No photos today. Just a comment.
I have been a coin collector since I was six years old and my uncle introduced my brother and me to it. We began with pennies and moved up to dimes. Somewhere along the way, in my high school and college years, I lost interest.
But now I'm back into it. And I'm having fun!
Do you have a hobby like coin collecting or stamp collecting?
We spent more than four hours on the Skagway White Pass train.
How many photos can one take in this amazing and awesome landscape? It turns out that one hundred and seventy pictures is not that unusual. Are you ready to be overwhelmed? Or bored?
We boarded the train and off we went on our own adventure!
Here are just a few photos of the views from the back of the train during the few couple of hours of the trip. More to come later...
Eleanor is ready to ride!
October 10. What do you do when your granddaughter has a birthday party with a Percy Jackson Camp Half Blood theme?
You make crowns from leaves and flowers
create scepters and lightning bolts and wear CHB tee shirts.
A new Day. A new Friday. And a new Friday Fave Fives (follow the link). Last night, as I pondered what to post today for my five faves, I easily chose two things for which I am thankful. The other three...well, I couldn't think of anything 'special'. Then I realized, Blessings are often simply basic parts of my day. A good reminder.
1. I am thankful for Friday Fave Fives because this weekly 'exercise' helps me stay grounded.
2. I am thankful that I can be out in my garden doing weeding and other jobs to care for my plants. Currently, I am doing a big job of digging out more grape hyacinths from the bed in front of the house. Weeds and bulbs and debris. Even if it doesn't get all done this fall, I still enjoy having my hands in the dirt. And no photos. You really don't want to see what it looks like...
3. My daughter-in-law's sister and a niece are here visiting from Arizona. The main reason is PAL'S upcoming birthday party. While they are here, they are doing many fun things. I joined them on Wednesday for part of a 'coffee shop crawl' that they made up themselves. It was so fun!
4. I am thankful for reading time. Currently, I am reading So Big by Edna Ferber. This is a book that my book group Well Read Mom chose. At first, I was not excited. But as I read more, the more I have enjoyed it. Set in Chicago area, centered around a young woman who ends up marrying a farmer and learning to love farming, it is so much more than that. I won't give any spoilers, just that I am enjoying this book very much.
5. I am loving the cool mornings and mild days of autumn. The leaves are turning beautiful colors. My favorite season! I scrolled through my October photos from other years and remembered how I have loved October in Ohio for the past six years.
Blogtober Day 8
I love Autumn! And walking all the paths where the leaves cover the trail.
