Friends and Neighbors

It was another beautiful day in the mountains of NC! My hubby and I had some errands to run and decided to go a ‘round about’ way. I had a general idea of where my friend, Penny lived and not only did we find the house, we went ‘visiting’! They were having lunch on the front porch so we stopped to say Hello! And they were nice enough to put their lunch aside and show us the house.

Here’s the link to outside pics.. Click HERE!

She’s been showing us all the photos of their new house and all of the improvements they are making. The photos do not show the full beauty of the house and the area.  It really is lovely and all the changes are perfect!

Go to Penny’s site here….The Comforts of Home. I didn’t take photos….I felt bad enough that we drove up into their driveway without calling first. Her photos show the progress best anyway!

After that we went to Earth Fare and the HUGE REI store. There are so many neat things in the REI store that we want. It will be nice when we get ready to travel. We are still in the planning phase but that’s fun, too.

Later I walked at the park.

After walking for 1 hour ….that’s my routine now…I grabbed my camera for a few photos!

A man was fly fishing. A perfect day!

I hope yours was great, too!

And thanks Penny and hubby for inviting us into your home! Come by and visit us soon!

Hello friends,

I'm your Vitameatavegamin girl.

Are you tired, run - down, listless?

Do you poop out at parties?

Are you unpopular?

The answer to all your problems is in this little bottle.
VITAMEATAVEGAMIN.

Vitameatavegamin contains Vitamins, Meat, Vegetables, and Minerals.

Yes, with Vitameatavegamin, you can spoon your way to health.
All you do is take a great big tablespoonful after every meal.
Mmmmmm.... It's so tasty, too! Tastes just like candy!

So why don't you join all the thousands of happy peppy people
and get a great big bottle of Vitameatavegamin tomorrow!

That's Vita-meata-vegamin! (wink)

Here's the long version on YouTube....well worth watching!

I Love Lucy "Vitameatavegamin" !

I go from feeling like I am simplifying my life
to being totally overwhelmed.
Does anyone else live with guilt?
I feel like I can never do enough
or keep up with everything that is important to me.
Anyone else have the same problem?
Do you think we need some Vitameatavegamin?
Or does watching old I Love Lucy shows help?
We watched "My Favorite Brunette" with Bob Hope
last night and it was funny.

Have a wonderful Friday.
I need to make a list of "Things to do".
That always helps! lol

Our day so far….

We’re having the best day! It is sunny and bright (and too windy to walk) so my hubby and I drove over to Blue Sky for lunch. I had a Turkey and Swiss on wheat berry bread, toasted to perfection with Sweet Potato Fries on the side! OH MY! They are so amazing! Crisp on the outside, soft inside with Kosher salt sprinkled all over. We even had a cup of coffee with our meal. Then we stopped at the library and I found a November Southern Living magazine in the giveaway stack…which makes my day! (photo from the park)

Next we stopped at LuLu’s  and I found 2 Gooseberry Patch books. They are not the regular cookbooks. They have recipes and crafts. How neat!

I even found a Golden book I don’t have!

Then when we got home, we saw a C-130 flying over so I zoomed in and got some great photos!

My hubby loves seeing military planes

so he was as excited to see them as I was to get a new magazine and Gooseberry Patch books! lol

We had a beautiful sunset last night.

Enjoy your day!

I’m going to get some work done now! BYE!!!

“Wednesday Wee Ones” Annie dolls

My hubby came up the stairs with a big box yesterday…. and I carefully opened it….dug through the peanuts…. and here’s what I found!

My sweet Annie doll from Raggedy Sandy!

Oh my! Is she not the sweetest little girl in the world?

Wendy wanted to hold her first!

Wendy says, I AM TOO BIG enough! lol

Oh, and look at Wendy’s little Mary Janes!

My daughter in law made them just for her! Aren’t they sweet? Thank you, Jeannie!

 

And then this pretty girl said she could hold TWO at the same time.

They do look so sweet together!

The cute little Annie in pink is from Brenda at My Little Annies! I love her, too!

Wendy saved the little rag doll that was drowning! I hope Brenda from Cozy Little House sees this!

I know she still worries about this doll!

Have a Happy Wednesday!

Take time to PLAY and GIGGLE, too!

Adventure and bird cages!

A few more photos of our adventure last week.

 

We made a stop to walk around downtown Brevard and find a few treasures AND buy a loaf of crusty Italian bread at Bracken Bakery….oh my! We ate a slice of it on the walk back to the car!

(I have a little bag of treasures from the store, “Gravy”!)

We both LOVE the toy store! O. P. Taylor’s!

I don’t remember showing the bird cage that I found for my kitchen. I had planned to paint it black but decided to ‘live with it’ for awhile in the original white.

I haven’t done much more as far as decorating my condo.

We’ve kind of settled in enjoying the condo life.

Have a wonderful Monday!

A Beautiful Fall day!

We drove down to the mountains of SC one day last week to try to find a little more Fall color. I remember being surprised that there were mountains in SC but the northern part of the state that borders NC is very mountainous and you even cross the Eastern Continental Divide.

 

I hope your day is lovely!

Enjoy every minute of every day!

Happy Halloween!

What a busy and FUN week we’ve had! I have so much to blog about but I haven’t been home enough to spend time on the computer. I love it!

A photo of the sky yesterday on a little trip we made that I will post about later! It was an amazing day full of fun!

And for a surprise in the mail yesterday….this is just the cutest little gourd I have ever seen!

Lynda from the Haunted Swamp made it! She hand painted it! Isn’t it cute….I mean SCARY!

 

I love all my favorite blogs and when Celestina Marie posted the recipe and photos of her meal on Tastey Tuesday, I knew I had to make the delicious salad! Thanks Celestina for sharing so many wonderful ideas on your blog! What fun we have!

Doesn’t it look pretty?

My hubby wanted less fruit and more cheese on his!

I hope everyone enjoys their Halloween fun!

Happy Halloween!
