My Month in a Sentence a Day
October 1 Sunday
Loaded up the leftovers from yesterday’s yard sale to take to the thrift store, via Waffle House for breakfast.

Met a lady to sell an antique set of dishes that didn’t sell at our Yard Sale on Saturday. She was so happy to get them. Her mother had the same pattern when she was growing up.

Got up at 2:30am for our 5:45 flight, and was too excited to sleep on the flight any!

Rainy day in New England is better than any day at work. From our condo in Lincoln, NH to Windsor VT today, with stops in between.

October 11 Wednesday
Did some fishing on a Lobster Boat in Portland Maine!
October 12 Thursday
The Flume Gorge is quite a sight to see in Lincoln, NH, but it’s quite a hike and all up-hill, so be prepared for that.
October 13 Friday
My favorite outing was today at the observatory on the top of Mount Washington, and riding the Cog Railway to get there was neat too!
October 14 Saturday
The last day of vacation and we walked around the adorable town of Kennebunk Maine. Lots of shops and picturesque sights.
October 15 Sunday
Got some great sunrise pictures from above the clouds, a definite perk to getting up at 3 am.

Well, the workday went fast, but I was HUNGRY all day long! That’s what I get for eating with abandon last week. But oh so worth it.

Harvested a bunch of herbs this afternoon for drying.

Sold the last left-over yard sale item today! WOOP! WOOP!
October 19 Thursday
Middle school football game after work to watch our granddaughter cheer and represent 7th grade on the Homecoming Court.
October 20 Friday
I know we all have different opinions, but I felt an overwhelming pride for my country, our military, and our flag as I stood there and listened to the US Marine playing taps, and then watched two young Marines folding the US flag and hand it to the family of a Veteran who was at Iwo Jima and I had to wonder how anyone who has EVER watched this live can possibly refuse to stand for the flag at any occasion.
October 21 Saturday
Enjoyed looking around at the open house of a new home decor store in town. Sad to report that I did not win one of the door prizes.
October 22 Sunday
Saw Victoria and Abdul tonight; its my kind of movie.

Quiet day at the office since most of the guys were absent.

Spent the day researching and organizing some office files and tying up loose ends. There must be a better way.
October 27 Friday
Date night at Carrabba’s in my newest Stitchfix top.
October 28 Saturday
I love Saturdays: Slept a little late, cooked breakfast, shopped at home decor/antique store, visited with granddaughters and held the baby, picked up limbs and sticks in the yard, washed a few clothes, worked a little on straightening up garage, cooked supper, sat in hot tub, watched world series, worked on blog.
October 29 Sunday
Serenaded by our retired bosslady after supper. I sure admire pianists.

Is your stitch fix top made of velvet?? It’s so super cute!
Yes, it is Jamie. And I LOVE it! It’s off the shoulder and it actually stays put. I love the color and the fit. Thanks! 🙂
Enjoyed being a part of your October sentences! Look forward to a future adventure with you and D!
Well hello BIL! Would this by any chance be Ed??? 🙂
The one and only!
You are going to be famous when I get through posting about our trip….
Famous? Heck, I want to get rich!
baby steps…
Followed your link to the pumpkin mac-n-cheese recipe. Oh, my gravy. Sounds so very scrumptious.
Your New England trip sounds delightful. I really, really want to revisit that area. PC and I need to make some plans. But then there’s the beach and that cruise, too!!
I am all for freedom of speech but hate to see what I consider disrespectful behavior toward our flag, too. Watched a video of people on a plane pushing to get off although they had been asked to sit in respect until the body of a soldier was removed first. So sad.
Your berry-colored top is lovely on you. Great lip color, too. Wow, you sure clean up good, girl!
I should have noted that I could not find pumpkin ale. So I bought ale and pumpkin spice and it was delicious! Thanks so much Leslie! 🙂
Your herbal bouquet is lovely, your vacation sounds fab, that berry colour is stunning on you & I’m looking up the pumpkin ale mac and cheese as we speak!
Thanks so much Jo. You will love the mac and cheese! Although I should have noted that I could not find pumpkin ale, so I bought ale and pumpkin spice and it was delicious! 🙂
Natalie Attired, with that first name it’s got to be great 🙂 Sounds like you had a fun October.
Oh I am sure you are right NATALIE, its all in the name. haha Thanks for visiting with me. 🙂
I love the idea of a sentence a day. Great idea. I also love your Stix boxes. I may look into that. I am not enjoying going shopping for clothing any longer. This may be my answer. Thanks for sharing a month in your life.
