Beautiful Weekend!

We made a trip to Pippa Passes, KY yesterday.
The drive through VA was breathtaking! The colors are beautiful and we even saw a train running through the mountains. It was so pretty!
Why did we go to Pippa Passes?
Middle Child was in a Shakespeare play, "Much Ado About Nothing".

First son and his girlfriend drove from Lexington to spend the day.

This is the first time in a long while that we've been able to be with him two weekends in a row.

I am a proud "mother"!
He did a fantastic job!
I am always amazed how well he does in theater. He's always good, but the memorizing and all of the work that must be done, I can't imagine how he does it all!
It was donut time again this week. I arrived at this establishment at 6:30a.m. on Wednesday morning and loaded over 100 dozen boxes into the "momma van". The smell of fresh, warm donuts was heavenly!
I am so thankful they sell as easily as they do. Mom and Dad Burton bought 4 boxes. We froze 2 of them. They are as delicious warmed in the microwave as they are the day you pick them up from the store. YUM!
My guys!
I think they are the handsomest group of men.
I love you!

Praying a productive, praiseworthy, and perfect week for you.

XOXO

Fall is in the Air!

Happy October!
Trees are changing their colors, mums are in bright bloom and pumpkins are showing up in outdoor decorations.
AWESOME!
I have mentioned my "pagan" tree on other occasions. I thought you might enjoy seeing the transformation to fall. I truly debated buying the black feather tree, but decided I would make do with my white feather tree and add black and orange decorations.
I found the black and orange fuzzy sticks at my favorite store in the mall. I also picked up the beautiful orange and black tree topper there. The photo doesn't do the topper justice. It really is pretty. The black and orange beads came from Food City, a grocery store here in NET. The white pumpkin gourds also were found at FC.
We had a beautiful weekend.
Our oldest son and his girlfriend arrived from KY on Friday night. It was our first time to meet her and we were thrilled to be introduced. She is a beautiful and bright young lady, in her first year at UK Law School. They have a sweet relationship.

I took the opportunity to prepare a "family" meal for Saturday night.
DH and I had fun sitting at the dining room table surrounded by our children and the close friends in their lives. We had a full table and it was blessed! Mom B. was also at our table. For those of you that may not know, Dad B. has been in the hospital for the last two weeks. We ask your continued prayers on his behalf. He is anxious to come home and hopefully will be able to come tomorrow night.

Mom Burton, Darling Daughter and the very special young man in her life.

Oldest son and his beautiful friend.

Notice the UK shirts they are wearing? Our house was rocking on Saturday afternoon while the KY/AL game was on. Unfortunately the Wildcats came out on the short end of the score.

Middle son and D Hubby. It was so nice having all the kids home for the weekend.

May God Bless you this week with sweet appreciation of his incredible creation.

XOXO
