Pumpkins-Pumpkins

Happy Fall Y'all!
I just LOVE all the colors!
So many pumpkins waiting for a home!
My friend and I went to Erie Shores Apple Orchard in MI.
I just adore fall don't you? I don't always like what comes after that but winter can be beautiful too! Even though I enjoy having all 4 seasons, I still miss TEXAS! Have a great week!

What a summer!





Wow today is 10-10-10! How weird!
I know I have been missing for awhile, so many things have happened here in my part of the world. We had a tornado in June that took 2 of our friends lives(6 lives were lost altogether). It also destroyed our high school my son was to graduate from the next day. This horrible force of nature also destroyed over 100 homes in our community and surrounding area including severe damage to our church where my husband is employed. This wonderful little town in which I live, moved into action to help those affected, our smaller church campus (It was not hit by the tornado) became a hub of supplies for the people in need and the workers that were helping others. We worked closely with the Red Cross and United Way to help those in need. Donations came from around the country! It was so amazing! People are so AWESOME! In the mist of tragedy we have seen so many blessings!
My son did walk across the stage to graduate, it was just in a different location. He is attending collage now 40 minutes from home. Now that things are getting back to a new normal, I hope to get back to blogging on a regular basis. I have a lot of things to share!
Thank you to all who have stuck with me!
