If i could pay someone........

Today when i was pulling in my garbage cans (and recycling bin thank you very much) I looked around my yard and thought: Go to hell. This yard is nuts. So many side yards and areas for weeds to grow wild. Now do not get me wrong my yard is great. With a awesome awning in the back and a great row of rose bushes. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, if I could pay someone to care for and landscape my yard it would really be a thing of beauty. So I got to thinkin, if you could pay someone to do something, anything what would it be? Also i would pay someone to blow out my hair every other day. Oh and a mani/pedia and massage once a week. So leave a comment, do not be shy I know you would pay someone to work you out in your sleep if it were possible.

The makings of a great Sunday

Today was a great Sunday. Here are my reasons why:

1. A little worship.
2. Great meal with some family.
3. A canyon drive to see the fall leaves.
4. Leisurely walk around my neighborhood.
5. Peeking in on Deacon in Nursery and seeing a cute well behaved fun boy.

Now tell me, what makes for a great Sunday in your book? Is it a nap and good book? What is it? Add on to my list would ya? Your the best.

Who did anything new over the summer? You did? Will you add on to my list of awesome new things I did this Summer? You will? Oh great, thanks.

This summer I (and I have never done anything on this list before)

1. hiked to Cecret Lake, so easy and so beautiful.
2. Did not have a job (for most of the summer) I have had a job in the summer since I was about 17, it was awesome.

Now do not get me wrong, I love summer. I really do. But I have had enough and these are the things I am looking forward to:

1. Soups and warm foods
2. Crisp fall air, something about it totally draws me out for cool evening and morning walks. Enough with running outside in the scorching heat.
3. Carving pumpkins, and dragging out all my fall decor.
4. Boots and sweaters, love wearing layers.
5. 30 Rock coming back on. Yesssssss.
6. Deacon is starting preschool, I know he will love it.
7. Halloween, not to dress up but to bake treats, decorate and plan a cute costume for Deacon.
8. A canyon drive to see the leaves changing.
9. Opening my window just a crack at night and felling the canyon breeze.
10. Breaking out my moccasins for my indian summer.
Now how about some add ons? Please please tell me what you love about Fall in the comments. Another thing I love about this fall is, I swear I will keep this blog updated. I have a couple lists comin your way this week and I may just beg you for a particular list. Sound great? Love. You. Fall.

10. Diet coke, ice cold. Did I already mention that?

Now let's get those lists a comin' I missed them.

Sometimes you wanna go

What is the place for you that feels like home away from home. A place you have been going for a long time. The place you cant wait to get to every summer (or winter or fall or whatever) I want to hear about it. I want to see it and I want a list about why it is so great. Here is my place:

The family Cabin in Island Park, Idaho
The best things about going there.

1. Endless amounts of eating delicious food and snacks.
2. The snake river less than a mile away, you can walk right down to it.
3. Waking up before the sun comes up and running outside, then getting back in bed.
4. Playing tons of games, careers, cards and when I was younger the best set of paper dolls ever.
5. Taking a trip into Yellowstone particularly the dollar store.
6. My great Grandmas' salt and pepper shaker collection that is displayed.
7. Being there with family.
8. My awesome Grandpa putting wifi up there.
9. Last chance gas station down the road.
10. Seeing Deacon run and play there and love every second of it.
