Weekly Wrap Up

September. What can I say? The lingering warmth of summer mixed with the crisp beauty of autumn makes me happy. Here is a peek at the September week that was in our country home.

Grandma made our Saturday evening much more fun by joining us for Mass, hotdogs on the grill, and a Wii Bowling Championship game. : )

Monday was Black and Gold day in our little homeschool...

In celebration of our Steelers playing Monday Night Football!

An extra brownie. Because. Winning. : )

An earlier-than-usual puppy walk lent itself to my witnessing this.
And it was worth it.

And then. This. Celebrating forty-seven was fun.
Thoughtful gifts from faraway friends, lunch and pedicures with a dear one who lives near, a long afternoon nap, then pizza and pumpkin cake surrounded by my people.

What more could one wish for?

Pumpkin cake. Cream Cheese icing.
Mini Chocolate chips.
Life is good.

And I cannot leave this little gal out...

She is by my side.
Always.

A dear, sweet friend from my Instagram days sent this to me!
She remembered my love of all things autumn.
Thanks so much, dear friend! 

And that is that!
Have a wonderfully cozy weekend, my friends!
Thanks for visiting. : )
Always.
