There is a nip in the air now.. the corn is turning brown... I spy pumpkins across the way..
glitter..and candy.. and all things mysterious..
a child's fascination with spooky...
a hand crafted rosette or two..

Beware of the black cat bearing gifts!....
ohh.. we are home now from a much needed vacation.
Some special family members flew all the way from PA... to join us on our camping trip..gosh, it felt so good to just relax and enjoy life again..{oh yeah... wonderful DH fixed the camera!! }
We spent a few days at our homestead before heading up to Peninsula State Park in Door County WI...steaks on the grill... sunsets.. catching up since Jan... the special family members are DH's brother and his wife , my fabulous sister-in-heart.. we haven't seen them since my mom-in-heart passed in Jan. and it feels like it was just yesterday..that incredible feeling of 'Famille' ...OHANA..Famiglia
one of the joys of living in the country is when a special event happens.. or when you just want to let loose and shoot some off!... booyahh! crack bang.. and boy did we!
lots of pics taken, lots of memories.. I'll share more later..one thing that was stylish AND useful.. my Ballard bags.. I loaded these bags down and they didn't even blink!! I mean, they are sturdy and the leather handles are riveted into the stylish burlap.... waaay strong! lots of treks to and from.. loooove 'em! They come in a rainbow of colors and you can design the logo to say just the right thing...
Ahh.. it's good to be home..but I will have such wonderful memories of this wonderful vacation we had... good to be back Bellas!
Ciao!
Well, only one more week and we will finally be leaving for vacation!! wahoo!!
How was your vacation? Did you go to the Mountains? Did you go by the sea? Was it a family one? Or did you and your honey get to sneek away?
We will be going to Door County again...it was so much fun last time..we will be joined by DH's brother & sister-in-law..sans pets... it will really be a fun time!
I really miss the beach.. I remember all the shells we collected as a family when we used to live in Savannah Ga.. What is your favorite vacation memory?
Thought I'd share some inspiration as to what to do with all those shells you might have collected on your vacations... What do you think about the ladies?? Fun!
