A day in the fall

Today was busy.  Little Lauren has a cough that won't quit, so she stayed home from church with Craig.  Anna Joy went to church with me and seemed to have a really great time.  I went to Sunday School and Casual Worship.  Then, home for leftover roast beef and salad.  I also made some sauteed mushrooms and roasted cauliflower.  This new "diet" is tough on this veggie disliking momma!  Then, my Mom came over.  Lauren just LOVES her!  She yelled "MeMaw!" as soon as she heard her and then came barreling out for a hug!  Mom just eats it up!  Mom and I then drove to Plain Dealing for the Walker Bros. Drug Store open house.  We saw many friends and neighbors.  What a treat!  I also found a really cute and inexpensive elf for my "Elf on the Shelf" plans.  Now I just have to get it together.  


I have much planned for the next few weeks.  Thanksgiving, Anna's 4th birthday, Christmas dance gala, the church musical-Gloria, hosting the kids of my Sunday School class members at our home during the class party and then Christmas.  That just makes me tired to think about it.  I think I'm trying to stay busy, maybe busier than usual.  I am still so sad about Melody.
