Happenings on the Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains

Weekend Coffee Share

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia.  How you doing this 35th week of 2023?  The Grands started back-to-school, that means it's fall.  Daughter had an end of summer pool party, I was extra eyes around the water.  I went to football games, Kevin went squirrel hunting.  We both went to a lake picnic hosted by Son-in-Law's parents.  Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & I'll share my fall bucket list with you.  I've already marked a few things off the list, come walk with me...

I made this wreath using all
dollar store items.

Happy Fall!

Me cooking up sloppy joes to take
to the football game.

*  I hosted 2 tailgate football parties.  I cooked the food at Daughter's house then took it to the football games to eat there.  That's my twisted version of a tailgate party.  There were sloppy joes for the high school game.  There were hotdogs for the youth games. 

The hotdogs were pretty good
with ketchup & shredded cheese.

  

*  Son-in-Law's parents brought pizza to the lake for a picnic.  The weather was picnic perfect.  I enjoyed walking along the water's edge & playing in the sand with the kids.

*  The trail camera got pictures of the critter that's been getting into the bird feeder.

These are some of the things going on in my neck of the woods, how has your week been?
