Family trip to the Capitol Theater in Rome, NY

Fall Days

This fall season is shaping up rather nicely, I must admit.  I have settled into my new position at work.  I am so peaceful at it, that I am finding the creativity to write music, crochet a poncho for Alex (pictured above), I will be finishing Sammie's Zebra blanket tonight and reading.

We went to a book sale at the Potsdam Library last weekend and I came home with several books to try.  I thought if I liked any of the authors enough, I would get the whole series on my kindle.  After reading from a book again, I realized how very much I prefer my kindle.  I NEVER thought I would say that, but my arm doesn't get tired when I am laying down, it continues to read to me when I'm in a great spot and have to start dinner, and I never have to wonder where I left off when my bookmark has fallen out...the kindle just starts in the right spot.  Now that I all my devices sync up...I'm in heaven.  :)

The temperature has turned cooler very quickly.  We should be in the 40-50's all this week.  I countered this by baking pumpkin bread and muffins this week.  We are all getting ready for Halloween around the corner and Thanksgiving soon to follow.

Fall Hobby and memories to be made...

It has been in the 60's this week and for me that means crocheting.  When it requires a large work laying across your lap, this hobby really does require cooler weather.  So every spring I put my yarn and crochet hooks away and every fall I take them back out.  Recently Sammie asked me for a zebra print blanket to match her room.  I told her I had never seen such a yarn... little did I know... she had.  :D So for the past two weekends I have been crocheting again.  Such fun.

The leaves are all orange and evenings cool.  With Halloween right around the corner we will be taking an annual family trip for the last time with Sammie living with us to Rome's theater to see the original Dracula and Frankenstein on the big screen.  :D That should be a blast.

Followed by Thanksgiving when we get to break in our new dining area and buffet kitchen counter.  
Good times and memories to be made.
