Hello! How was your week? I hope it was nice, cozy, and productive. Our weather in Maryland is pleasant and very much fall-like, especially in the morning. When the sun comes out, it gets a bit warmer, making for a perfect late autumn afternoon. I have walked every morning this week, except yesterday, when a friend and I went Christmas decoration shopping! I am still enthralled with all things Halloween; however, I am one to be prepared for when the clocks strike twelve on Halloween night, Christmas arrives!
I don't have much to share in terms of food this week. That is not to imply that we didn't eat, of course. For instance, lunch one day ...
We enjoyed a full week of homeschool, with our bonus student doing very well so far this year. And we kept in touch with Peyton, who is happy as can be, baking and sending us pictures of all her yummy meals and treats!
In other news, my Madison and Nicolas are safe and sound in his beloved Denmark, and are having a wonderful, wonderful time enjoying family, friends, and Copenhagen! I am getting beautiful photos too, like a traditional Danish breakfast with grapes grown by Peter, Nicolas' father.
So happy for and proud of these two. Miss them also. And lastly, Steve and our friend Ross walk along the boardwalk and take pictures for all of us. The ocean is unbelievably breathtaking in October. Highly underrated.
Flynn added one of her own from her bedroom window.
Today we have homeschool, and I also heard a rumor about some chocolate chip cookies. Made with brown butter. Sounds perfect for my afternoon coffee. Tomorrow we are going to Mass and then out to dinner with some friends of ours from Pennsylvania. They were just married, so we are so excited to see them and celebrate with them. The remainder of the weekend is up in the air, so I am thinking possibly some Halloween movies, laundry, lesson plans, and a nap, too.
Let's see what Pinterest is thinking about today.
Have a lovely weekend, my friends.
Next week is Halloween Week!!

Cookies. Homeschool. Ocean views. Safely loving Copenhagen. That's pretty amazing! Enjoy your fall weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat post as usual. Beautiful ocean pics. I've been to San Diego twice this year but somehow never made it to the ocean! Flew by it coming and going but didn't get to put my toes in the sand or hear the crashing waves. :( Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such a gorgeous shade of peach as this sky! It is incredible. And I love the one where it is reflected in the water.
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo, your pictures are breathtaking. You are quite the photographer, you have an eye for catching things at their most beautiful. Those beach pictures with the pink sky amazing! It makes me long to go to the beach. We live about 50 miles from the beach here in Georgia. I used to live only 5 miles away when I was in California. You have inspired me, we will definitely need to make a trip out to Tybee Island this fall and enjoy the beach for a day!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics! Wow, the ocean is gorgeous in October!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the Denmark kids are having a great time. :)
Love the beach photos! And yes on the browned butter for chocolate chip cookies - game changer!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pictures from your walk. The weather has been great for walks in my part of MD too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos!! I'm loving our morning walks, too. It's been in the high 50s, low 60s at 7:30, with no humidity. Perfect!! Have a happy weekend, Billie Jo!
ReplyDeleteI always love visiting here, Billie Jo! I always feel like I have just had a chat with an old friend. I am glad your kids are safe and sound. I know how hard it is when they are away. Have a wonderful weekend- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteA lovely post. Our first storm of the season has arrived, so we're staying home and keeping cosy beside the fire today. Xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post my friend. Wishing Nicholas and Madison safe travels, smiles.
ReplyDeleteWonderful reading Billie Jo. How splendid that Madison and Nicolas are having a great time in Denmark. The only thing I know about it is from the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen Harbor. I have known about it since I was a child and was always quite taken with it. Those cookies must have been delicious. Wishing you and your dear family a super weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes! I am the same. Once Halloween is done, out comes the tree and bring on Christmas. LOVE THAT. Cookies at the end of the good day sounds perfect. Movie too!
