Yesterday we had a visit from 3 of the grand kids - Allison, Daniel and Brian! We don't often see the boys these days as they live in Gainesville now. It was very good having all 3 of the siblings together! Tina was working and couldn't be here with us.

Charles cooked steaks on the grill and we all enjoyed a good meal together!

Here are a few pics .































We enjoyed our day!

In pursuit of...





...Junie - in pursuit of ' The Great Pumpkin' today! :)



Well, not really but I did have pumpkins and Halloween stuff on my mind and I saw a lot of neat stuff when I went shopping; pumpkins, witches, spiders, bats, black cats,RATS, skeletons every kind of creepy Halloween character you can imagine!

I LOVE this stuff, you know!! I miss it all- dang it- since my kids and grands grew up!!

Here are some things I bought today! Yep- I did buy one of those pumpkins with a light inside! ( I have some more of these but they are not out yet) But I'm sure he's not The Great Pumpkin...He's rather small but he does have a nice smile!

I bought 4 potted Mums and 2 pumpkin scented candles...
and...
a cd of Alice Cooper~ ( Alice Cooper's Super Hits)




LOL! Now, what could be more scary than that for Halloween?










Oh! And speaking of 'The Great Pumpkin'~ look at this big guy! We saw this one in NC last fall!


Love,

Junie Rose

Update of our day-


Family and friends,

We spent several hours with Tina this afternoon and I am happy to be able to report that she is much improved and will probably be able to come home tomorrow. And if so, she and Alli will most likely stay here with us for a couple of days. .. to the weekend, anyway. I'm sooo relieved that she has done this well!

~~~

We stayed until Alli and her girlfriend came up, after school...and they were to stay for awhile.( tho, not too late on this school night) This friend is with Alli while Tina is in the hospital-and Alli drives herself and her friend to school!

When we left-
Charles and I decided to get dinner out-as it was already late. We decided to eat at 'Cracker Barrel.' I like going there- not just for the good country style food but also for the neat things they have in the shop! I like to look and shop, especially during the holiday seasons...fall thru Christmas! I bought a few things to add to my Halloween guys!

See below:

(A couple of them are for my 2 girls)
I like the vintage-paper-mache' look pumpkin head boy and girl!

They're all cute-cute-cute! ;) AND they were on sale for cheap!


~~~






















It was just before sunset as we made our way back home. I had Charles pull over a few times so as to try and capture the beautiful evening sky...before-during and after the sunset! Our road home takes us south and to my right was this glorious light show that claimed my full attention! And at my request we got off the express-way and turned west in search of a better view.

I love every moment of it...the brilliance as the sun falls beyond the horizon- the way the dark clouds have the red and gold and silver outlines...the way the sun-as we travel over the twists and turns of the road- keeps playing a peek-a-boo game until finally the big gold ball falls beyond our view! I love the way the whole sky is then turned every pastel shade of pink and blue and purple and gold and silver... Not just the western sky, where the sun finally sets- but the whole sky has these soft, pastel, colors!

This feels like a magical time to me and I can't think of anything that brings me more pleasure than the sunset hour!

Not to be out done...

LOOK at this full moon that came up just as the spectacular show to the west was ending!

Perfect ending to this day!












Love,

Junie

Another of those days...those crazy ones!

This has been one of those tiresome, silly, unproductive, crazy days! (which are becoming my normal days - or so it seems!)


OK...

I wanted to go shop for a few things for our upcoming anniversary trip!

~~~Did I mention we are going to Savannah? We will be gone from early Friday thru ...perhaps, late Sunday. Savannah is only a few hours drive from where we live.~~~

Anyway-some new duds needed for this trip! I went to Beall's-and this is a few things I bought! (Just casual and cool summer things!)





Next on my list of things to do...
as you all know I am needing a hair cut! Right-I'm sure you all agree! OK-I just wanted a trim to shoulder length- just my usual Junie haircut that I have had forever! Nothing fancy-just ME!

I thought since I had to do a bit of shopping at Wal-Mart I would give that shop a try again! Bad mistake!!

I waited for over an hour...and still the silly little women in there ( 3 of them) couldn't find time to shampoo and cut my hair! WOW!! And you'd think they were having an overflow of customers...In truth they had two that I saw...during the time I was lurking around-coming and going back and forth...waiting for my chance to have my glorious shampoo and haircut!!

Stupid me-I came back a third time...still expecting to get my turn! :) ...Was told for the third time it would
still be awhile! I said, "Well, can I make an appointment for tomorrow?" The inept little hairdressers said,"We don't make appointments!" lol! I said ,"I can't wait any longer!"

SO- my hair is still LOOONG-and it may just stay that way! Or I may venture out again tomorrow to another place! We'll see!

Lol- It was just about a year ago that I got THIS hair cut! Weird style-not at all like me! Check it out!

~~~


Ok ... The day did have some good moments-despite the hair ordeal! On the way over and back I played this CD!
This is such relaxing and fine guitar music! I just Love it!

Here is a Video of LJ doing 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps.'




~Laurence Juber Plays The Beatles~









....SOOO- by the time I got home the music had soothed me into feeling better...even with my hair still flowing down my back! And these flowers added their special magic too!


Love,

Junie Rose
