Monday Morning Coffee

Good Morning! How was your weekend? October weekends are glorious, aren't they? Here in Pennsylvania, the sun shone, the leaves glistened, and the air had that distinct feeling of fall. Saturday was a beautiful day, and I was so glad, because my niece got married and she had the most perfect autumn day for her wedding. Here we are, minus Flynn, who opted to stay home for this one, as her time here is limited. She kept an eye on the pups, and that was much appreciated. The wedding was lovely, and I was able to visit with quite a few people I don't get to see as often. The food was delicious, and I was happy to be with my people. 

Sunday was another beautiful day, and the sparkly makeup and fancy dress were but a memory as we got up early and went to mass with Peyton and Chris. Here are the only two coffee drinkers in the group, drinking small-town restaurant coffee—some of the best.

Sunday afternoon, the guys went to the Steeler game together, as documented here when hope of victory remained.

And although there is no photographic evidence, Madison, Peyton, Kyrstin, Flynn, and  I had a fun night of dinner and a movie together. We decided on Red Lobster carryout, which is always a good idea. I had salmon, a baked potato, and asparagus. And it was good! Then we watched an old favorite movie...

If you haven't seen it, or it's been a while, I encourage you to make a cup of hot cocoa with whipped cream and orange and black sprinkles, or maybe even whip up some pumpkin bars, and settle in for a bit of Halloween fun this week.

Today, we are meeting a good friend of our family, Bobby K, for a movie, and then he and some of our other dear friends are coming for dinner. Steve is making meatloaf, and I am making heating up potatoes and corn. I am always thankful to spend time with special friends when we have the chance.

Tomorrow, we load up the van and head back to Maryland! This week, Mocha and Cosmo have vet appointments for checkups, and we also have an appointment for window coverings, as well as one for the home security system installed in the house. We figured we might need to figure out what all the buttons and sirens mean before they start beeping without us knowing how to stop them. Then Friday, of course, is Halloween! 

Have a lovely Monday, my friends. Thank you for visiting. I am always glad that you do!

But, if this is you, that is ok too.

I am right there with you!
