Ketch-Up Day
We're back and its:
What we've been doing:We celebrated with friends last week where the HH got cake #1.
Then we made a quick trip to Southern Illinois and Indiana.
On the way, we saw snow in the mountains in the Pisgah National Forest. Apologies for the blurry pictures, they were taken from the car.
The next birthday celebration was with my family at Harrah's where he got cake #2. By the by, loved the candle. It opened like a lotus flower. As you can see he's a Cub's fan.
From there we went to Southern Indiana to visit with the HH's sister and brother-in-law. While there, he got cake #3 (decorated in Chicago Bears colors:)
They have a new home that is quite nice. I fell in love with the master bath and wanted to share it with you. I was quite intrigued by the door. It's on gliders and as you can see, replicates a barn door.
Walk-in closet.
Bath.
Powder room.
Shower.
Double sink.
Nice, huh? And yup that's me in the mirror. The pictures came out dark and don't really do it justice.Now back on the road and driving through the mountains..
And finally...
AND...Speaking of birthdays. A belated Happy one to Lee. I have been getting soooo behind on blogger buds birthdays. A thousand apologies. If you've never been to Lee's blog it's always filled with fun and yummy recipes.
So what have YOU been up to while I've been away?

IWSG Wednesday
The first Wednesday of every month is officially IWSG day. Members post about their doubts and fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to others who are struggling.
Thanks, as always, to Alex Cavanaugh, founder and Ninja Captain extraordinaire and our awesome co-hosts.
The IWSG monthly question can be found under the IWSG Sign-up tab on the Insecure Writer's Support Group Blog.
This month’s question—What's the strangest thing you’ve ever googled in researching a story.
Nothing sexy comes to mind for this month’s question. What currently crops up the most for me is the firearms of the era, which my brother researches for me. I was looking for a short rifle barrel and D loop lever for my female bounty hunter. He got so excited about the D loop, he ordered one for his rifle. And yes, even though I write shoot ‘em ups, I’m a gun control advocate. The only one among the sibs

Monday-Tuesday
We made our annual pilgrimage into the mountains to see the fall foliage.
And this jumped through the cracks in my garden walk.
