The Good, The Bad, And....
The Good:
We signed up to take part in a senior flu shot study. It was a pleasant surprise to get a card telling us that for everyone that was taking part in the study, a child in a poor country would receive a life-saving vaccine in our honor.
The Bad:
Somehow my keyless car entry came loose and fell off in the garage where it was promptly run over. The cost to replace it...just let me say OUCH. Gone are the days of getting a spare car key made for a buck or two.
Furniture Protection from Pets:
Do you ever have problems with the cats scratching your furniture? My cats are usually pretty good about using their scratching pads, but Frank figured out that scratching the couch was a great way to push my buttons. Was he doing it on purpose? Oh definitely. He'd scratch, look at me and wait for my reaction. I saw this cover on Amazon and was skeptical but decided to try it. Surprisingly, it works. This is our secondary couch. It basically gets used when we have company, at which time we take off the cover. I'm not sure I'd want it on a piece of furniture I used daily. If you are interested, you can find it on Amazon or better yet Smile Amazon where they donate to the charity of your choice.
AND....
A shoutout to my ninety year old aunt who faithfully reads this blog. Have a great day, Norma:)
AND.....Raindrops on roses...and mums.

What's wrong with this picture?
The only way I get my overweight cat to exercise is to throw treats for her to chase.

Fall Gardening and Promised Pictures
My gardening shopping genes went into hibernation for the hot months of summer then fall rolled around and I made my annual pilgrimage to the Growers' Outlet in Pineville and those shopping genes, which used to be much more focused on shoes, have kicked back in and I'm binging on mums. For me they make fall worthwhile.
My shopping cart (buggy). Do you recognize what's in it?
Another picture of my white mum that I planted last year. Looks like two there, but only one. Someone with four paws, who shall remain nameless but not blameless, walked through it. A little bit of gardening trivia: Mums supposedly have a better chance of survival if planted in the spring instead of the fall. I ask you, can you even buy mums in the spring?
AND....
The baby hydrangea is trying to bloom. Do you think he'll make it before it frosts?

Pictures, as promised, of the lovely and talented Diane Wolfe.

Purr-fectly Delightful Gifts
I take in goodie bags for the kids whenever I see them. This time they had one waiting for me. Yum.
The HH surprised me with a Halloween dishtowel. Purr-fect right?
Looky! Looky! I've been on the prowl for a Mrs. Claus's Workshop sign for two years to hang over the door of the spare bedroom where I keep my Christmas secrets and do my wrapping every December. I mentioned it to the delightful and talented CJ and look what I got! I'm very calm and sedate on the outside but doing the Happy Dance on the inside. Thank you, CJ!AND...
Nothing that CJ sends would be complete without a picture of INK on the envelope.
