Monday night football with the boys...

we raise them right here...

Monday night football...

and home made chili- or rather, what's left of home made chili...

Charlie is rootin' for da Bears!

he got his hair cut this weekend...

and then a photo shoot tonight...

cuz he is kinda missing having a buddy to play with...

had a bunch of cuddle time with him today...

;0)

adoption day!

Precious with her new family!

they simply love her...

my last moments with her before the adoption...

at least I can go visit this one...

DH did get the day off, even though all the rest worked...

I loved spending the day with him...

its our 30th wedding anniversary...

and we did usual things...

like laundry, babies, yard work...

lunch and supper after the adoption...

doggie baths this morning...

nothing special...

just us being together is what counts...

now harvest will take him away from me for the next month...

;)

I do not like harvest...

I dread it...

wish is was over...

wish he didn't have to work so hard...

;)

someday...

he won't have to do it...

yesterday's shopping and thrift finds...

found this at the goodwill...

white pillow sham for the living room...

a quilted table runner...

and on the way out of town, Craig pulled over for 2 rummage sales and I grabbed this...

it was marked $5, I offered $3...

she took it...

we did our weekly at Wally World...

I found 2 mens' shirts for me...

love wearing over sized men's shirts...

long sleeve for fall...

grabbed this for the old man...

on clearance!

it was marked $34.95...

got it for $11...

and in case you didn't know...

this is BEARS country...

and so I looked in the baby section and found this for Charlie...

so football Sundays will find the guys in the recliner rootin' for the bears...

in style...

like father, like son...

and guess who followed us home?

don't you just love him?

it was love at first sight for me...

can't wait to hang him in a tree!

now who wouldn't love a happy, scary guy?

we got thunder....

and its grown dark...

I am home alone...

but that's soon to end...

guys will be pulling in in about 15 minutes...

subway tonight for supper!

sweet onion chicken teriyaki for me...

hope your weekend is going good...

harvest is in full swing here...

I have heard the grain wagons and semis hauling over the tracks all day...

train went out this afternoon...

loaded with corn...

the first load out...

and many more to come...

;0)

another fun day with Precious...

and our days with her are numbered...

she is so sweet...

can't wait to see her with her new mama...

she loved to nap on the back of the sofa...

just a couple of feet away from me...

been house cleaning today...

and playing...

and here is my new cubby hole in the corner of the living room...

rose petals and rose hips...

and I spend my down time here...

when I am not napping...

and the kitchen mini make over...

conquering one space at a time...

because the laundry keeps happening and cooking has to be done...

vacuuming every time I turn around...

its just never ending...

hoping to get a shopping trip in tomorrow with Craig...

and then more here...

hopefully a little time outside...

the weather has been great...

you know the kind...

where you spend half of the day putting clothes on...

and the other half pulling them off...

but have been able to have the windows open during the day...

and shutting them at night...

bon fire weather...

hoping to get a fire going this weekend...

if DH doesn't have to work on Sunday...

Craig is working the weekend...

so going to be home alone most of the time, I guess...

the farmers are making lines at the elevators already...

driving changes during harvest, too...

you have to leave a little earlier...

drive a little slower...

watch out for the ones who don't know how to do that...

and do your best to stay out of their way...

;0)

because they are bigger than you!

and you won't win...

have a fun weekend!

got some major stuff done today...

Precious can dance!

but only when she's happy...

maybe we should have kept her...

;0)

been a busy day for all of us...

and she has really played hard today...

she is about to join her new family very soon...

the paper work was dropped off today and all we need to do is meet up with them to hand her over...

but, we have 2 more coming in...

just wait until you see them...

a day of moving things around...

room to room...

a making a new place for me and my stuff...

got plans to do more, but you can only do so much in one day...

hope you all had good days...

we are warming up here a bit and had the windows open today...

but it sure cools off as soon as the sun starts to set and the dew comes on fast...

love fall...
