Wait....how about last fall!!

In September we gathered as family at the Livingston's Mountain house in Brevard!  Everyone was able to make it except Bobby and Susan (I am not sure what it is going to take to get them to actually make it to a family reunion).  The weather was perfect, chilly enough for smores around a campfire, amazing sunset and lot of good family time.  I am so grateful for all of these wonderful people in my life!!

In October we traveled to Statesville and joined Kathy and Dale Spencer and family for Carolina BalloonFest.  The balloons were fabulous even though the weather was anything but cooperative but we enjoyed the Spencers.  ( I tripped on a pothole and twisted my ankle and John gashed his forehead as he released the sway bars but other than that we had a good time! LOL)  It was so good to see  Bobby and Susan as we joined them for brunch and got to see all 42 of their chickens, Then we traveled on to stay at Bear Den Campground and enjoyed a wonderful day at Grandfather Mountain!  Amazingly enough I had NEVER been there but it was just beautiful and I got to see a glimpse of Charlotte from the bridge!!

The final big event for the fall was painting the Florida house. It had to be done, the paint colors had been approved and our time was up.  After all was said and done it wasn't such a horrible job, there were no big fights and I love the finished project. This ought to last us for the next 7 years!!!!!
