Hi Chris Glad you and your family are having a nice day and enjoyed shopping, I know Taylynn will love Her snacks and gifts. Great to see your garden growing. The popcorn sunflowers and pumpkins seem to be growing fast.All the plants are doing awesome. I believe those are the same eclipse glasses I ordered from e-bay. I paid a dollar more or so on e-bay.Not sure if I will use them or just stay indoors that afternoon, Thanks for all my nice hugs today Enjoy your movie Hugs to all-Stephanie

Hi Chris & family, wonderful day shopping at the dollar store. More celebrations to come, you are very lucky to have such a wonderful family. Baseboards are cut for the bathroom, just have to stain them. Went for a walk in town tonight to clear my mind. Thinking about a big move in my life. Hugs! Brooke

Hey Chris
I'm glad you got some shopping done. I was in our local Dollar Tree store, too. I went last week. I saw some Halloween stuff as well. It's a bit early for me to think about Halloween. Though it's my fave holiday. I love the pics of your garden, is that your kitty or is it a visiting neighbor's kitty? How is your new doggie doing? I haven't heard much about him. I hope you have a great Sun. And Taylynn has a great birthday!
