Happenings on the Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains

Weekend Coffee Share

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia. How you doing this 41st week of 2023? Kevin blowed leaves, I prepared for a housewarming shower for Grand. The oldest one has moved out on his own. Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage or how about some moon juice or rocket fuel? Come walk with me & I'll tell you about the birthday parties that went on this week. The weather has been nice, several rain showers, the leaves are changing colors & falling off the trees, it looks like we're in a Hallmark movie.

Happy 6th Birthday to Viv.

Happy 4th Birthday to Jean.

* I took 2 of the Grands to their Friend's Minecraft & Hello Kitty birthday parties & I got to be a party participator too. My favorite game was keeping balloons in the air using pool noodles. The balloons were those punch ball type ones that are a little tuffer & don't pop as easy. We played the game outside, of course. Oh my gosh, it was so fun with everyone laughing & chasing after the balloons. The wind was blowing a little & took the balloons sailing over the garage.

Go Braves! Chop! Chop!

* Grand's birthday party was at game one of the baseball playoffs for the Atlanta Braves. Grand celebrated with a double date along with his parents & the Baby Grands.

Happy 15th Birthday to Grand Colton.

* Youngest Baby Grand turned 1 year old with a space themed birthday party & smash burger cookout. The party foods & decorations were so cute! One of the wonderful things is that most of the party stuff was hammy downs & perfect for our fun-loving make-believe astronaut. Me & Sister had a little taste testing contest going between the Moon Juice & the Rocket Fuel. (Orange Hawaiian punch & Blueberry Hawaiian punch). My choice was the Orange Moon Juice, but the overall favorite was the Blueberry Rocket Fuel.

I have to get in on the action
when there is opportunity.
1-2-3 blastoff!

Happy 1st Birthday to Grand Toney.

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

Me & Grand stopped by the produce stand to look
at their Halloween decoration displays &
creepy life-size scarecrows.

Hello there,

I'm glad you dropped by. Walk along with me & let's share some of our everyday activities of cooking, cleaning, weight management, gardening, camping, retirement, frugality, saving, spending, grandkids & whatever other stuff comes up. I try to live each day as if it were a new adventure to experience. I'm living a retired frugal life and I'm loving it. I'm discovering contentment & happiness as I prioritize what is most important. I go on a picnic every chance I can get. I enjoy going on jeep rides & hiking to explore all of natures beauties & landscapes. I have fun searching for heart shaped rocks & taking pictures of wildflowers. I like to cook, occasionally. I'm always on the lookout for a new recipe to try. I prefer simple recipes that are one dish meals or cooked in the crockpot & have ingredients I already have on hand. Come back again soon, so we can share other happenings that come up along the way - Karen.
