come by and see if they can get any service up here or not on Monday.
Our son helped working on the new house dear daughter and dear son in law are building. They put up exterior walls on the 2nd floor. Dear son said he will be helping on his holiday break and was excited about that.
I cooked up some squash for their chickens to eat. I hated to just toss these decorations I'd decorated with so I put them in to the oven, made us late going out for dinner Fri. night but we did not really have an appointment so it worked out fine. I have one more to cut up and cook, it will be for us. Maybe lunch today!

Turkey Day Dinner & Christmas Decorating
Turkey day dinner was a hit we have added a new element grand kids like to light candles before we stand in a circle around the table and pray. I set up the table with good dishes and stem ware. The layers of scents in the house first the turkey, then coffee, and others as the day progressed, the lemon yellow table clothes were fun, and the orange punch was a festive addition in the color of the season, stem ware and toasts were another fun new addition.
I got out the lolli pop tree and other festive decorative items this weekend as I put away fall items, I went through the things in the storage area and put away off season items, and got out some for the new season and swapped out the décor, wreath on the front of the house is different now. I got out the holiday print items in storage, we had forgotten about some of these items; sox, shirts, p.j. ’s, and teddy bear to go with the Christmas quilt mom made, coloring books, reindeer toys, and and books made it fun and even more festive weekend.

Getting Ready for Thanksgiving
My dear sis called tonight and will not be able to make it some others are coming in their place. We’ve had this cold fog this week and we are supposed to get some rain that will help in getting it out of here, that is great news.
I have been working on the inside getting it ready and hubby worked on the out side cleaning the carport today. It looks a whole lot better and was quite a job. We did not get the lights up on the house yet.
When were over town yesterday we were able to see the holiday lights that are now up and lit for the first time. They were pretty.
We watched the movie "noel", a drama about angels, not my favorite type of movie for today I should have gotten a comedy.

Holiday prep.
Holiday prep. is in full swing here. Family is coming for turkey dinner here eleven plus guests, dear son is cooking the turkey I’m doing the sides. Decluttering and filling trash cans after sorting stuff in the basement in the toys and TV zone.
Leaves are just starting to fall so I’ve been working on those. It’s great weather here 48-50* I’ve been watering bushes and plants because it’s been such a dry year.
Hubby will be off work next week, and will put up the outside lights,
and boating and fishing is on his to do list.

Trees
Yesterday at the farm I enjoyed hike in the woods, seeing moss and mushrooms, hubby saw some game, the quiet when I stopped to just listen I could hear the sound of the hail hitting the ground and the bird calling the screaming of an eagle or hawk over head. Occasionally we could hear guns going off in the distance it’s hunting season. Fresh deer and elk tracks were around as they always are. There was snow on the next hill, and we could see a patch here and there of snow / hail when we walked. With so many homes in this glen where the ranch is it’s not really a safe place to hunt.
The damp smell of the forest pine needles and moss was pungent with aroma. We hiked up and down these two hills a couple of times to mark fence posts for not hunting with bright orange paint. I had a orange jacket on for safety. We packed a lunch sandwiches water snacks and soda. Figured we had five miles of hiking in great exercise!

My Week at a Glance
Sunday We voted our county has mail in only ballots. I miss going to the poll made it seem like and event and a way to celebrate our freedom.
Mon. Granny duty chore day. It poured down rain, hubby came home looking for rain gear, found it in the back of the truck, he fueled up the car gas is down about 50 cents here.
Tues. Errand day I had a blissful day, only half day with grand kids,
car pool the bus drive had a family emergency and I appreciated the opportunity to get out of the house. Then I went shopping and had great success finding containers for my theme gifts, a stack of books,
and jeans for hubby. I saw a friend at the store a gal I see at the shops and places I go, she had just been from the dr. and was not having good news. A divine appointment, I prayed for her on the spot,
she had a blood clot in her neck.
Wed. Work day granny duty begins in a few min. It’s the daily grind stuff, laundry, picking up the house, the living room looks like a next with books, note books, pens, pencils, sketch books in the chairs, barely any place to sit, I’m missing my office. I’ll be getting it back after grand girls move out in June after their dad’s wedding. The sun rises this week have been really awesome here this week; rose colors yesterday, and I was delighted to see a gold one this morning. Dear grandson and I went to his new house building site and we helped it was great exercise moving boards, picking up blocks, snapping chalk lines, and hammering in a few nails for interior stud walls that will be going up in the basement soon.
Thurs. Is my writing day. Fill my tank day, I'm hoping to get some reading done too I want to finish taking notes on one book I'm almost done with only two chapters left, and finishing up another one I have going.
Fri. free day is a no school day here because of Veterans day so that may change.

