Being that it's mid-week….OCTOBER FIRST IS HERE.
Early this morning thunder rumbled as flashes of bright, white light popped through the window. The curtains and shutters did not prevent noise from entering the bedroom at all as I rolled over in bed and went back to sleep waking around 7.

As I drove Lil Miss to school this morning, the detached green and orange leaves that have fallen into freedom rippled across the road as if it were a type of earthy colored snow.  Relaxing that Autumn is here there will be cooler nights as the temps acknowledge a changing in the SEASONS as I think of Halloween Candy, Thanksgiving Dinners and Christmas CELEBRATIONS.  Temps were cooler in their 6os and I sighed with relief that it wasn't blazing hot this morning.  A more refreshing way to start the mornings off.

Crock pot roast with white onion slices, chopped potatoes and baby carrots cooked all day as I ran errands.  I left the peels on the potatoes knowing that more nutrients are remaining.  No dessert tonight, but if I had made some it would have been white cake with sweet, white frosting as my sweet tooth is craving. 

I had a great day.

Time to shut down and get rested for a new day.  

The sound of thunder started up again this evening,

P.S.  Pray for God's wisdom concerning difficult relationships.  
He will help you when Jesus is your Savior and you're filled with God's Holy Spirit.  Wisdom will come.

Cravin' some chocolate cake......

chocolate cake.

The week-end is here and I need energy to have a productive one.

Check back with you next week and see how things are going.

With October here, my goal is to surrender items over to thrift shops and ministries,

clean from top to bottom the master bedroom,

stitch those curtains I have been meaning to,

prepare for cold weather by getting the radiators cleaned,

decorate the porch and house with pumpkins,

celebrate a Grandson's 3rd Birthday and

Harvest some candy.

Lord, help me....somewhere in here 

I should bake a sugar-free chocolate cake for my sweetie.

Isn't putting mayo in cake batter the secret ingredient 

for a moist moist moist chocolate cake?

Getting ready for a yard sale and have so much to get done before the sun rises.  
Suppose to be chilly in the morning...no rain.

Hot chocolate weather!

Praying,

bundt cakes galore and a 80th birthday

There have been days that I feel like I get so little accomplished, 

but not after 21 cakes came out of our tiny torn up kitchen.

Celebrated my Mom's 80th Birthday 

with three flavors of Bundt Cake plus a regular white.

Hubby and I became team players and rolled up our sleeves to create

Double Chocolate, Butter Rum with Pecan Bundt Cakes and French Vanilla 

plus white birthday cake.

Transporting these cakes took some doing.  

Cakes were boxed and carefully handled for traveling
to where Mom lives to have her birthday celebration.
I could not have done all of this without my thoughtful and helpful husband.

Packing up for the trip.

Party time!

Pictures of days gone by to view and an over-sized card to sign.

Coffee, Iced Tea, Water and Punch to drink.

Flowers came in from love ones and friends.

Family pictures on display.

The room was prepared and soon the Guest of Honor, my Mom would arrive.





Guest of Honor.

Cousins that have not seen each others in years.

Cousin Diana shares about her mother's last earthly days.

Brother-in-laws that still talk to one another.

Did I tell you that my Mom has a sense of humor?

Mom hiding behind the flowers when I asked her for a picture 

before we all sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

She hugged so many people that her rose corsage began to droop and fade and it was artificial!

We all sang to her and I think she was touched.

 After we sang, A LIFE SKETCH was read and then refreshments served.

Mom with a classmate.

Cousins.

Mom with her sisters.

Val, Esther and Edith.

Children, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, Son-in-laws, Daughter-in-laws, Husband, Sisters, Brother-in-law,
