Trick or Treat!

The chili is bubbling on the stove top and the corn bread is in the oven. We are ready to great the little ghosts and goblins with sweets. Have a safe and enjoyable Halloween!

Look Mom No Shoes!

Imagine my surprise last weekend when Nick crossed the finish line....

in his socks! I had been snapping pictures and cheering him on the whole race and never noticed that for the first two miles he was running in one shoe...

and that for the last mile he ran only in socks....his time was still incredible...the blisters are still there...what a guy he is!

Broomstick

These are the cute little globes that my sister painted. Mine is unpacked and out on display. I love these!

If people would just start by saying "it's fun," when it seems hard; "I'm happy," when they seem sad; and "I know," when it seems as if they don't, they'd finally discover that it really is, they really are, and they always have.

Flea Market Find

My husband and I have been searching for the perfect Farmhouse Table. We have been to the flea markets, various antique malls, etc. Well, a few weeks ago we spotted a table at the Irvine Flea Market. It included 2 benches and 2 chairs but the problem was all I really wanted was the table, you see I already have several vintage bistro chairs that I plan to use at the table. We thought about the table and decided that we would continue through the next few aisles and see if anything else caught our eye before spending $$$ on this table. I could always re-sell the benches and chairs.

As we rounded the corner of the last aisle we spotted this beauty! The ladies that sold it to us were delightful and it was a real bargain - 1/2 the price of the table we saw earlier! Stop by Flea Market Style for "I'm A Flea Marketeer Party" and share your flea market finds - this is my latest treasure! We love it so much that we have moved it into our French Country Kitchen

Off to the Races!

Just a quick post this morning, I'm sitting here listening to the birds chirp at 6am
on a Saturday. Hubby is with friends this weekend - they will cheer on their favorite team at Lambeau field tomorrow in Green Bay, WI! Our youngest is running this morning at OC Champs, he's running varsity today, his coach gave him his varsity uniform yesterday...he's nervous...we're so proud of him, he's a sophomore you know and our "baby". Here he is last weekend finishing 5th for the varsity race in Huntington Beach. It's going to be in the 80's this weekend in So Cal - hard to believe it's the middle of October. I plan to do some comfort food cooking this weekend, read a magazine or two and hang out with my boys - who am I kidding? My teenagers don't want to hang out with me! My oldest is still snoozing in his room and will be for several hours more I am sure - lucky guy! Enjoy your weekend everyone - it's going to be a great one.
