Blossoming into the new week :) This morning, we had a nice peaceful new day, rising and shining :) it was a big weekend, we watched some football last night, and went to sleep a bit earlier, around 9:45pm :) it was good getting a full night's sleep, especially after a big weekend :) i was up early this morning, enjoying some nice time here on DS, writing to friends, i heard some rain outside here. i began to get ready for my early morning nature walk :) i gathered a bowl of goodies, and went outside :) it was lightly raining,i wasn't outside for too long ,but wanted to make sure our nature friends had some goodies :) i put the goodies in the bird sanctuary area in our backyard, and came back indoors, i made a nice hot tea with peppermint candies, it's my favorite :) Our plants are enjoying the rain, it's really good, and replenishing :) We have flowers blossoming ,and Holly and i are looking forward to enjoying some more nature walks, harvesting goodies :) We're gonna use some apples, from our trees, as some of the apples to bake an apple pie on baking friday :) it's gonna be so nice :) We'll harvest our potatoes soon too :) the plants are continuing to do well :) our front yard grass, is very green, from recent rain, some of the nature still looks like early august nature :) we have temperatures in the 70's here this week, it's beginning to get much cooler :) We're looking forward to lots more nature adventures as the month and fall season blossoms :) Happy september nature smiles :)

There were some issues at Alyssa's and family's home. Aj's side of the family, they aren't too friendly, and not very welcoming,and there were some issues there. there usually always is something going on there, that makes us all feel uncomfortable. 2 years ago, my dad, Holly, and i had no seats,and had to sit on cement slabs, and last year, Aj and his dad made fun of and they laughed at my Washington football team's QB getting injured. We try to block out their negativity, but some stuff was going on. when we arrived, we said hi to Aj's dad, mom, family, they didn't even say hi back,looked at us like we were weird. ok, so we went indoors, and Alyssa walked right past us, didn't greet us,we felt that was a bit upsetting, as her welcome would have made us feel more comfortable. Aj's mom, she and Alyssa had an issue. that's Alyssa's mother inlaw. what happened was, when it was time to eat,Aj's mom didn't approve of the menu, of pizza, and grinders sandwiches.
it really upset Alyssa, she went into the other part of their house, into her room and didn't come out of the room for nearly 50 minutes. it was feeling intense there. she was texting with my mom ,and said Aj's mom is a fake/phoney, oh my! Alyssa did finally come out, when it was time for Brody to open his presents. it was extremely uncomfortable there yesterday, but we were there for Brody. my dad and niece Taylynn didn't go to the party, they don't like to be around Aj's side of the family. Lisa, Kayla, Zach, and Lisa's boyfriend, all didn't go, and Jenn and family didn't go either. it was just my mom, Holly, and i, and also my brother Bobby, Stacy and the kids. i think my mom and Alyssa are gonna talk about maybe, having 2 party's for Brody next year, where we can have a party here, and they can have a party there. We've tried to be nice, friendly, and cordial with Aj's side of the family, it's like they stick their nose up at us, and it's not very nice of them. We went for Brody, because we wanted to see him have a nice birthday, and he did, and that's all that matters, is that he enjoyed his birthday :) we hope next year, we could have 2 birthday's, so that we really don't have to be around Aj and his family. they think they are too good for everyone else, and we don't need to be subjected their negative energy. we've went for years, to the triplets birthday's, and now Brody's, and it just seems, things get worse with Aj's side of the family, and we notice less people going.
we've hoped, things would get more comfortable, my mom even told me, when we were getting ready to leave ,she felt very uncomfortable about having to walk past Aj's side of the family. my mom doesn't have shyness, or social anxiety, it goes to show, even if my mom got uncomfortable, how truly uncomfortable it is. we feel bad too, because we tried and tried, to talk with them, being social, and it's sad, that his family, seems to have some uppity highness of rudeness they portray. i was thinking evening, i know Aj and his dad like football, and it would just be so nice, if they were friendly, and we all could talk football, even checking out the scores, during the games during the party. it's sad, and unfortunate, how no matter how hard we tried to connect with them, it just seemed to lead us to feeling more and more uncom fortable, due to their rudeness.We're all ok, and thankful we were there to help Brody have a fun birthday, and are moving forward into this new week :)
We're enjoying a relaxing day :) my family, Holly, and i are doing well, healthy, and in good spirits :) We enjoyed a nice lunch, and also enjoying decorating for fall, and halloween season :) Holly and i love decorating :) Tonight, Holly and i are going to watch some episodes of Lost show :) Tomorrow's sweet treats tuesday! :) Holly and i are gonna cook some pumpkin pancakes tomorrow, and we're gonna have some iced coffees :) There's lots more great things to look forward too, as the month of September continues on :) We're very happy,thankful,and blessed, to have you all in our lives,and to be able to share in these very special times of the season with you all :) Thank you angel friends, so very much ,for all that you do for us, for comforting us, uplifting our spirits, and for the very special joy you all bring our hearts :) We deeply appreciate everything, with all of the love of our hearts :) Big group caring, happy sunny friendship hug :) We wish everyone a nice peaceful evening and night :)
