{Virtual Coffee}

Good morning friends.

Ready for some coffee chit-chat?

This morning I am having my homemade Hillbilly Latte and I keep forgetting that I
was going to show you just how I make this little masterpiece of mine.

I'll try to remember next week...hmmm....don't hold your breath though.

I wish we really were sitting together this morning outside in my back yard drinking coffee.

I would share left-over blueberry muffins I made for our Sunday brunch with you along with

 the rest of the left-over candy--Twix, Reese's Peanut Butter cups,
Tootsie Rolls and Peanut Butter M & M's.

You would need a little sweater or a jacket though, it's a little chillier than
 last week but oh so wonderful still. 

Oh, I love when this weather hits and I can finally bust out my scarves again, 

I confess, I do have a bit of a ridiculous collection but I really do wear most of them so
it's totally justified. Right?

If we were really meeting for coffee this morning....

I would ask you if you had been to the Pumpkin Patch yet this year?

We haven't but I am thinking of taking the kids on Friday because there is no school due to

 Parent-Teacher Conferences. Like me, do you go to the Pumpkin Patch and spend way 

too much money? It's really easy to do. Making thermoses of hot cocoa and coffee and

taking a little Road Trip to the Pumpkin Patch sounds like a great way to spend the day off of
school to me though.

What is on your Fall To-Do List anyway?

Anything you just can't wait for?

I just realized Halloween is coming up pretty quick... I need to get on costumes, huh?

I think Wyatt is going to be an Exo-Swat something or other (aka: Army Guy) and he already

 has the costume, we got it for him for his birthday because he loves dressing up.

Charlotte wants to be an Indian Princess so I need to get busy with that though.

We did find a little homemade Indian vest at a thrift store last month for 25 cents. 

Mmmm hmmm... I snatched that up so fast, I do love an awesome deal like that.

If we were really meeting for coffee this morning, I would have tot ell you about
 the book I just finished.

It is the second one (in a row) I have read by Kate Morton.

Oh, it was good, so good. A while back when I asked for suggestions I think someone

 suggested The Distant Hours and it , too, was so good.

I could not put these books down and now I have just started on another by her, 

The House at Riverton. Don't you just love when you find a book that good?

Oh-if you read my Birthday Brunch post yesterday..I was going to answer  a question somebody asked.
No, I did not make the cinnamon rolls.
Those are Pillsbury rolls in a can.
I planned to make homemade rolls but the night before decided I was not going to add that
stress on myself so I decided Pillsbury could do the work for me.
I have never made homemade cinnamon rolls before and plan to soon but decided that
was not the best time to do it. Glad I came to that conclusion.
Can you say Cukooo Mom? That would have been me for sure.

Let's get a refill so you can tell me what is going on with you...
venting...celebrating, whining...whatever it is, I am listening.
Have a great day, thanks so much for stopping by.
