CROPTOBERFEST

Thanks to all that attended Croptoberfest.  We had a great time and got much accomplished.  Let me know what time in March early April is good for you and we will schedule another.  March 19, 2010 is the Creative Memories Crop in Charlotte.   Mark your calendars now to attend a great crop, with lots of make and takes, prizes, and even a massage if you please.  More info will follow on that one when we have it available.  Thinking of Lancaster Retreat for mid-June or mid-July - which would you pick?

Frantically Searching for Fall

I am a northerner living in the south and I so miss the fall months in the northern New England states.  There was nothing like the week or so of an Indian Summer, when the uninvited cold disappeared for awhile and let us enjoy summer for a few more days.  Picking apples, apple cider, passing pumpkin patches and the beauty of the leaves changing and falling.  As a kid, raking leaves into a pile and jumping off the porch into them was great fun.  As an adult there is nothing like the first morning you walk outside and smell the crisp autumn air.  On our property in western NY our home sat at the bottom of a hill, so upon walking outside you saw magnificent color. 

Don't get me wrong SC is my home, but I wish I could bring the fall to the South, even if it's only for awhile. 

Manic Monday

What is it about Mondays that makes us all a little crazy?  Is it because we didn't get everything done on the weekend or do we dread another week of work.  I hate to get out of bed on Mondays, always wishing for another Sunday.  This morning was no different - I didn't want to start the work week and lay there thinking of all the things I had to accomplish in just 5 short days so that the following two could fly by - Again. 

What is your suggestion to make Mondays for favorable?
