Can It Be

It's November, and the holidays are fast approaching. I want to feel ready, but I'm not.



I turned this pillow around so I could see this word message every day during the month of November.


 I took part in the Quito November Market and had just three sales, but I was thankful for those. I certainly don't do it for the money. I happen to love when my pieces get new homes with happy buyers.


Son Ryan had a recent birthday, and I can hardly believe he is forty=six. How can it be? Life is shorter than I ever realized when I was much younger. Therefore, the word Thankful stays on my mind and helps me appreciate every day I have with family and friends.

Autumn at My Place

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!


This copper tea pot was a recent purchase from my favorite Covington shop. 


Most of the time I'm here at home just puttering around with this or that.


Getting together with three college friends in Jackson, Tennessee, was a special occasion in early October. We would love to meet again next year.



Corkey and I have made it to several Munford High School football games. It's good to be in the cheering crowd, watching the teams as well as the halftime band performance. 



Hope to see you again in October.

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. 


Tallulah was a helpful big sister on Etta's big day.



Etta is now an active walker and busy explorer.
Her smile lights up a room.
She is our sunshine.

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.



The framed portrait is one of Lauren.

Her little girls were napping at our house, and that's how this picture came to be.

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
