Abigail's Blankets, Throws and Comforters

The howling winds of Fall will soon usher in the need for blankets, throws and thick fluffy comforters.  Blankets, throws and comforters have become a wardrobe accessory for the bedroom. Three years ago I joined the movement by purchasing a fall themed bedroom set.  A snowman throw joined a reindeer blanket complete with a fluffy down comforter which during the Christmas season is transformed with a cover into a Christmas comforter.
I can’t wait until the winds of Fall start howling and I can once again pull out my bedroom wardrobe for my bed.

Nature's Palette

A season to behold
Nature’s palette on display.
A riot of color ablaze
frolic in the fall leaves.
September to remember as the leaves tumble down
Autumn days are here again
The wind moves in wonderful ways through the tree branches as they blow and sway.
Time to finally put the lawnmower away, turn in your sandals for thick socks and boots.
Crisp leaves are falling, bird are calling
for goodness sake, grab a rake!

The Fall Book Of Colors

 A mosaic of color

Another blanket on the bed
Cozy autumn days, crisp fall nights
Golden leaves flutter gently to the ground
A festival of fall colors abound
Geese migrating south
Wind howling through the trees
Rake, pile, leap!
Fall into autumn
Leaf your worries behind
Take in the beauty of the season
Cool, crisp days of fall
Bare branches quivering in the wind
Foraging squirrels and chipmunks hiding their nuts
Shorter days and longer nights
Watch the changing leaves and enjoy the crisp breeze

Abigail’s Winter Coat Dilemma

 I need a new winter coat. I take that back, I want a winter coat! And for the first time in many years I am considering buying one. Most winters I wear a very thick long or short sweater purchased at Wal-Mart. This year I want a fabulous coat to strut my stuff all winter.
Choosing a winter coat is a tough job. Long short, red, green, purple or blue? It’s a tough job but someone has to do it. The only thing I know is that I want a coat and I looking all over for one. Abby

Abigail's Needs Cast Iron Skillets

I need a great Cast Iron skillet to make cornbread and I think I found one. The Pioneer Woman just came out with a line of cast iron skillets that have left me drooling.
The Pioneer Woman’s Cast Iron Skillets that are cute and look like fun to cook in. The price is also very attractive. I can’t wait until the holiday season I am putting the Pioneer Woman’s Cast Iron Skillets on my list.

Abigail’s Winter Vacation

The doldrums of winter always hit around the first of the just after the holidays end. This year I plan to surrey away to St. Maartan for fun in the sun.
For the past month I have tried to find the perfect swim suit and cover.  Over the years I have grown fond of the swim dress. To say it hides a multitude of faults is to say a mouth full.
I look forward to lots of beach time and water activities.
One of the things I am truly looking forward to is spending the day sailing. I have booked a trip to spend the day on the Passaat Schooner sailing and enjoying the beauty of being at sea. Shopping in St. Bart’s is going to be a treat along with a ferry ride to Anguilla.
It’ll be nice to get a little sun after a couple of months of winter. Now I’ve got to get back to finding a swimsuit and locating my passport.

Abigail Loves Sling TV

Sling TV? I can live with it. I subscribed for a 7-day free trial membership to Sling TV since it was free. I was no expecting to go pass the 7-day trial but low and behold I was quite surprised that instead of cancelling the membership I kept it.
While I have satellite service through Dish Network, I don’t feel that adding additional cost to my bill for on demand TV. Sling TV gives me the advantage of porting my favorite channels with me on my tablet wherever I go and I love it.
Very soon I want to try a 30day Showtime trial, but I am a little apprehensive since they immediately charge you without giving you the chance to actually enjoy 30 free days as advertised before they charge you. Sling allowed me 7days to make a decision.
Anyhoo, what’s a girl to do but flip on her Sling when she’s at the hair salon or doctor’s office?
AbbyNo one paid for this but me and my own $20.00 a month

Abigail Loves Teen Wolf

I stopped watching Teen Wolf after the first episode of the second season. While I fell in love with the first season the first episode of the second season seemed to be going down a different path so I opted out and never went back. I was stuck in the house last Friday and found myself looking for something to watching. The first thing I found on Amazon that caught my eye was the entire Teen Wolf series up to season 5. As I watched the series from beginning to end I found myself falling in love again with the series. Teen Wolf rocks! While I was sadden by the death of Allison I still love Scott and Dereck. Abby   

Abigails Obsession: Lunchboxes

I have a unique obsession with lunchboxes. When I was a kid I always wanted to be one of those kids who brought their lunch. My mom preferred I ate the lunch the school provided. So, I never got that Wonder Woman lunchbox I died for as a kid. Instead as an adult I spend needs many a delightful evenings trying finding the perfect lunchbox only to discard it in search of another “perfect” lunchbox. Yep, it’s just that serious.

Abigail's Chicken Pot Pie

My love of chicken pot pie is world renowned. Give a girl a fluffy crust over delicious vegetables and you have a friend for life.
Winter will soon howl in and my appetite for pot pie will kick off into high gear like football season. Soon yummy delicious swirls of chicken pot pie will dance upon my palette as a horn of plenty descends filled with chicken pot pie.
