First of all – today would have been Bud’s birthday. I think of him often, and how much I learned from him, and how he was such a great man in the community and our business. I’m glad to have known and worked with him.
Bud would say – ‘Two months until Christmas Day!’
So, catching up – just a short review. Autmn and Cameron got here late Wednesday evening. We let Cameron play for a small bit, then he got a bath and went to bed. I was surprised that he went willingly and didn’t fuss. By then Autmn and I were both ready for bed too! I worked a little on Thursday morning. Autmn had plans so they were out for a while. Chrissy came over and spent the afternoon and the girls got ready here for their concert. They went to see Sabrina Carpenter and were very excited.
Cameron was so happy he just had to clap!
He loves to color.
He wrapped himself like a cocoon in the blanket and just plopped on the pillow.
They came back here and spent the night together. But before they went to bed, they told me about the concert and then made fried potatoes! At 1am! I guess concerts make you hungry. They sent me photos.
My girls… they had Sabrina Carpenter hoodies!
Autmn and Chrissy – happy!

Good morning Duckies!
So Cameron and I had a fun afternoon and evening, and for the most part he was very good and fun. I gave him a bath, minus the hair wash. We played with his barn, and the littlest petshop (that was Chrissy’s) and read books. We went upstairs about 10pm for bed, and sat on the chair for about 20 minutes and sang songs. His favorite was ‘Up on the Housetop.’ He clapped when I was done singing! He just cuddled up with me and looked around the room. I asked him if he liked my house, and he said, ‘Oh, Yes!’ It was very fun.

Bath time….
I left at 9am Friday morning to meet Kelly in Washington to do some shopping. Autmn and Cameron were up but Chrissy was still asleep. It was mostly an ‘idea’ excursion. I did come up with a few good ones for gifts. Kelly and I laughed a lot. It was so crowded – people and cars and traffic everywhere. You’d think they were giving things away. Oh, wait. Walmart was having a grand ‘re-opening’ so they were! We had lunch at Chick Fil-A, then before we split to go home, we went back to Chick Fil-A and got warm chocolate chunk cookies for dessert. It was a good day even though we found almost nothing we were looking for. We said no one was catering to our needs! We have another shopping date already on the calendar – and this one will be on my turf.
Yum!
This morning I made a list (almost 2 cards long!) of things I hoped to get done (or at least start on). Autmn called and said she and Cameron had just left a kids’ Halloween party local here, and was having dinner at her dad’s later. Could she put Cameron down for a nap here. I guess I’m the only one who has a Pack n Play. So they got here about noon. Cameron played with his barn and watched Bluey – I made them lunch, then they both took a nap. I did get the ironing done while they were sleeping, but didn’t try to do anything else. Cameron and I played for a while before they left – he does love his barn! He decorated his very first pumpkin at the party this morning and was very excited and proud of it. They left and went to Nate’s about 5:30pm.
Fish, French fries and apple sauce — and Bluey socks!
Pumpkin!
Good job, Cameron!
Once they left, I took all the toys and games out of the closet and rearranged everything. I put the ‘big kid’ puzzles and games on a high shelf (little pieces!) and moved some of the items that he can’t have. The ones he can play with are easier to access. And a bonus: I found all three items that had gotten lost in the past two weeks. They were well hidden!
Much better.
So that’s it for now. Tomorrow IS another day, and hopefully I can pick up the list again and cautiously start checking things off! Have a lovely Sunday!
SCRIPTURE of the DAY:
PEANUTS?
TOMORROW October 26th is:
National Fried Chicken Steak Day; National Financial Crime Fighter Day; National Mother-in-Law Day; National Mule Day; National Mincemeat Day; National Pumpkin Day; National Day of the Deployed; Accession Day; Visit a Cemetery Day; Worldwide Howl at the Moon Day.
I haven’t howled at the moon in…. forever. I don’t have a mother in law but I am one. No mules, either. Pumpkin day makes sense. I will wave to ‘mom and dad’ when the pass the cemetery tomorrow on the way to church. Have a lovely Sunday. God bless…
