Staycation Day 1

This week my husband and I are both out on vacation, however it will be a staycation this week. Day one started with a trip to the eye doctor. We were both well over due. Turns out according to the doctor, I'm a reliable test taker! Due to my poor vision I get to take additional tests and pictures (referred to my husband as video games) which causes our trip to take about two hours. Next stop, Green Valley Drugs for lunch. Yes, lunch! I had never been here to eat but I had coworkers talk about going. I believe this place has been in business since the 60's. Ate the cheeseburger and fries and ate a little of my husband's chocolate malt - yummy. From, there we headed over to the Antique store in Hoover. I'm looking for either a buffet/server or a china cabinet to go in our formal living room. Saw one piece that looked neat, but didn't wow me. Not sure if it is because I have my heart set on hanging these two butterfly prints and this furniture would of been too tall. Nonetheless, I love looking at furniture and did see neat items. Final stop, Alabrew in Pelham for my husband to check out. He is looking into making homemade wine and they have the supplies needed. Looks like the starter kit is about $80. Sounds like an item to add to ones Christmas list!

Fabric Store Hopping

I have been hopping from one fabric store to another! We bought some UA pink & white fleece but had the hardest time finding a pink to match for the other side. Went back this weekend and still no such luck and they were out of more UA fleece at the location on 280. Headed over to the Hoover area to check out Jo-Ann's Fabric store for the first time. Wow, there was a ton of material! I even found the shade of pink fleece that I needed. But they had no UA material. So, we went to the Hancock's Fabric store around the corner and found what we needed. So, I am now making three UA fleece blankets to give as baby shower gifts. I hope the families really enjoy, as it was painful for an Auburn & Tennessee fans to bring that team spirit logo, aka crap, into our house!!!!

BTW, September is National Sewing Month!!!

Labor Day Weekend

No big plans for us this weekend, other than taking it easy. We grilled steaks and asparagus to go along with our baked potato. Enjoyed a nice glass of red wine too as we watch the When in Rome movie on tv.

Momma & Baby

Sunday morning, the dogs and I were sitting out on the deck. Auburn started barking and when I looked up, I saw a momma and baby deer passing through the yard. This was probably the smallest baby deer that I had seen in a long time. Wish I had my camera!

I see you

I had just let Jasmine out to potty and I sat down on the stairs connected to our deck when I noticed a deer staring at us in the backyard. I quickly coaxed Jasmine to come back inside, for had she seen it she would of chased after it. I went inside to get the camera. As I walked closer to snap a picture, we really need a zoom lens, it saw me and casually walked into the woods.

Cow

Wednesday at work we had the Chick-fil-la cow make an appearance! Passed out coupons for some free stuff. Love that!

Oneonta vs Susan Moore

Tuesday night we traveled to Oneonta for the JV football game, so we could see my niece cheer again. Got there just in time for the game. Unfortunately, I wore the wrong color shirt and thus looked like I should of been sitting on the other side of the field! We sat with Aiden & Chris for most of the game. Moved closer to get a few shots of my niece and their half time routine. So glad we could make it to the game!
