Autumn Falls and Halloween Hushes


This has been a beautiful Autumn. I will remember the burst of colors in the trees and the leaves dancing as they fell to the ground. One of the most beautiful Autumns I've seen in Kansas. Time for closure and cooler climate. Time to take a deep breath and sigh. Relax and begin planning for a festiveThanksgiving and a Christmas joy.

Autumn falls and Halloween hushes.



Before I close this chapter for the year, some jack-o-lantern pictures will be shown along with Hello Kitty Costume on Toddler. Toddler's Momma decorated her as well as herself and had a great time on Halloween. This is the third Halloween for the girls to be home.

We had beautiful weather last week-end to harvest in the trick-or-treaters for a candy bar.



I really like sitting in the Parlor and waiting for the children to come to our door for a treat. In our little town, we still dress up in a costume and go out for candy. This is a benefit for living in this small town. Hubby did the honors of preparing our smiling jack-o-lantern that sat on our porch. He did a great job! I lit the candle...BOO!




After Halloween, we had candy to spare so I have done my duty and ate more chocolate than usual. I liked the 100 Grand Bars and Baby Ruth.



I wish these munchkins had rang my doorbell! Just pulled heart strings via internet.


We had a wonderful Halloween 2009 and I think it is now time to close this chapter in my book. We'd quickly get use to the Time Change on Sunday. Now we forge ahead with late Autumn where the temperatures are chilling out and prepare for Thanksgiving!

Coat Weather is just around the corner and so is that Turkey,

That Little KItty, or Pink KItty as we call her at our house is so cute!!! What a great costume!!!Your daughter looked so cute too, I tried to get my daughter to dress up, and she could not come up with one to Match Baby so she did not, I thought she should have been Peter Pan!!!!

Dd,

Enjoyed all of the leaves, the trick-or-treaters, carving the pumpkin and eating candy bars with you! (That was the best part, being with you in the parlor, reminiscing).

Great pictures!

Oh so cute! Great fun but not a good idea to put pics on of chocolate bars on-it reminded me we still have a few and I had to go grab a couple! mmm-good though.
Enjoy your weekend,
Carolyn

Sweet, sweet pics, Deanna!

It has been a wonderful fall, although here in Alabama it has not been cold yet. Just a little cool. We have some more time to enjoy the season before all the leaves are gone.

Your family is so beautiful!

Have a wonderful, blessed weekend.

Andrea

P.S. You had mentioned that your husband had experienced a problem with SVT's before. Did he have a cardiac ablation? Just wondering about the procedure, for Jeff will have one next week. Thanks.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom

through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
