success

Well, at least for the day. Another good order. Now to get my act together. The holidays are coming, really, already??
Yes, when you have a gift business. I really liked it back when the fall meant gathering the prettiest leaves, building a fire, making hot apple cider and waiting to take get my kiddos dressed for Halloween.
Back to being "customly" creative ;)

leaves, country roads and dollar coffees

Today I had an early birthday present from Dave. He insisted we go for a ride and we did. In a HUGE truck, what?? On to south county. Grabbed a dollar coffee at McDonalds. Newmans own.. love it..any size a dollar?? Ok! Then on past Tanglewood into a unknown driveway and voila. he bought me an artist easel. It is very cool, very used and perfect! Now, maybe, he says I will take the time for myself. He also got me a very cool book of drawing ideas and paintings, etc. Then we came home and I cut holly for Christmas. He rode Mater for fall cleanup and overall, had a wonderful day. Shipped some gift boxes and spoke to all of our kids, which is always nice. Ah well. I pray for all of them. Off to dinner and maybe some sketching?

I thought I loved the fall.. I do.. I do...

The other day the leaves were brilliant. It was a gorgeous scene. Today it is cold, bleak and windy. No snow, but I am coughing and have the chills. Oh boy. Lots to do but right now, I'll have a cup of tea and sleep.

BRRRRRR and mmmmmmmmmmmm

fall is here.. leaves are changing, awaiting news on a new grand baby, a new job, a few auditions, a few trips and business ...phew.. I think it is time to build a fire and pour a glass of wine.. after I make a few more gift boxes of courses..
