Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Christmasstar]

This being flag day reminded me of a picture we took beside Lake Champlain in Vermont


the plaque is hard to read so this is what is written on it...
This flag is a memorial to those who lost their lives in the attacks of September 11, 2001.
It was erected by Grand Isles county residents during the 24 hours following the event. Flying from a birch pole set on a sand bar in the lake it was later moved to higher ground.
On September 11, 2010 the flag was moved to this permanent site in a ceremony including fire fighters, police, rescue personnel and ordinary citizens.
May we never forget.
This flag and pole are maintained by the Grand Isle VFW and the Vermont department of transportation.

And a Happy Birthday to your husband. On another note: I really admire the work ethics you have taught your girls. It is rare nowadays to see this.

Thank you Seawaters, I really appreciate that :-D

I finally feel like I have some energy today! But it may soon fizzle out, so I guess I need to take a nap, LOL!

I felt the same way today, I was going stong for awhile, then I hit this brick wall around 3:00. So, I ate a whole Hershey's special dark candy bar and washed it down with a cup of coffee... I'm feeling good now!!! :-D

Good afternoon!!

Forgot to mention that I did run into Michael's yesterday, and they didn't have too much out for Fall. They did have an aisle started with some Fall flowers, candles & vases, and a few knock knack things.

Here are a few pics:

I know some friends have said that their closest Michael's had some pumpkins out, too. It's almost time!!

I do see it now that I have had a chance to see it. cheesy

Sure!!! Come on over, and bring the fur kids!!

I guess it was too monotonous for me. I love clouds & rain every once in awhile, something to break the heat up. Adrian enjoyed it! It was sunny & hot every day! The strip was the only place you'd see people, and locals avoid the strip unless they are going to an event or dinner there. Otherwise, you'd only see people early in the morning, or late at night when it was cool enough. I am an outdoorsy person, and I yearned to be out more. it would reach up to 115 degrees for too many months.

I guess I'm just different, LOL!

So many people move there for that weather.

115*F!? I would be a puddle on the sidewalk in that heat.

The Ashland fall silk & dried flowers were 40% off! They were really pretty, too!
