Finally Fall!

-
It is finally Fall here in Colorado Springs.
The locals say that autumn is making a late arrival, but I have
thoroughly enjoyed the lengthy summer!
I must admit though that when I went out this morning
and it was rainy, and the trees were changing colors,
that autumn sneaked up and charmed me.
These pictures were not taken at the local
Farmer's Market, but from the display
on my coffee table.
Welcome Autumn!
I had an e-mail from a sweet friend the other day questioning
if everything was OK in my family. She said that
I hadn't posted on my blog since the middle of September
and she was worried.
Just in case others have wondered the same thing,
all is well! We are just super busy!
I have been in the Denver airport for the past 3 weekends
and will be there again this weekend flying
to Houston and to Las Angeles.
Busy, busy times but things should calm down
in November just in time for the holidays.
So, please don't give up on checking my blog.
I will return when life gets a little back to normal.

HAPPY AUTUMN, FRIENDS!

Glad to hear that all is well with the Gibsons. I knew you were on the move a lot. How was the retreat at Deer Park? Bey they really enjoyed having you. It's fall here in London too, and I'm looking for some colors!

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
