Happy Halloween!


Halloween is fast approaching! The boys are far too dignified to be dressed up in a costume, so I used someone else's picture of their Shelties all decked out for the occasion. The boys rejoiced that I didn't try to humiliate them.

Happy Fall!


In Georgia we have been suffering from a long drought. If we don't get some rain soon, we will be going on water rationing. Not only has it been dry, but it looked like summer would just not leave graciously. FALL has finally arrived! We are enjoying dry, but much cooler weather. It is time to bring out the sweaters and sleep under a comforter at night. The boys are full of energy and play since Fall temperatures have arrived. We look forward to celebrating Halloween. The boys haven't decided what to dress up like yet, but I know they don't like wearing hats! (see birthday picture)

Apples


Yesterday we left Andy and Roy at home by themselves and traveled to the north Georgia mountains to buy apples and stone ground grits. The grits are called "Georgia Ice Cream." You can see one of the bags behind Roy on the right. Then we went on to buy apples! We bought 2 bushels of various varieties, so we will have plenty to eat fresh and plenty to cook. I have an apple pie in the oven as we speak! : > ) I make apple pies, apple cobbler, baked apples, fried apples, etc. Grits are Phil's speciality. He cooks them every Sunday morning. Andy and Roy like grits too. They always get a spoon full.
