Finally I am back............

Was away longer than I intended but, have enjoyed the break.  It has been a busy couple of months, and It's hard to believe it's been probably 10 or 11 weeks?

I have done a lot of reading, which I will post about soon.  Read some really good books; one of the latest being Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, what a book that was!!  I have three more sitting here waiting to be started on:

I think it will be the one by Paul Feist.  Mind you if I read the Lyra Parish one, maybe to cooler weather will appear.  I am over Summer now!!

Then I have started doing another cross stitch:

As you can see, I have just done a few stitches in red.  I found my owl scissor holder, it's so cute and my Bothy Threads, needle minder.  I will talk more about this project soon.  I have had this kit for ages so decided to get it done.

We had my mother over for a visit so those three weeks just flew by.  We haven't been away yet, but have booked a few days away in September, so looking forward to that.  

Well, that's it for the moment.  Will get back into regular posting this coming week, and will spend the weekend, getting some posts written, ready for posting.........

Hope everyone is well, and look forward to catching up with you all.😊

Way too long.........

It's been way too long since I last posted.  I mean honestly, you'd think I have a busy life or something...LOL

It just seems like yesterday it was the beginning of summer.  We woke up to this on October 30th:

Way too soon for snow.  Mind you, it had more or less all melted by the late afternoon.  Summer went by in a flash.  Was busy with the gardening, visitors and we went away to Tennessee at the beginning of November.  I know I said we were booked to go to Charleston, but we changed our minds and ended up at Pigeon Forge.  Had a super time but it was way too hot for me.

My mother has joined a book club in the UK; so I have decided to unofficially join it as well!  The first book we are reading is this one:

"Room," by Emma Donoghue.  If you click on the prior sentence it will take you to Amazon, and you can read a preview there.  I am going to start on it this week.  I have just posted a book review on the latest book I have read, "The Trail," here, that was a good book.

My health could be better, I'll explain in another post.  The grandkids are all growing like weeds.  I have to share a photo of N & P all dressed up for Halloween.

Chucky and a Zombie Bride I think they were?  Dd did a super job on the makeup.

Anyhow, that's it for the moment.  I will prepare some more posts and lets see how long I manage to keep posting this time round!!
