Hi angel friends! :) i wanted to share with everyone about some things that went on yesterday, it was a bit hectic, before our baking friday adventure. during the early morning, i had my cell phone in my back pocket, with my digital camera while i was decorating our kitchen for our baking friday adventure :) i didn't turn my phone on, but my camera must have pushed the phone on button ,i heard a text come in. about 5 minutes later, i looked at my phone, and noticed most of my texts were deleted, and then noticed, all of my contacts were deleted, and all of my pictures, and archived texts. it was very upsetting, as i was just getting ready to text friends to wish them a happy baking friday. i got my other new phone (same phone), i put sims card in, along with batter, and thankfully have most of contacts in there, but needed a few more contacts. the phone situation took an extra hour to get situated. we also had a leak on the other side of the basement, it seeped through the wall area, and got some carpet slightly wet. my dad and i fixed it, and i put a heater and blow dryer on, to make it dry quicker, and all of a sudden, a fuse blew. the fuse box is behind my halloween town. oh my! we carefully opened it, and didn't have to move too many items, but it was still quite upsetting, all that was going on. we put the new fuse in, and i re-did the back area of my halloween town ,just like it was before, it looks fine. it was a very frazzling day leading up to baking time, my nerves/anxiety, absolutely frazzled. my family, Holly, friends were very supportive and helpful throughout the day though, i'm very thankful, and made it through the day. Holly and i have dried our carpet in areas where it got damp, and all is ok, it was just majorly frustrating, it was like one thing after the next, which was very frustrating, but am thankful we all pulled together for a fun baking friday adventure , and a peaceful night :)



We're enjoying a great day! :) my family, Holly, and i are doing well, healthy, and in good spirits :) it was a nice time, celebrating my brother Bobby's birthday today :) we're so happy he's having a nice birthday, and loves his gifts :) Happy birthday to our dear friend Kirsten (Agirlonlifesroad) :) Today's her birthday too :) We love sharing in and celebrating these special times with you all our dear angel friends :) Holly and i put some movies on this morning, before the party, and picked out a new movie to watch tonight : )We love our fun, popcorn movie party days and night's :) We're gonna have some snacks :) we're continuing to decorate, for fall and halloween season :) it's coming along really well :) We're going to decorate our front yard in early october, for halloween season too :) Tomorrow, Holly and i are gonna watch TWD show, and football :) our teams have late afternoon games :) We look forward to having a TWD and football party :) keep healthy, safe, and strong everyone :) Thank you angel friends, so very much, for all that you do for us, and for the very special heart warming joy you all bring to our days, our hearts, and our lives :) You all are wonderfully nice, sweet, and very caring :) We deeply appreciate everything, with all of the love of our hearts :) big group happy sunny caring sunny september sunshine friendship hug :) You all give us strength, hope, inspiring us to enjoy each day to the fullest :) Thank you all, for brightening our days and making each day very special :) We're so happy, thankful, and blessed to have you all in our lives :) We look forward to sharing in many more very special times, adventures, and all of the seasonal September traditions and festivities with family, friends, nature, garden harvesting and the wonderful spirit of the season :)

Hi sweet Chris, I’m really sorry to hear what happened to Jon Friday that’s a lot of stuff to deal with. U handled it very well and I’m glad u were able to get everything taken care of. That’s a real nice pumpkin u r growing in your garden. I love the label and Holly created for Bobby’s bday present of jalapeño peppers from your garden. Very professionally and nicely done. The pizza, hotdogs and cake at the party sound yummy. Bobby got very nice gifts from all. Y’all were very generous. Your flowers and Halloween town look great.
