A French Birthday

Grandbaby will be one soon! A French themed party will be held in her honor. We can't wait to celebrate with her. There will be cupcakes, ice cream and baby's Nonni has bought just a couple of presents!

Brown Trout

We just returned from Montana.  We were close to the town of Two Dot!  It was so fun to catch about ten Brown Trout.  Darling Husband tried to teach me to cast, after almost hooking him twice, he took over that job for me.  My new assignment is "backyard casting".  I can't wait.

We had the utter joy of seeing elk, whitetail deer, mule deer, coyotes, bunnies, wild turkeys, antelope, and mountain goats.  I got to climb to the top of a mountain with Darling Husband to see such a beautiful view.  The sky was amazing and there were deer all over the place.  Oh, and the special extra treat was that Darling Husband bought us First Class airline tickets.  I had never been in First Class before.  Let me tell you that when they come up to you and ask if you would like a drink before you take off, and call you by name, it is a thrill!  I don't know if I will ever be the same.

Grandpumpkin

Baby went to the pumpkin patch.  She wanted to eat everything and wasn't sure why Mama and Nonni keep taking pictures.  I think the rest of the people there sort of felt the same way.  It is always fun to see things through new eyes.  Baby has given us new eyes for everything that is around us.

We finally got a smile!

Yesterday I took a class on decorating your front porch for the Fall.  So..... I spent the afternoon decorating our porch and Darling Daughter's as well.  We are decorated and validated by the rain and lightening this morning.....