Reomote Control Deer
I have been getting ready for the holiday season and things are coming along nicely, I’ve always wanted to do a camping event for turkey day, I may get my wish this year.
Hubby found the “left-overs” from poachers at the farm last weekend and had to call the game warden. They left behind a knife so that is going for evidence. Next weekend we will have to do no hunting markers on the fence posts, these, then the game warden will be putting up a remote control decoy deer.
We have decided to take the camper up and it will be good so we can get lunch, and warm up. Soup is on the menu. This is close enough to count.
Daughter in Love ~ to be’s parents got a new place, tongue and grove wood interior walls it's a log cabin and last night she said they have no water the well is nearly dry, and the sellers had to worked on the pump.
Dear son said some other people he knows had well problems,
that had never had trouble before ever, it’s been such a dry year here has caused problems what a bummer!
New job is going well, I’m watching dear grandson while he plays with his cousins and his mom works on the new house they are building less than miles mi. from here.

Daily
Today I’ve done my morning stuff dishes laundry kitchen chores;
lost six lbs. and went for a walk, we are supposed to get a rain storm before the day is out. A rain storm is supposed to blow in here tonight and dump several feet of snow in the cascades!
No grand kids here today #1 dgd got strept throat we caught it early and she is on meds now. Hoping to stop this before any one else gets ill.
I was going to watch dear grand son 3 this morning while his folks did a concrete pour on their new house, but they had a rain delay so I got the morning off, this is sweet because I was up early and got my stuff done sooner than I’d hoped.
I cleaned my rings and polished the silver and took a nap!
I un-kinitted four inches of a baby blanket I to correct a mistake. I have some of it knitted up again.
I have some verses to add graphics to now I hope I can get those or the pictures I need for this.

Wireless
I am SO excited found out there is wireless close to the house at the corner when I was out for my walk I asked the guy working on it!!! So glad I took my walk when I did,
a storm blew in after I got home so my timing was great. I walked 2.5 mi. today so feeling good about that.
Clear wire is in our area the is intriguing, having that where ever, not just at home.
I’ll be checking in to it. As well. And there is high speed cable in the area too we've had that before. Our son thinks we need to have pc capability for the ones that are not wireless too. I’m not sure I think that is a priority for me any way.
My finger is healing up, learning what I can do one handed now quite a bit actually and the family is pitching in to help this is good. gkids had fun trick or treating last night, despite the rain. We only had like 5 trick or treaters here Mon. night rain does that.

I’m glad to be able to type!
I have made out a list of 10 goals for next year, and thinking about where I want to be next year at this time; it feels good, dear son will be married looks like we will have the farm decluttered by then too.
Focusing on strengths is good, and on continuing to learn, books I’m reading.
My web. design class, and swimming lesson car pool time slots have been freed up for the rest of the this year, this is good so I can focus on the holidays and some things for the first of the year.
I took a long walk on Sunday 2.5 miles in mile sunny 51* temps and I was able to enjoy some great weather and process a lot that’s been going on around here. This weekend I enjoyed painting and drawing, I got some knitting done too. Dear granddaughters helped me bake up a few cookies.

