Tuesday, Some fun things!

     Okay I will finally admit I think Fall is coming. It is very unseasonably cold here and we have already had snow in the Wa ha's.  It is just so early for a cold snap here.  I loves me the heat.

     I also love fall.  The flowers which have been over heated come back to life.  The changing of the leaves is so beautiful.  I love pumpkins, in any form. Plus the garden that you wanted so badly to grow and produce is finally able to be put to bed. (thank goodness). I start to make more soups and stews.  (cheaper and warmer).  We usually take a trip. I always remember that Daughter #3 was born in October.  Oh how we waited for her. After our second daughter Franka died as a baby, we were told not to have any more.  But we got this lovely little copper haired daughter in October about 8 years after her older sister was born.  She is a treasure.  Finally our eldest had a sister. All things that are good in October.

     I get to see my Sissie and Sluggy in less than a week and I am getting so excited.  It is hard to concentrate on what I need to do here.

     I went down and paid the house payment and added an extra $500.00 to the principle.  Since about $1200.00 of our $1580.00 payment goes to principle now, that total will drop.  See side bar if you please. Also if you are saving a penny a day you will need to add $89.58 to your penny bank.  I took all my extra money to put on the house so I will have to squirrel and earn that $89.58 asap.

     I was able to complete all sewing in the shop yesterday, but more came in so I am not out of work completely.

1. shorten sleeves on two mens jackets
2. shorten pants
3. shorten pants add belt loops
4. fix bridesmaid top
5. shorten and steam wedding dress
6. peg two pairs of mens trousers

     The shop was really steady with people in and out yesterday and I did not get done with my list until after 6 p.m. I was fatigued and did not get to the linen closet but that is all right because it means I can take it off the October list.  I'm sneaky that way.I did pick up the vacuum bags.

     My cleaning out the pantry meal today is using up a package of curry mix.  I will add potatoes, carrots, onions and we always have rice as a staple. One more thing out of the cupboard.  Tomorrow it is oyster stew, plus I think I am going to make some kind of pasta up as I need to use up some cheese and all the tomatoes we have frozen and canned.  I will need to run to the store for cottage cheese.  We will see as the littles are coming tomorrow and who knows what I can get done with them.  I plan God laughs.

     But I am flipping my schedule around today and the first thing I am going to do today is CLEAN THE LINEN CLOSET, and maybe go through all the Christmas and birthday closets.  Then I will sew.  IF I start sewing I will not get to other things.  But as I feel caught up except what comes in on a daily basis I can flip the schedule.  So nice don't know how long this will last of if God is getting ready to laugh.

Do you have any fall plans?  Are you making a list or moving things over from September?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
