busymom I'm on the way! Vanilla bean. I get so homesick Frankly, it really should be a bit colder for apple crisp. I've just been craving it. The temps here are moving back up, & we're supposed to be in the 80's once again next week.

We're going to have temps down into the 40s next week, daytime temps only in the 70s. I can finally turn off the !@#$%^&*! a/c.

Hello my fantabulous Saturday peeps. Why does the week after a short holiday week seem so freaking long? The TV weather nerds are raving about cooler temps here next week -- in the high 80s. I hate these people. I ran some errands this morning after swim practice, including tracking down another bag of caster sugar. DH liked the chocolate chip biscuits I made, but to make more required more of the same ingredients. I had used the last of the caster sugar so a trip to the local gourmet market was necessary.

Good Morning Kids! I got up early so I could get a couple of errands done before the crowds were up & out. It is cool here. You can definitely feel Fall in the air.

Just waiting for the kids to drop of DGS. I'm tired today and spending 12+ hours with a toddler isn't really what I want to do, at least he does take a nap. I also get why they don't want to make a kid who hates his car seat with everything he has endure 8 hours strapped in one.

OK I am back now. DH wanted the biscuits I made for myself, but with white chocolate and butterscotch, so I made those for him. Also ran the dishwasher and swept up the kitchen. I do plan to wash the car later. Probably won't mow the back lawn until tomorrow afternoon.

Today is going way better than expected. My little charge is having a morning nap, Grandma even laid down for a little while. I feel better now. He has just been a little angel and didn't even cry when they left. I think he is enjoying playing with all the toys without having to share.

Good Afternoon! Thanks for serving up such a yummy brunch, NancysSummerSip ! This weekend has sort of sucked rocks. First, the sale on our house in Florida might not go through, due to the potential buyer's mortgage company using an out-of-town company to estimate the value of the house, which of course came in low. *Removed*

Good Afternoon Kids! Since none of my tulips bloomed this Spring, I'm digging up my entire tulip garden, and replacing the bulbs. Gotta do it after so many years anyway, so it might as well be now. I surprised myself while shopping at the garden center, as they didn't post that their bulbs had gone on sale, so when checking out, I had the pleasant surprise of only paying $20 for $40 worth of tulip bulbs.

Good Morning folks,
Did you hear about the guy riding the horse on the highway in Chicago? Hope all is well on your end.

Good Evening Kids! Yes, oakheart, I saw that on the news. I guess Florida doesn't have all of the crazies. It's the first day of Fall, but we've got Summer weather here. The only way you can tell it's Fall is the leaves are starting to turn color, and sunset is coming earlier. But, with the warm weather, I was wearing capris while I ran my errands today.

We have rainy and windy weather on the way. I got a few more outdoor fall chores done today before the rain hits.

Good Afternoon Kids! I did a quick errand today, then hurried home as I can see rain clouds in the distance, most likely heading our way. It's another Summer-like day.

Just talked to DB Up North. It's warmer there today than it is here and was yesterday, too.

Good Evening Kids! You're going to think I'm crazy, but it took 3 days for me to track down spice cake mix in this town. DD's birthday is coming up, and that's what she wants. I should've bought it a couple of weeks back, when I saw it everywhere, but now that I actually want it, the stores are cleaned out...

I went to the store today and saw something I hadn't seen in years, chocolate cake twinkies. When I was growing up those were only available in the summer and it was considered a real treat when you got one in your lunch while picking berries. I bought a box and they weren't as great as I remembered.

Good Afternoon Kids! I've already been doing housework, and did the glamour job of cleaning the bathroom. Now, after lunch, DS & I need to get some errands done. We've got beautiful warm, sunny weather, but can tell Fall is here, as our large ash tree out front is turning yellow/gold in a hurry.

Hello peeps. Long week, glad it is over. Will be meeting my niece and her boyfriend for lunch tomorrow. Looking forward to that since I have not met him before.
