Random Tuesday....Where did summer go?



Welcome each and everyone of you!  Follow me as I do the Randomizer Shuffle!! 

My day starts at 3AM and some much needed coffee...then off to the shower!!  Ahhhhh!  Feels so good!
Then load the car and Dr. John and SueAnn are off on their vacation!  Woot!!

Checked in the bags and loaded onto the airplane...good ole American Airlines!!

Got my window seat...



And my coffee....

Me and my fellow air-peeps are onward to Dallas and then on to Columbus, Ohio!  My mom lives in Lancaster, Ohio which is south of Columbus.

morning at brother Jacks'

I have to say, that it was such a blessing to be able to spend time with my family!  As I remembered 9/11, I hugged my family extra tight.  They made my visit special and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and loved!  Sigh!!  Nothing beats family!!!

The flight home was uneventful and it was good to be home and sleeping in my own bed! Ahhh!  Sleep Comfort...you were missed for sure!!

I have a craft show on November 5th and a Doll Show, November 12th!!  Whew!  Time is flying by!!  I have so much to do and I need to get a lot of it done before October 5th!!!  Surgery day!!  They say recovery will be two to three weeks!!  Sheesh!!  But I am so excited!!

Dr. John  is doing the final paper work on the book.  So it won't be long now!!  We are both anxiously waiting for that publishing date!!  Almost like having a baby!

Spent yesterday getting my nails and toes done.  Jesse did a good job!  Then Cheri and I went out shopping...rather late...but we found the coolest Halloween decorations.  Cheri wants to deck out her house for the holidays and she sure got a good start.  I will be helping.....so I will take pics of the finished results!!
Speaking of decorating...that is what I need to do this week in  my spare time.  Ha!!!!  Holiday decor coming up....!!!!!!!

Don't forget to stop over at Stacy's of Stacy Uncorked!!  See what the other Randomizers are up too!!  And join in!  So much fun!  Oh!  And yes!  Keely of The UnMom is still on hiatus!  Sigh!  I think she is liking this too much.  We miss her!!!!

Have a magical and blessed day!
Hugging you
SueAnn

Looks nice! I hope your winter is as awesome. :)

PS. Your music scared the CRAP out of me! The volume must be up loud but it took me a full Kylie Minogue song to figure out where the heck the music was coming from! LOL

What a blessing to spend time with family. It brought to mind my mother's rather large family in the recent passing of my grandpa. I am saddened because I was unable to attend his service, but I managed to visit a day late. Enough rambling already, right? lol Have a good week!
