Kemper is better. Holly is better. Thus, I am better. I really had a good day and I am so excited to feel the winds of change blowing my way. The cool air makes me so excited. I went to HEB and bought some marshmallows, whipping cream and decaf coffee with a special flavor great for Fall. I have a feeling we will have to savor every cool moment like I do the time I have with my children because it won't last nearly as long as I would like. You can see the page I finished of Holly. I cannot believe how old she is. And then the picture of Kemper makes him seem so thoughtful and pensive, like his father. Where is my little baby? Got some scrapping ideas today from my friend and purse designer, KayMay. She has a good eye for colors and pattern that I think I can transfer into a nice page. Hmmm. I'll come up with something. You can see her fabulous creations at www.austinhandbagcompany.com. I already have two of these wonderful bags and I want more. I was delighted to see my friend and I hope she visits my blog. I told her to get one too. As Thanksgiving flies toward us at sonic speed, I realized I need to start planning. The grocery store was insanely busy. I saw people with turkey in their cart. I bought some pecans to make pralines, but I forgot to buy the buttermilk. I love to cook and bake and make candy. Holidays are so good for that and since I won't be going to my mom's for Thanksgiving, if I want homemade goodies, I will have to do it myself. Guess this means I am grown up. What do you think? Holidays also make me remember my friend, Wendy, whose husband is in Iraq. He will be there until mid next year so she will be keeping the home fires burning during the holidays. Say a prayer for them if you can. I know she will appreciate it. So, to close, I want to be thankful. I am so blessed and really want to savor the feeling.
