Don't blink.

 St. George temple.
We had a "Girls Weekend" in St. George.
It was so much fun, and we enjoyed attending the "Time Out For Women" event. {click on the link to see the site "http://www.tofw.com/ }

The temple grounds are always so beautifully manicured, and the gardens are so well tended.  There were old fashioned roses, still in bloom. 
In one of the main garden beds, there was ornamental cabbage growing, and little pansies. 
The garden beds had been planted for Fall.
I'd love to plant this variety of ornamental cabbage next year.
I must remember.

My sweet husband had a very small "honey-do list", while we were out of town.
One of his projects to get done, was to get the car inspected, and renew the license.  He took the car to the auto shop for the inspection, and as the shop employee was backing our car out of the bay, he ran into a parked truck, and he wrecked our car.
Yes.  The auto shop wrecked our car.
It wrecked the bumper, and broke out the tail-light lens,  also scratching the paint on the trunk.

It is all fixed now, and the shop was really good about fixing it quickly, and they were very apologetic.  Still.... not cool.

Lastly, this is such a sweet simple old-fashioned ironing board.
It is in the house that our youngest son is in the process of buying.
He will be a home-owner!
How awesome for him! 
He's young, just 22... and he's not married... but, he wants to invest in his future and have his own home.
The house is just AWESOME!
  Even though it needs a lot of work, he's well experienced at renovating old homes {thanks to his Mom and Dad, always buying old houses } and he's looking forward to getting the house renovated.
Crossing my fingers that all continues to go well, and that the appraisal comes in where he needs it to.... etc... etc... etc...

At this time of year,  there is so much going on.  I'm afraid to blink.

Attitude of gratitude:
~So grateful for safety.  Traveling up and down the freeway so much during this time of year, and I'm always so grateful for the safe travels that our Heavenly Father blesses us with.
~Grateful for warm, healthy food.  I've been using the Dutch oven, and slow cooker a lot on these cold Fall days. I feel so blessed with the simple things that we are blessed with.  Food, shelter... clothing...etc...
