Week 43

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  Just as expected going into Halloween week the cold has hit.  It's been windy and down right chilly the past few days but that's ok because we're ready for a change and for it to actually feel like fall.

Here are last week's pictures:

Day 293- Monday, 10/19/20

Today's photo prompt was about finding a photo to embrace the past during this time of year so I chose this one taken in 2007 during this very same week in October.  They are so small, stubby and cute--now long, gangly and kind. This is the same local patch we still visit every year.  In present day, we are fighting for bathroom space and have to get creative where we brush our teeth especially at night when everyone is ready for bed around the same time.  Hopefully only a few more weeks before we get the rest of our bathrooms back.

Day 294- Tuesday, 10/20/20

Here is another picture taken for a photo prompt about something bountiful this time of year so I snapped a picture of some apples I just bought.  Tyler likes the green ones and Brandon likes the red. In the evenings we've been binge watching Schitt$ Creek which is a good comic escape from reality right now.

Day 295- Wednesday, 10/21/20

Last night was super windy and as a result our pool was filled with golden leaves that are a pretty contrast to the blue pool water.  This was not for a photo prompt just something that inspired me while I was out back.  I also tried this new version of a wine I like but can't say it tastes much different than the original.

Day 296- Thursday, 10/22/20

Tyler bought a new car today! Now that he's commuting to work it's time for a commuter car that gets better gas mileage and isn't as old as he is.  It's not brand new but is a 2019 with low miles. He's also enjoying all the high tech bells and whistles he was missing in the truck.  We've been looking at apartments too but the rent prices have really gone up like crazy so he can't afford something on his own like he was hoping for and will need to find a roommate before he can move out. At least there is no rush since we enjoy having him home--one adulting step at a time ;0)

Day 297- Friday, 10/23/20

Renovation update--the shower/tub tile in the master bath is done and they will be laying the floor tile along with installing the cabinets next week.  Also our dated, mirror, closet doors have now been remove and we're waiting for the replacements to be installed.

Day 298- Saturday, 10/24/20

Todays photo prompt was about serving up kindness and it just so happens that John was kindly making us his homemade chicken strips to serve up for dinner as the boys requested.  It so great he helps prepare some wonderful weekend meals that also create wonderful leftovers to help us get through part of the work week as well.  Much appreciated!

Day 299- Sunday, 10/25/20

Words of wisdom from Justin harvested off his Instagram.  I have no clue what he's actually referring to but I do love seeing his face especially since he rarely sends pictures anymore.  Less than a month before he's home for Thanksgiving.  Here at home, Rusty is loving the weekend vibe since he has freedom and dose not need to be locked up.  He's also feeling much better after dealing with some serious tummy problems most likely related to stress. We're all happy to see him back to his normal self and feeling cuddly too--must be the cold.

That's it for this week!  See you next week and I hope you enjoy your Halloween as safely as you can.
