Over the hills and through the woods

          To grandmother's house I go.
After my grandfather died recently, my grandma and I thought it was a good time again for a girly visit just the two of us and it was WONDERFUL!
She was totally up to get her very first pedicure at 92,  and she wanted red toe nails!
She wanted to go out to eat at lovely Lolas, we dined on french fries and drank hot cocoa with whip cream at Perkins, we laughed, went thrifting, we visited the family plot, took long country drives where she showed me the house my grandfather was born in, I got to listen to her sweet voice say her morning prayers. It was all such a blessed weekend with lots of heart to hearts.

 
Somewhere over New Mexico 
My Halloween socks
 
Fall was everywhere
 
My cheeks were so frozen from walking outside on State St, watching all the families and lil kiddos in costumes bundled up in their winter coats and mittens. The smells of wood fires on front lawns filled the air, it was so dang charming
 

 

 
Late nights with homework and chai tea


 

Weekend getaway

This husband of mine, he takes pride in going to great lengths to surprise me. Well he did it again!  We spent a few days at a cozy lil getaway in Prescott Arizona,  The Vendome Hotel. We ate, we slept, we hiked, we conquered!  It was wonderful

Grateful

Gosh I really do love our little life together
