The leaves are falling fast. Today is another warm and beautiful day. Rain is expected Thursday so I know the remaining leaves will soon be gone.

Oh, My Goodness
The month I love is almost over. October days are the best. Cool and crisp. I had a wonderful change of scene recently and got to appreciate the beauty of a different location.
Here at home I enjoy October decor here and there.
On Sunday Tallulah liked the jack-o'-lantern in the kitchen.
Monday was another beautiful October day. I didn't mind standing in line for my turn to vote.
Today was another perfect fall day for being outside and sitting in the backyard swing. Leaves would flutter down every now and then. The playful squirrels didn't make an appearance this afternoon. Such a quiet and peaceful time to be treasured.

Staying In Touch
Hello to anyone who still looks in on Bits and Pieces. I don't seem to manage my time very well or I would have several posts written for October.
Reading lets me visit other people and share their problems and joys. Boy, in some cases I can really relate!
Getting together with three college friends in Jackson, Tennessee, was a special occasion in early October. We would love to meet again next year.

Autumn Vibes
We are a couple of days away from autumn, but I've been decorating ahead of time. Just couldn't wait until the official date.

It's Fun To Be One
It's been a fast and exciting year watching Etta grow. Her first birthday party on Saturday was a special and happy event. Family and friends celebrated with her enjoying food, opening of gifts, cake, and conversation.

Soooo Special
That's my daughter Lauren Ashley Gann. She has shown tremendous strength this past year after the loss of her husband Justin. She lovingly cares for Tallulah Grace and Etta Ryan while missing Justin at the same time.
I always dreamed of having a daughter, and that dream came true on 9/9/81. Now Lauren is experiencing the wonder and joy of being a mother.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAUREN!
LOVE YOU ALWAYS

A Special Birthday
We celebrated Corkey's 80th birthday for several days, starting on August 28th and ending on September 2nd. His actual birthday was September 1st.
Granddaughter Kiera alerted me to their secret plan on August 8th. It was hard to keep that secret for days. What a surprise party we had! Les, Pennee, Kiera, Chloe, Lauren, Tallulah, Etta, Brenda, Bruce, Chance, Jeff, Jasmine, Jack, and Jason all converged at once for the early birthday surprise gathering. We enjoyed foods, cake, laughs, and "Happy Birthday" singing to Kiera's playing of the song. I was able to capture the music and fun moments in a short video.
I wish I had taken more pictures on Labor Day, but watching Tallulah and Etta proved interesting and a tiny bit nerve-racking. Tallulah walked around all the tables and climbed up on the stage, happy and confident with no fear at all. Etta was passed around from arms to arms, smiling at everyone.
