Garage sales, Guitars and Goodies...

Okay so I only played one guitar but at least I played it! :)  It has been months and my fingers can tell (as they are still a little sore and numb at the tips).

This morning we checked out some garage sales, but didn't come away with much.  I got a 4 CD package of George Strait songs and a potato masher (yes, one of those old hand held ones).

Then we got the grocery shopping out of the way and I did some baking.  I made my yummy SouthernBelle Gourmet pumpkin loaf (but in muffin form), and brownies with peanut butter for hubby since he hasn't had any in a while.  I'll take some of the muffins to my folks. Mom loves them!

Then this afternoon, watched one of our DVDs that we got from Blockbuster's going out of business sale and then I playing my guitar for a little bit.  I am really rusty with it, so I need to make it a point to practice more often!  After all, how am I going to be a female Willie Nelson success if I don't play more often!  At least I do get singing in every day!  Just one of the many joys of working from home!

                                                              

Stopping by...

to blog for a few minutes. My youngest is here this weekend, again! "I KNOW!!!" (said like Craig Ferguson). This makes 3 times this semester already. This time was not really planned though. Her boyfriend and his roomie were coming home for the weekend anyway so she came too. I know I said I wasn't going to write when she was around but she is out right now so this doesn't count. :)

Got a chance to do some singing today while working. Whenever I'm feeling sort of blah, that is always such a pick-me-up. I LOVE to sing! We all have something we love to do or at least like a lot that is the one thing that can always make up feel happy, carefree and content. I need to do it more often when I feel like I really don't want to bother singing, because I'm never sorry I did afterwards.

It is finally starting to cool around here. After a sweltering summer it is a welcomed change, even for me who tends to love whenever the temperature is 80 degrees or more. I see the neighbors across the street have some Halloween decorations out. I haven't really bothered with decorations except for Christmas for the last several years. I guess I'm getting lazy in my 'middle age'. At least I'm not as bad as the folks who keep their lights off on Halloween and do not give out candy! I used to hate those folks as a kid. We'd ring and ring the doorbells just to annoy people that turned their lights out. So I vow to always answer the door and give out candy until I get too old to make it to the door before the kids leave. When that time comes, I'll just leave a candy bowl outside the door. ;-)
