How about our St. Louis Cardinals?? They are rockin it. The last time I remember all of this excitement I was giving birth to my second child. Boo as you guys know him. It was in 1982. His dad, wanted me to name him Ozzie after Ozzie Smith and I said without hesitation NO!!! Now I think Boo might have been happy with that name. Tell me, does he look like an Ozzie? This was Boo last year. He just turned 29 on the 9th of this month. One more year and my baby boy will be 30! YIKES!!! And I'm only 29.
Now that I've had my Halloweenie decor out for a couple months I'm ready to roll out the......ok I won't say it. I sent Nancy a text pic yesterday of a Christmas tree in my bedroom and aksed her, "is this too soon?" lolol She of course said YESSSS. I left the tree up anyway. I'm enjoying it.
I even bought my first Christmas Annie's of the season. Oh yea Nicole's already whipping them up over on her site. They go fast you better get over there.
I went to Mexico, Missouri the other day to visit Homestead Hearth and there is a great antique shop along the way. They had all of this Christmas stuff out. Not antiques obviously but still, I managed to bring some home with me. Half of the store is either seconds or leftovers from some store I imagine. I just love holiday's. Can't wait for the next one, Thanksgiving to begin.Not to mention that's hunka and my anniversary. Yep we were married the day after Thanksgiving years and years ago. Ok, so it wasn't that long ago. 1989 to be exact.
This made me think of my BFF. Why you ask?? Because it's a cat. She's not a cat but she loves cats.
Hunka and I were at the grocery store last week taking pics of these. Haaaa can't you just hear them all laughing?? Sort of scary really? Yvette, are you afraid??
Loved the purple hair.
Sort of jumping around here. But I bought two quilts at local antique malls recently. This is one of them.
Here's another.
This is what I made Nancy for Halloween. The photo is not good, hopefully she will get a better one. It's an old Thimblerries pattern. I loved it. Tried to make two but just didn't get around to it.
Before I forget Leisa your the winner of the PKM fat quarters. When my fab comes in I'll get them out to you.
We have a beautiful hotel in the Wildwood Center close by our house and they have turned the fountain water a shade of red/pink. I can't decide if it's pink for breast cancer awareness or a light red for the Cardinals. So I'm saying it's for both. Either way I think it's cool. I see it everyday, it's in the center where my local Starbucks is.
Isn't that hotel pretty? And all the trees in the background changing colors. I love it here!! Have I told you that lately?
When I woke up the other morning I noticed the Holly Berry trees blooming. I love the RED berries. These trees have gotten huge. We are way up and the trees are taller than my window. I want to reach out the window and cut some of the branches and bring inside.
Can you tell how high up we are?? That's the fish down there. We don't have a two story house. It's because of the basement I guess that we are up so high. From the front of our house it looks small. Anyway, that's why we pay someone to clean our windows. Remember hunka falling off the ladder when we were selling our Ca. house? I don't trust him up there anymore and I'm for sure not going up there.
Alright then, that was alot of stuff!! Sorry to jump around but I take so many pics and don't get around to showing them.
Lots of stuff going on with you Sharon. Happy Birthday Boo! I wish you were still friends with your friend who you made pretzels with, maybe she misses you too. I like your new Annie dolls, so cute. Happy Fall Sharon! Have a great weekend.

I am so glad to learn that I can be younger than my children! Thanks for the heads up on that one. My oldest is almost 17 so I'm saving your story for a few years down the road. Ok, I just have to add - Go Tigers! Have a great weekend. ~Ann

Whoa -- you sure pack a lot into a post Ms. Red. Isn't it funny that our children can be older than we are??? You wouldn't think it could be, but I think we're living proof that it is!
Slow down on the C-C-C ... I just can't say it. We must get through market first!!! Love those old quilts!

Thanks for the morning laugh! You know, those pumpkins don't scare me one bit. I love them and would have bought a few. My cute little Annie that Nancy gave me doesn't scare me either. :) I may even pop over to Nicole's and get me a Christmas one.
That Hotel looks nice! Ranette and I are going to have an adventure one day and maybe we will stay there and stalk you. LOL!

Oh! I know where Mexico, Mo. Is! We see the signs every time we are coming/going to the KC airport.....which will be soon since of course we head there from SoCa for Thanksgiving. Wonder if we'll have snow this year? I was thinking of an old friend this AM driving to work, we didn't unfriend one another, just drifted apart with life's changes. I'm going to call her for lunch...thanks for the nudge.

I think I need to stalk you with Yvette and Ranette too. I love my new Thimbleberries quilt. Put that C tree away lol If you blog it now you won't have anything to blog. Oh wait I'm talking about the queen of picture taking. We have market coming up so there will be lots there.

Hi Sharon. I loved this post. Lots of goodness. My son was born in Aug '82 and you know me being a hop, skip & jump across the river, I'm cheering on those Cards...even as I type! :) Love those quilts you bought and your Annies, oh & your little Christmas tree. Ok, love it all. Hope you have a great week-end!

You can really pack a lot in one post. I agree it's too early for the tree, I always wait for Halloween to be over but your tree is really so cute. The antique quilts look in great condition, lucky you gave them a home.
Enjoy your weekend,
Wendy

Boo can only be named Ozzie if he can do flips out on the field! It isn't too early for lighted trees. I tried to get C to put the lights on the house - so he doesn't have to do it when it is cold- he didn't buy it. LOL! Have fun in Houston!!!
