since we've been hanging onto a gift card for awhile now until waiting for just that "something" that we wanted but wouldn't go out and buy for ourselves.....

the "Buddy Heater" was just that "special something".....

and since we have lots of local weekend camping trips on the "hope to do" list for 2014...

we expect to put Buddy to work....    

and, it's another "plus" to have ready in the event of a major earthquake we've been hearing about forever that the experts say is coming.... we can be warm while looking at the rubble .......

I'm excited about the upcoming camping trip....nervous but excited at the same time....

today firewood was picked up, the search is on for an easy to pack and prepare meal for a potluck, and conversations on the internet are being viewed on changing routes to the destination.....

but with days still left to go....I'll be busy with family...they'll be busy getting ready for trips of their own....mother-daughter...and daughter-mother time....

a bit of Nana - Granddaughter time last night sharing the experience of Trick or Treating....

the hour on the clock will soon be moved back......

perfect timing for my desire to fall back into my home....

falling back into decorating for the holidays....

back into my kitchen...

the quiet coziness the early darkness ......









Zoe caught on in a second flat with the whole "Trick or Treat Thing".....

pleased as punch with herself and her basket full of loot.....

funny how kids mimic everything they see and hear .....

every single candy treat was picked up and shaken at the corner.... as seen by Nana who does this to shake down the M & M's in the bag.... she did this too...with every candy package....

I had promised to share the recipe from the weeks earlier crock pot meal ...... not a "do over" for me

Happy November ..... it's time......

to get the house ready for the explosion of Christmas that Zoe's never seen....

I bet you had a great time with the little one. I love your home, very cozy and I would love the rocking horse on the wall if you are giving it away.
Hugs,
Meredith

I saw those crock pot starter things and wondered how they were. :-)

I like your new Buddy.
