Wrapping up October

It seems like I went to bed October 1st and woke up and it was October 25th. How did that happen? I love October and I don't know where it went. I didn't get to do a lot of the things I like to do, specifically the pumpkin show or at least a pumpkin patch with the grandkids. Oh well, they'll be more Octobers. I am excited however at how it is ending. I'm leaving today to meet Mike at market to see the new showroom and catch up with some old friends. Then we will drive to Pinehurst, the golf capital of the world and play a little golf and let Mike rest and relax after a very successful market. While I'm gone I will be getting a new bathroom complete with a bubble tub! Yahoo!

I've been slightly emotional lately. Not sure what that's all about. My oldest grandson is really growing up and I am struggling with that a little. He is such a special guy and he seems so old lately. I remember him being born like it was yesterday. I'm struggling a little with 4 of them being an hour away. I know, I know... I need to put on my big girl panties and get over it. My gosh, they've been there for a while now. It seems like I am having a delayed reaction to them moving. I love visiting them though, what a great place for them to be. I really am happy for them.

Mom seems to be doing pretty good. She has her days but overall she has kept a pretty good attitude. Talk about big changes! I hope I do as well as she has. Well, off I go to celebrate the end of October. You'll find me on the golf course!

It has been so long since I have posted a blog.  I'm not sure why.  However life has been very busy. Mike and I went to Florida for a few days over Labor Day Weekend.  It was fun to go somewhere new and different.  We have had a beautiful fall season so far.  Its really nice to be able to keep the french doors open to the porch this time of year, not too hot, not too cold.  Mike will be leaving for market Sunday and I am flying down to see the new showroom and then we will drive to Pinehurst for some relaxing fall golf.  It's a great way for him to unwind after market.  My sister just left after spending a few days with us.  Always good to see her and it does mom so much good.  I know my mom misses her, wish she was closer.  The grandkids are all growing and loving life.  They are such happy kids, my life would be so quiet without them.  I am thankful everyday for all five of my wonderful blessings.  Trying to start on some gift projects for Christmas, I better get hoppin'!
