Hiddy Ho Sweet Friends,

*

Hope your week is going well so far.

*

Yesterday I spent the bulk of the day with my sweet Dee,

since she was off from work,  we took my car in to get

an oil change and shopped at Ross for a lil bit,

the went back to Dee's and made dinner, hubby

came from work and we hung out till around 9,

hubby was trying to help them with some computer

problems they were having.  It was a good day!!

Yesterday, I bought my first Christmas presents of the season!!

*

They are for a ministry we do at our church every year,

called the "Toybox Ministry".  It reaches out to people

in the church and community that need some assistance

at that time of the year.  It has truly been a well thought

out and well executed blessing to so many.  We love

participating in it as well.

 I had a young friend last year whose husband had left her

with 3 children, and she definitely needed some help,

and she was able to go, and she said she never felt so

 loved and encouraged.  She said I felt like a

 "queen for a day,"

they had someone carry all the things she picked out

for her children,  and wrapped it all,  and put it in the

car,  and had her pick a gift for herself,  that would

be for the children to give her,  and they even gave

them some Christmas cards,  also,  she was able

to get a bikes for 2 of her older children.  It really

made her Christmas!  Now isn't that what it is all

about anyway!!  Just love hearing these stories.

My header pic is of all my lil real pumpkins I got

at walmart last week for .25 & .50 cents.

Aren't they pretty,  I love the white and yellow

striped ones,  never saw any before.  I used

them in different places but decided to make

a lil vignette of them for my blog.

*

Well,  I took pics of Dee's bedroom decorations

but most of them didn't come out because

I used the flash,  and because the camera was

evidently going dead so the last 6 I took where

all blurry.   Guess I will try again the next time I go,

and make sure I charge up the camera first!! lol

*

It has been a quiet day today,  sort of dismal

outside,  mostly cloudy today,  yet warm about 84

to be exact,  and you know how I feel about that!!  lol

*

Where Oh where,  did my Fall Weather go!! 

I think we are suppose to start getting some rain

in the next few days, so the night time temps will

at least be in the upper 60's.  Hey,  beats the

70's anyway!! 

*

Guess I had better get started on din din,

think I am gonna make some good ole spaghetti

and meatballs,  and since I am sort of saladed out,

I think I will be wierd and make a green bean

casserole to go with it.  Scott will be happy anyway,

that is one of his favorites.  Course,  my hubby is

very easy to please so he will like it too.

*

Thanks for stopping by today,

and Have a really nice evening with your family.

Blessings and Hugs,

Nellie
