Hello Monday ~ October 19, 2026

Hey friends.  My weekend was one of those where I was holding the good and the hard things at the same time.  I will focus on the good for this post!


After work Friday morning, I went to a pumpkin patch with my sister and 6 of the greats.  The weather was delightful, as it was all weekend.  


Saturday morning, one of my great nieces had her 1 year old party and it was a sweet time.

That afternoon, I walked to a local fall fest, which was just a 1 1/2 miles from my home.  They had live music, rides and booths there.
I bought some incredible whipped cinnamon honey that was divine on sourdough bread!
I spent the afternoon watching all the football games/upsets.  I had the TV on multi-view, mainly watching the Ole Miss game, Georgia/Auburn, and the UT/Alabama game.  I was so glad UT won!

Sunday was my daughter's 22nd birthday!  I spent some time being the birthday fairy and decorating a wee bit.  I made breakfast and it was so good to see her again on her birthday after missing a few years while she was at college.
I went to church then met up with a friend who I use to work with for coffee because it was her birthday too!  Afterwards, I met Brook for some birthday shopping.  Look at these earrings....original price $24/sale price $24, ha, ha ha!

Thanks for reading and enjoy the start to a new week!

  1. Happy Birthday to Brook! I hope she had a great day. The price tag is funny. I've seen similar price tag sales at Kroger. The sale price is like a penny less than the original price. Uh, that's NOT a sale! The decor at your great niece's party is so cute- those balloons on the ceiling are a neat touch- something I'd never think of to do. The honey sounds really good and I'm glad you had good weather all weekend.

I'm so glad you have all those greats to look forward to on weekends like this! Their little hugs and voices are the sweetest. I hope your week gets off to a great start...it'll be a busy one!
