I've been cooking and giving thanks. For the beauty of the day, for the sunshine, for the pine needles softly falling like long threads of snow. Two pumpkin pies, chocolate macaroons, five cup fruit salads, magic lemon squares. Granny, Jed, Southshore Sister, Husband and Aaron and Luke are on their way with the trailer. Waiting for Doug to come home from work and we'll fire up the RV for probably the last time this season (boo hoo) and head to the farm in Coldstream, wherever that is. Tonight, a meal of brown bread and beans with potato salad and dessert. Yum. Then music of all sorts. Taking my piano with me. Good thing Doug is Mr. Strongman.

Would appreciate your prayers for a fun-filled and blessed weekend with family. And I pray for you, too. That you will experience joy and God's goodness this weekend.

Tuesday morning brings my yearly mammogram on the left side. Pray that all is well and that this fall will have no surprises, only good things. Bless you all. Give thanks!
