Special Weekend

October started out with two special occassions--Tom turned 50, and one of my widow friends from my other blog got married! We combined the events by taking off on Friday to drive over to Indiana where Carol's wedding would be. Friday afternoon we went to Indiana's Oldest Herb Farm--and I definitely want to return!
Even better than that was the privilege of being invited to celebrate the wedding of Carol and Chris that evening! It brought back memories of meeting Tom and the incredible blessing that God brought us together. I hope and pray the same for Carol and Chris. Chris is a prince of a guy, and Carol is a bundle of love and enthusiasm. It was wonderful to meet!
The next day we concentrated more on Tom's birthday. We drove down to Louisville and test drove a car he's interested in (a VERY nice convertible!), and then we turned toward Cincinnatti. Heading up there we checked out the location of the Kentucky Speedway, in case Tom decides to get season tickets for a couple Nascar events next year (his birthday present). After that we went to a great place for dinner, and walked it off afterwards on the 6 acres of the crazy grocery store "Jungle Jims."
Sunday was cool and rainy. We relaxed around the house--if you call wallpapering relaxing. I finished it up Sunday afternoon. Now to start painting!
WRITING UPDATE: Tomorrow is my writing day, just one day this week, actually only tomorrow morning, but I hope to make some good progress.
Right now the pictures I'd like to show you are not loading. I'll try again later this week, so please check back.

Tom was burning some brush at the back of our lot early this evening. I walked back there to talk to him, and lo and behold---a big wild turkey came walking out of the woods on the lot across from us! I thought maybe he smelled the smoke and decided to check it out. And he didn't seem in too much of a hurry, but he picked up the pace when he saw us. A minute later, we saw some more movement where the turkey was, and a coyote peered over at us. He turned around after eyeballing us. I think maybe he was following that meaty looking turkey. I never know what I'll see out here!   And this little thing was inside the screened-in porch today. The green anole made it out alive yesterday, so I guess word is out---Fud isn't a threat! Those are NOT my fingers in the picture.

Me? A Fan? Could Be!

Jennifer Lawrence interview on David Letterman HD - November 20, 2013 I've never been a fan of a real-life movie star (Bambi isn't real). But after watching this interview last night I just might! This girl's hilarious!

New Pets

My garden failed in everything except a pot of parsley. Last week I noticed tiny green beads stuck to the parsley leaves, and a few days later some small black caterpillars, and now.... PETS! Yep. Pet caterpillars. Not Monarchs, though. They kind of look like the Monarch butterfly caterpillar, but these are Black Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Love the parsley. They totally destroyed my plant so I bought them some from the grocery store. I put the stems in a cup of water and it's holding up well enough---at the rate they're going they might eat it all before it wilts anyway! I wish I'd taken their pictures on Wednesday when they were less than 1" long. Now they're a good 2" long. Let me introduce you:   This one is named Parsley. Start up the music for Scarborough Fair. Sage. Rose, Mary, and And (yes, one of them is named And. Scroll down and see if you guessed why I named it And). Thymes Seven. Yes, this last one is named S...
