I have been thinking a lot about my posts and I do have stuff I can post on but I have been lazy...yes Lazy with a capitol L.
This summerfallwinter crap has thrown me way off. It was supposed to be indian summer for awhile, then Fall proper...followed by Winter some time in the far off future where you don't have to think about it yet. But NOOOOOO. We have to have a 90 degree week followed by a 50's week, followed by a 60's week...a couple of 70 degree days thrown in...you get the picture. Do I wear jeans? shorts? my long sleeved fleece jacket? take off the jacket before I get out of the car???
We went up to the (you guessed it) Cabin to winterize this past weekend. The fall colors were absolutely beautiful. We were lucky that these weird cold snaps didn't break any pipes so we got things buttoned up for the winter without having to repair anything first.
Here's a couple of shots I took while we were wandering around by the pond.
I had a great time in AZ. by the way...got to see everybody and spend time with them. amy inspired me to take up sewing again...used to love to do all that stuff. I have never been good at quilting though. She made the most beautiful quilts and I just thought how cool it was because her family will always have them.
I saw Holly and Gary's new house and how cute they have already fixed it. They both have the most unique taste and ways of putting things together that I started thinking about the way I arrange things at home. There are things I could do differently to add interest around my house.
And , of course, I spent time with my friend Kathy, talking and shopping and getting our nails done. We got to catch up with everything and it was so nice to have that time. Then she and I, Jeri, and my other school chum Laura all went to a very nice dinner together (see pic) and then on a gondola ride. We packed a lot into that weekend but it was very satisfying.
One other exciting thing that I must mention is the addition of a couple of cute little kittens to Jasper and Polina's relationship. They are so excited about "Max" and "Pashka". Max is the grey one and Pashka is the white one. Jasper has them in his condo in a huge cardboard box (like a washing machine box) with their crate and litter box in there too. It contains the mess for now while they are little. But it won't be too long before they are able to jump out...and then look out!
"Grandma and Grandpa" are going to cat-sit for them in January while Jasper goes to Russia to meet up with Polina (she'll be home for the holidays)and to meet her family. We will have them for two weeks. Mafia is going to LOVE that. I will take pictures of that scene.
OK, I think I'm caught up for now...whew!
