It was fun for a day but

I'm glad to be

back in the south

where coats are optional. 

are too cute!

"In the beginning it was fun. In the end, it was all for fun. And in between is where it tickles most."

smells like these cookies.  The best part?  They taste as yummy as they smell.

Mmm...

Today, I want to go back home to Virginia.  I want to go to the corn maze with my kids, nieces, and nephews.  I want to visit all the grandparents with kids in costume.  I want to munch on peanut butter fudge and drink orange punch. 

Tomorrow, I will remember that God brought us to South Carolina.  I will bask in the sunshine and warm weather.  I will visit next door with the kids in costume because our neighbor fixed them a special treat.  I will eat yummy burgers and hot dogs with some special people.   

All will be well. 

Time marches on and no matter how much we want things to stay the same, for one reason or another they always change.  This isn't good or bad.  It's just the way of things.  Nothing stays the same.

Love these roses blooming in our yard. 

Still in the upper 80s here.  Cooler weather coming Saturday and Sunday.  

Temps will only make it in the low 70s. 

I may never wear a coat again.
