My Special Cocktail

This is the new rug I purchased for the Fall season by the front door - isn't it pretty? I really like the colors in it. It makes my front entry look very festive!! Still have to put out my autumn leaves on the banister and other fall things.
Yesterday we looked at new front doors but not sure if we can get a return on the purchase - they are NOT inexpensive.

I know that maybe my hydrangeas aren't as beautiful as DeAnn's "fresh on the bush" ones but I think they make a nice addition to my entry way. Wish I had a little table to put them on - guess I'll have to go to some garage sales or thrift stores to see what I can find. Should I ditch the doily or leave it?

My entry looks so big now since I got rid of the rug with all the shoes - actually, Amy, since you and Chase moved I don't have nearly as many shoes by the front door. Wonder why?

This is my "special" cocktail for the day. I have two glasses down and am due for another one in 4 minutes and 45 seconds. I can't say it's as bad as everyone says it is - just make sure it's cold and drink the whole thing without breathing or stopping.

My appointment is for 8:15 so say a prayer for me around then - oh, that's right, DeAnn, you won't be up yet. Oh well, say one for me tonight.

I have spent almost the entire day (after going to the gym) on paperwork and cleaning out files. I shredded a huge amount of paperwork and have another stack sitting here for the burning pile. It is such a good feeling to get that out of the way. Have to finish my tax paperwork and then hopefully, I can get my front door painted. Next week I'll have pictures of our newly-painted home complete with the new lights, etc.

Have a super week!! Love to you all,

MOM and Gramma