Shopping Fun!
I was at the fabric store last Fri. it was busy, and the sound reminded me of buzzing like a hive of bees with all the gals in there shopping. It was very inspiring just to be around all that energy. I was looking for some thing did not find it in there. A mag. personal journaling I can no longer find I think they have stopped publishing it, I really enjoyed that one I’m sad to not be able to find it. =(
We painted wood craft last weekend, and next we are doing to glue paper and I tore up some scrap booking papers for the girls to colage with for the next crafting project, now I need to find a container for them to collage. We have some paper craft ideas to use for our next crafting session with granny.They love it we have snacks and tea or juice in mini tea cups if they want. The girls had fun and visited like hens at a hen party! LOL!
While shopping I did manage to find some new books:
The Power of A Positive Woman
by Karol Ladd
The Martha Rules
10 essential for achieving success as you start, build, or manage a business.

Grape & Raisen Pie
I had a great time yesterday with dear grand daughter in the back yard we were playing tea party, and espresso drive through at the play house. And then we played soccer, picked some grapes for a pretend grape pie, and I told her about grape pie, and raisin pie, and raisin sauce granny used to make.
I did some gardening and got some pruning done, the weather was great,
sunny with clear sapphire blue skies. Today I took some great pics. on my walk with the cell phone camera. The fall flowers are lovely after the much needed rains we had last night and this morning.
Today I’m got done with granny duty for the week. I finished the pink baby blanket and I have started on the next one green white and blue.
My sis said she’s going to be a granny again any day now, the family is growing, the granny thing is not a temporary job!

Tools of the Trade
Party decorations are like my tools, a carpenter has a hammer and nails.
I have bows bells and silk flowers to decorate for weddings, parties and other
events. My tools are kept in boxes.
Ack! A couple of people have suggested tossing the bows, and table clothes
when done with the event. There is so much money that can be saved by
reusing these items. Another way to save is by getting them at yard sales
and or thrift shops. I get my things out that I need, after the event separate
out the colored things and set aside the white bows and bells from the colored ones
and see who needs them for upcoming weddings etc.
Tossing them unless they are totally ruined is just not acceptable,
we have used some of these items in like eight events! I have cleaned them
up to reused again and if we can't use them then I'd at least like to donate
them to a place that will recycle them for the next party or other event.
My challenge has been to get others to understand this.

Seasonal Workout Changes:
Fall swimming lessons are starting up this month.
Swimming and working out at a gym, fall makes us think about things to do to increase our indoor exercise activity level. Considering renewing or getting a gym membership?
Getting out the pedal bike or indoor stationery bike? These are a few things that might be worth considering. I need to remember that Washing walls, windows, moving boxes.
and other cleaning, for holiday prep. counts for exercise too!
As well as fall yard clean up, fall gardening mowing and yard work count too.
raking leaves, hauling wood and or branches off, we have that to do here this fall.
Hubby mowed yesterday it was his turn this time of year I don’t have to worry about him mowing over any of my plants they are done for the season now! LOL!
I’ve been know to just do some Walking in place in front of our favorite TV shows. It’s a great to get the blood moving also. So is doing some shopping.
This past week I got some rubber tubing at the pharmacy it’s good to use on my walks for resistance exercises, and this fits in a pocket, purse, brief case or book bag, for a portable work out on the go when traveling, or on a break. I have a ped-o-meter and that is a one way we have used to gauge our amount of exercise.

This past week I got some rubber tubing at the pharmacy it’s good to use on my walks for resistance exercises, and this fits in a pocket, purse, brief case or book bag, for a portable work out on the go when traveling, or on a break. I have a ped-o-meter and that is a one way we have used to gauge our amount of exercise.
Well that link did not work!
What is Fall?
What is fall?
We went for another walk my granddaughter and I she’s five now earlier this week she was asking, “What is fall?”
We gathered nuts and she started collecting leaves that had fallen, yellow and green ones. It was such a delight to share in her experience of “discovering fall.” I realize that fall is something you can’t explain it has to be experienced! Like the festival with hay rides, pumpkin picking, and corn maze they went to last weekend complete with cider and freshly picked apples at a local orchard.
So what is fall to you?
