Sometimes, Andy has good ideas. Today he decided to move John’s television outside, so that we could watch the Chicago Bears game. It was a lovely afternoon to watch football and enjoy some adult beverages.
Ideas
Photo Album Links
Laura periodically sends me links to different photo albums from the various marching band photographers. These two pictures are from ExtravaBANDza and were from one of the albums that she sent me today. I love it!
The Best Jim
Deer
It has been fun to watch this deer that has been hanging around our house recently. She appears to be relatively young, but she also is not particularly skittish. She fits in well with all the rest of the wildlife.
Jazz
It was a night out at Broadway Brewery for Andy and me.
We enjoyed happy hour with the Central Missouri Sigma Chi Alumni Chapter and then spent the rest of the evening listening to the jazz quartet. It was a great way to spend an evening!
Creative
The “Pumpkin Head” mica powder that I ordered from Mad Micas finally arrived today with a free sample, called “Bermuda Triangle”.
It is time to be creative!
First, I made “Autumn Hollow” soap. I used my new mica, pumpkin mold, and “Pumpkin Spice” fragrance oil.
Then, I used “Dark Orchard” fragrance oil, which is a favorite of mine, and the free sample mica. The blue is gorgeous! The top soap is with a clear soap base and the bottom soap is with a white soap base.
I love both of these! I am going to have to figure out a soap for the blue mica. It is time to dig through my favorite shopping sites for an ocean fragrance oil…
Back to College
It was great to see the kids for the weekend!
After attending the annual Trachtenberg Labor Day party, the kids loaded the car and said goodbye to Jim.
They left for Cape Girardeau about 5:45 pm and arrived back at school right about 10 pm.
It was great to see them for a relaxed weekend. I do miss having them around, but I am also very excited for them to be leading their own lives.
