we have been blessed with gorgeous weather, the past two days... after days of rain & snow in October, the last day was gorgeous!

Since I last posted, a new shootout was unveiled "Spooky & Fun" is the theme...

It is my favorite Halloween decoration - instead of snow bats fly around when it's shaken!

Then we got lost in the country for a day....

We started the day shopping in the small town of Weeping Water, went to a pumpkin patch somewhere around there and ended at the winery.... what a LOVELY day!

wish I felt a bit better... stuffy nose congestion...then it lets loose... arggggg. I hate this!

I haven't done much these past few weeks, with my camera. Hope to remedy that this evening while Moo has her karate class.

A few weeks ago, I took some portraits for a gal at work... love this family portrait.

We got our hair cut... me just a trim... Moo, a whole new do!

We cut a lot off. She is now sporting a classic a-line bob. Shorter in the back, longer in the front... and it is really cute! I started to get a bit nervous as the hair started to fall to the floor, but it was well worth it!

a dear friend of mine lost her husband yesterday morning.

He was only 46... and died from pulmonary edema - basically he drowned in his own fluids.

He was very sick for a few weeks and didn't think it was bad enough to warrant a doctors visit. He ended up collapsing because he couldn't get enough oxygen...

please let this little blurb serve as a warning.... if you are sick for more than a few days and it doesn't seem to be getting better, please see you doctor!

I have a friend in need of prayers... if you have a second, hug those that you love close. You never know what God has planned for their next moment.

*queue suspense music*

some good things are happening, and I am majorly excited... I can start spilling the beans... soon!
