Ten Things I'm Loving This Fall...

Have I said that I love this time of the year..
Well I do...
I thought I would share with you some things I'm loving right now...



1. The Weather...
We have had beautiful Fall weather. It has been warm... warm... warm...
Yesterday was our first cool day, and it rained, no snow.
I'm sure it will end soon, but for now its great.


2. The leaves...they are so beautiful this year...



3. Pumpkin Spice Coffee....love it...love it....love it....
I look forward to it all year long.....so yummy...



4. Estate Sales...
My new obsession. I could get hooked. Here I am trying to get rid of stuff, and I find myself
looking for new stuff for our Etsy store....go check it out... stapestreasetrove.etsy.com which brings me to my number


5. I love old books and I have collected some real treasures for my Amazon account.



6. My Grandchildren...
I know this one is nothing new...I love my grand kids all the time, but what is new is that all 8 of them are in the USA right now.
They are able to call me whenever they want.... and I love it....
We are going to Chicago next week to see my Vanuatu kids...
I can't wait...they can't either...love it...

7.I love having Art around more....Don't tell him though :)
Loving Him....


8. I picked up this book in Leadville , Colorado
"Outlasting the trail...."
by Mary Barmeyer O'Brien
I've always wondered what it must have been like to travel across this country in a covered wagon. This book is about Mary Rockwood Powers. She traveled from Wisconsin to California with her husband and children. This book is fiction, but taken from her journals and letters. So interesting and moving to read what they endured.

9. My Bible Study..."Faithful, Abundant, True...Deeper Still.

10. My nieces, Des and Heather. Both girls are going through hard times, but it is a joy to watch them. I'm proud of them and I love them both.

I think it's really sweet that you love your two nieces so much.

No need to be snarky....I never said that I didn't have other nieces,or that I don't love them, just these two are going through hard times, and I'm proud of how well they are doing with it. Maybe if I knew what was going on in your life I would do a blog spot just on my beloved niece in college. A.K.
