Festivus

Yesterday we went to Hunsader Farm Pumpkin Festival. We had a good time. You know the old saying that less is more.  I have to say that I loved the farm that we went to in NC a few years ago with our good friends that live in Raleigh.  It isn't too small and it isn't too big.  It seemed just right. Don't get me wrong Hunsader Farm is a great farm but when you have a great experience in your past you can't help but compare. The farm in NC was better for younger kids.   Hunsader farm was bigger, lots more people and had more things to do but sometimes the quaint is just right.  Check out Nathan, he is a hoot.  He wasn't posing.  Just taking it all in.  

It was HOT! Of course a "cold" front went threw last night and it is chilly today.  I once heard a radio guy say years ago "chili today, hot tamale". Funny and very true of our weather here.  I'm not complaining just stating the facts.  

After the farm I took Maddie to buy jeans.  I had a $10 off a $10 purchase coupon for JCPenny that expired yesterday.  Can't waste that! Even though I didn't feel like going shopping it is a good thing I did because she is going to need them this week. Near record lows for us this week.  Don't laugh you non-Floridians high 30's, low 40's. 

Speaking of weather the World Series was delayed for over and hour last night for rain.  GO RAYS!  You should see my van.  I painted Go Rays! with window chalk all over the windows.  I have only had one person honk but it is funny to see people look at me while I am driving.  Anywho, we made philly cheese steaks so we could eat the competition last night. HEE HEE! Marks mom is from Philadelphia so this World Series is a once in a life time thing for us.  Two "home" teams.   Nathan though we were having cheese sticks (his favorite) so he was very upset when we handed him a sandwich.  He didn't eat the sandwich but he did have a cheese stick. We tried to watch the game with the kids but the girls put themselves to bed before the first pitch. It was after 10 when the game started and we had a long day.  
Halloween is less than a week away!  I haven't even gotten the kids a costume for the Halloween camping trip. Camping?  I'll let you know how that all goes.

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......

Dogwood

On our 13 hour car ride to our new dwelling place I had to drop Mark and Delta off at the Chattanooga airport to get his truck. He flew from Chattanooga to St. Pete to come home to drive with us to our new digs.  Chattanooga is the closest airport other than Birmingham (1.5 hours away) that flies directly to Tampa/Saint Petersburg.  The Chattanooga airport is two hours from our new house.  This meant that I got to drive by myself with the kids for the last two hours of the very long trip.  Of course all the kids fell asleep, which is not good when you are leaving your hometown of almost 30 years. First time on the trip it was quiet.  Most days that would be a blessing, but this Sunday was not the case.  I needed noise to keep my mind from thinking about all that was happening.     So what does any girl do in a time like this?  I called my mom. One of the few times I am thankful for the invention of the cell phone.  The drive from Chattanooga to our house is so pretty and there are so m...
