Morton Pumpkin Festival

If you know me you know how much I LOVE pumpkin things...food, smells, decorations,etc. So my dear friend Laura surprised me for a visit and together we went to an all you can eat pumpkin pancake breakfast.

It had poured for days, so the ground was extremely muddy and we both were wearing ballet flats!

And yes....I may or may not have brought along my own spray butter and chocolate chips so that I could make pumpkin CCP's. I don't think Laura was too embarrassed! :)

September Brings New Beginnings

Well, I'm new to this whole blogging thing, but I think it will great for me. I've been told that I very good with written words and hopefully by blogging I will be able to clarify my thoughts that never seem to come out well in words. Today was one of those beautiful September days where the weather was a perfect 75 degrees and everything seemed to be perfect. September is one of if not my favorite month of the year. Mainly because some of my favorite things start in September....football and food made with pumpkin starts appearing. Change starts appearing in September. The trees begin to let us know that change is coming, children return to school, and summer vacations come to an end. Sometimes the hard thing with change is saying good bye to what was and accepting what is and will be. Why does it always seem that when you want change it doesn't happen....yet it seems to come when you don't want it. It seems like this has been the theme of my life. All I want in my life right now is change. I want to feel like my life is going somewhere. Maybe this is the month.....maybe my life will change. Lord, you seem to do big things in my life in the month of September....will you do something big again Lord? Challenge my faith....for I am ready to go where you will send me.
