Such a Beautiful Sabbath...

This has been a spectacular weekend for the foliage. Everywhere the maples are flaming and the oak are turning beautiful shades of rusty red. It was so stunning as I drove into church this morning I was inspired to turn around before I got to WalMart and drive back home, just to be able to SEE it all again. It was the combination of the morning light and still hazy morning mist from the rather humid night that we had, I suppose. Whatever it was, it was stunning!
I came very close to totally missing Sacrament today. Between the gas prices dropping to $3.05 per gallon and the scenery, I wanted a mini-roadtrip. But reason won out and I settled for a few pictures around the yard after church. Hope those of you who are "seasonally impared" will appreciate them.

We're Really Very Comfortable!

Bob and I are getting along pretty well without Dad. He is gone on his tour out east and we are managing things here. I have nearly everything moved. There are just the books and little messes in every room yet to get after, but do-able. Then the cleaning...yuk.
I still have to chase down curtain rods and a toilet paper holder that match my other stuff. But I hate to leave the office for a long daytime trip and I think it can easily wait until Dad returns. Yet, we rather like it here!!
The house is quiet as a tomb! You don't even hardly know when the train goes by. So the overdone insulation is working. The in-floor heat came on the other day and it was really nice. Toasty toes.

Cookies!

I actually found enough ingredients to make cookies today! Note them on the counter.
The counter is the table under the window, if you're wondering! Everything at your fingertips, right?

The Bathroom

This room is shaping up rather well, also. I like the curtains and I'm really happy the plants are here now.

Schnitzel is really Happy Now!!

Yes, Bob is back in HIS bed and doing just fine. Since Dad has been away on his tour jog, Robert has taken over the middle of the bed..it is causing a few problems, and adjustments, mostly mine.

The Kitchen Sink...

Well, it's just Dad and me so this set up isn't working out too bad! I wash in a big basin
bowl and simply dry atop the dryer. No fuss, no bother!

Sleeping in Here Tonight????

I don't think so, although it has been suggested by someone I won't mention....
They should have the beadboard up here in another hour or so, if everything goes all
right
