Sometimes it pays to do a bit of desk cleaning
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Some days it pays to tidy your desk. I found a $15.00 Starbucks gift card I forgot I had. I went online to check and see the balance and it is all there and available.
Dang, had I’d known this the other day G and I would’ve enjoyed a nice cappuccino.
Now we have this to look forward to next time we go to Target or the mall again. Whoohoo!
G pointed out this pillow to me when we were in a little store in the mall. Yes, it had to come home with me.
You all have a good one and I hope you get a pleasant surprise today too.
Keep Momma away from Halloween stuff sales.

The leaves are getting deep around here.

I am so glad I snapped this picture the other day before the tree lost any more leaves. This is our sweet gum tree.
The magnolia and tulip tree are dropping their leaves like crazy. Yep, it is fall for sure.
Then out front we have a street full of maple trees and they are all rapidly dropping their colorful clothes. Every time I open the front door I have to sweep the porch clear of leaves or they track in.
You all have a good one!

So windy!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I hadn’t planned to take down the background yet. However, with the winds we had, the background almost took itself down. The furring strip I’d stapled it to was standing on end and wedged between roof and porch floor.
Yep, I took it all down. Then I brought all the fabric inside and folded it to put away in one of the large storage containers with the rest of the Halloween things. I even dragged the bins down to the living room.
There you have it, the decorations were going to stay up a few more days because I am basically a lazy person. Now, due to the weather, most of them are ready to pack away. I’m not sure if I should thank the weather gods or not. *Giggle*

Happy Birthday to our Gavin!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
He’s a whole thirteen years old now. Hard to believe that much time has passed since Linda and I picked him up at the airport customs office.
He was eight weeks old and such a cute little guy that everyone in the customs office fell in love with him.
The Curmudgeon didn’t know we were picking him up, he thought Gavin was coming two weeks from then. We fooled him and showed up at his work with Gavin. The dispatcher called him into the office to see someone who stopped in to see him.
I loved the look on his face when he saw me with little Gavin. Priceless!
This is Gavin at 10 weeks.
This is him on his birthday yesterday.
