Hello Friends! I pray your October has been a blessing to you! It certainly has been here...of course, I say that like not every October is a blessing. Far from it! When you live on the face of the sun for months just the mention of October is a joy! Ha!
I may have be influenced by social media...just a little. One day I was doom-scrolling and came across something called a porch goose. I remembered these from the 90's! I always wanted one but back then I was struggling to make ends meet and couldn't afford one so when I came across that article about the phenomenon that swept the country back in the day, I started searching for my own. Low and behold those silly geese have made a come back and I got myself one...or three! I immediately set out making outfits for them.
This is the first outfit I made. I have made several more but I'll spare you the fashion show for now since I feel this will be a long post as it is. Anyhow, I was influenced and I like it!
May I introduce "Tabitha Twitchett" to you. I think I posted about someone dumping her when she was not much more than weaned. She was the tiniest little thing, not even as big as my hand. Well, she isn't that tiny now. She still isn't very big but her attitude sure is! She's a little meany but I'm sure she will settle down once she is spayed and has aged a bit more. I know...I know...I'm not a cat person. So many times I've said that and I am still not a cat person but when things come here to the cottage, rarely, if ever, do they leave. I am not attached to her but God brought her here for a reason. He trusted us to take care of her and so we will, just like all the other animals that have come here.
This past weekend the Mister's two brothers came in for a visit. They both live in Michigan and just so happens both took vacation time to go see their Mama in Texas. Usually it's one or the other. Never both. It was wonderful to see them and catch up. My Mister took them camping and I had the house all to myself! I did get to visit with them and I enjoyed it so much! I think we all forget how much of a blessing it is when we have family that you can be around for more than five minutes. I don't have that with most of my family and the Mister doesn't either with most of his. We love them all but it is difficult to be around some. These two brothers, who incidently are step-brothers, are ones that we both could spend time with on a regular basis. I've always said, it isn't necessarily blood that makes a family. Sometimes it is simply love.
Also, this past weekend, my new grandblessing's baby shower was held. My daughter is getting mighty close! She is carrying that baby right in front! Wadded up in a ball he is. Bless her heart! She is such a small person and right now she is all baby bump! I am expecting the phone call just any second!
I'm just sharing a tiny bit of the last few weeks. If I were to share it all you would be sitting here for a good while so I will save some for another time. As I said, nothing too terribly important or exciting. Just a bit of puttering about...
Thanks for stopping in!
