Again I will be attempting to blog through my week just on this one day designated for me.. I do so much enjoy blogging and all the dear friends I have met here, so I will attempt to keep up as best I can!
This week I have two blogs to catch up on!
♥♥ The Weather ♥♥
We, like the rest of the country, it seems , will be enjoying ( NO WAY) the return of summer midweek due to that horrifically large stormy mass that has hit the west coast and will be affecting every one. But praise God, it will only, truly, affect us on Wednesday, then, thankfully, Autumn magnificently pushes through, just in time! I will gladly get all my errands accomplished in the morning on Wednesday!
Monday sunny 85/66
Tuesday Sunny 85/66
Wednesday sunny 90/67
Thursday cloudy 78/50
Friday sunny 71/46
♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
I got up to watch the funeral proceedings of the Queen and I do hope I have cried my last. I do not know if it was because of our recent visit to Scotland that I am feeling such an affinity to this or what, but I think being there and enjoying the beauty of such a magnificent place and knowing how much the people there admired her, plus I am 40% Scottish, I just feel closer to her than ever. Also, my very first memory of watching anything on tv was in1953 her Coronation.. I have admired all of my life , you might say!

I absolutely love the blue transfer ware against all the Autumn colors! Because of the sale at Replacements I was finally able to finish off my set of Wedgewood, English Countryside plates. I will enjoy passing this set off to Amanda when the time comes!!
The below photo is our Autumn look on the hutch.. Last week Hubs and I went to our favorite pumpkin patch and purchased some natural items for decorating!
We have worked hard to get some wall groupings accomplished this season.. Below is a gallery wall that tells a story of our family!
I shared this one before... the gallery of animals we actually saw while in Scotland!
And lastly, I love these plates from Royal Stafford I found on Etsy for a real bargain.. three for under 30 dollars. They are very unusual and unavailable, anywhere else. I love how they go with this arrangement hanger. I was thrilled to actually be at Hobby Lobby last week when all the florals were on sale 50% off. Usually, I only see just a few items on sale! They seem to have the most realistic, I've seen!
And below is a sneak preview of the den wall of bookcases.. They are painted, the cabinet doors are ready for hanging, the radiator is painted and we made the decision to not build a seat around it.. ..at lest at this time. Poor hubs is ready for this project to be over. We have ordered the shutters and hopefully they should be here in 3 weeks!!! PS. We got a call today that because of their large size they will not be able to be manufactured here locally, so it will probably be 10 more weeks!
*****************************************************************
1. Volume 478. Sounds like a lot. Where were you in 1978? If you weren't born where were you in 2008? In 1978 I had celebrated our 6 th year of marriage and was into my fifth year of teaching, having spent my first year of marriage living in Germany with my army husband! We lived in a cute 1200 square ft rancher in a tight little neighborhood. I had rededicated my life to the Lord a few years previously and was deeply involved in my church committee work that followed me from one church to another for the next 20 years… social chairman! Whew!
2. Raise your hand if you remember records playing at a speed of 78 rpm? What's a topic that when it comes up you 'sound like a broken record'? My parents had several 78’s! I suppose it would be politics, but most of our friends share our same values. But my dear parents and we did not agree on anything!
3. What's the last thing you recorded in some way? I have been uploading things on to my new blog focus, which encourages a closer walk with the Lord!I don’t record but I do upload several different kinds of media into these posts. I create posts or God every other day of the week, but Saturday is for my regular blogging!
4. Thursday is the first day of fall (in the northern hemisphere). How do you feel about the changing seasons? Something you're looking forward to this fall? I cannot wait for Thursday. We are expecting a deep plunge in the temps. I love cooler weather!
I am 52% Scottish! Maybe we are distant cousins? I love all of your fall decorations and the color of your bookshelves! Crazy how long it takes to get anything delivered these days! We are keeping an eye on the coming hurricane. It should be here Wednesday/Thursday, so we are told. Have a blessed Sunday and week ahead!!
