October Blessings


“October” with it’s gorgeous colors on the trees, bright beautiful flowers, the smell of burning leaves, sweaters, boots and “blankies”... Hats for the cooler weather, fun times at football games and the many spicy scents of Autumn floating in the breeze. The month is nearly gone and Thanksgiving will be here soon, so we send blessings to you, as you spend this season with the colorful folks you love!
There is not much news to tell, being as I was sick right up to this past Saturday and still feel like I’m in recovery! LOL
I had a serious case of “Cabin Fever”, so we did take Aly to BouncerTown on Saturday afternoon. She had a ball and had to ‘tackle’ every single attraction there! No pictures, though! Again, just wasn’t up to that… will try to capture a few soon!
Papaw J. took Aly to the “Pumpkin Patch” on Monday and she totally loved every second of it! She wanted the biggest one out there, but neither of them could carry it, so they chose one they could handle! After we have it ‘fixed up’ and placed outside, we’ll do our best to snap a few pictures for you to view. THANKS, Papaw for such a fun trip, for our Aly-girl!!!

Do you know of a Mr. or Mrs. Bucket (AKA: “Bouquet” from BBC) in your life or part of the world? You know the type… the person or persons whose aim in life is to impress their neighbor, friends and important people? Doing their best to give the impression that they’re of high social standing and incomparably superior to those around them, while proving all the time they really aren’t? This is not to say, there is anything wrong with taking a LITTLE pride in ones self, though! LOL Caring about the clothes you wear, a bit of high maintenance from time to time, etc. Instead, a 'Bucket' is usually focused more on the attitude of me, me, me and in… “Keeping Up Appearances” at all times. Now, while this can be humorous, it isn’t always so funny to have a ‘Bucket’ around in our own everyday life… Lord, help ME not to be a ‘Mrs.’ Bucket… unless it’s just to give others a good laugh!!!
