Got so excited to see 'Jack' went beta that I decided to, also! This will be my last post here. Please visit the new *fat-free* blog 'this 'n that'!!

Can't believe they're still here, in Michigan, in October! Never saw them in October until we moved here amongst nature... 300 jack pine trees, bordered on wetland. This will probably be the last day I see them until mid March.

How Sinful Are You?

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!

Can't ever remember having snow before on October 12.

This is my butterfly bush. Hopefully all the butterflies and hummers have gone south by now.

This is my poor geranium planter. We do bring them in before freezing but it sure looks odd but kind of pretty. Guess that's what you would call marrying summer with winter.

Motivational Quote of the Day

"The way to happiness: keep

your heart free from hate,

your mind from worry. Live

simply, expect little, give

much. Fill your life with

love. Scatter sunshine.

Forget self, think of

others. Do as you would be

done by. Try this for a week

and you will be surprised."

Norman Vincent Peale

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry
because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you
love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've
never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute
of happiness you'll never get back.

At least it solves the carry-on problem... hate those carry-ons!!
