Hello Fall, Hello Weekend!

Hello Fall!!!

Attention - Mother Nature:

Guess what --
Fall means cooler temps, sweater weather, falling leaves and pumpkins!
 So MN (Mother Nature), what is the deal with the high temps and high

humidity????  

Stop it right this instant!

Sooooo, even though we're not enjoying cooler temps and sweater weather,
we are still loving all the pumpkins showing up at
our local pumpkin patch

and garden stores!

Love the gnarly gourds!

Sadly, we don't usually buy many for decorative purposes on
our front porch because the ravenous squirrels take
that as an invitation to a feast and make an
incredible ugly mess!
Bad squirrels!!!

Any weekend plans???
Friday night lights tonight and little Granddaughter Janie
will be "performing" with the cheerleaders!
We can't wait for that as she has spirit overload!

Happy Weekend Friends!

A Little Bit of Cheer

Hello all -- I didn't fall off the face of the earth,

I'm just in a slow blogging mode.

But, I wanted to share a little cheer with you all.

Last Friday night, my granddaughter, Janie Boo (kindergarten)

got to cheer at a high school football game!

She was so excited!  

Janie cheered the entire 1st Quarter and

while some of the kindergartners stood around

wondering when to cheer, not Janie.  

She cheered the entire time and even harder when a touchdown occurred.

Sadly, most of the touchdowns were made by the opposing team!  

Maddy participated in a Thunderette dance routine

at halftime that was pretty cool and was over very fast!

Dancers really have to move and get off the field in a hurry.

Even though Janie kind of wanted a ring-pop, popcorn, cotton candy or Gatorade --

 I suggested she wait ( I hate sticky messes), 

so promised 

 ice cream after the game.  

I also may have reminded Janie that 

ring-pops cause cavities and are sticky, messy and icky.

Janie agreed and then informed a 

couple of 9 or 10 year old girls

 who did have ring-pops that those things were really bad for them 

and maybe they should throw them away.

The girls looked a little puzzled by such a wise-beyond-her-years

5 year old and smiled at her!

The real cheerleaders

And yes, we did stop and get ice cream and french fries

after the game -- gotta have a few treats, right!

Friday Night Lights 2015  -- we are there!
