Happy October!



October has always been my favorite month. I suffer through the hot Mississippi summers just knowing that it's there waiting for me on the other side. I just wish my favorite month was longer than 31 days! I try to make each and every one count.

This weekend:

I purchased the obligatory pumpkins and mums to decorate the outside of the house (the black and orange kitties decorate the inside).

I attended a wonderful Oktoberfest party at my friend Lou's house (yum, German beer, bratwurst and obatzda).

At some point, I'll get started on those online Italian lessons I've been meaning to take in preparation for my upcoming trip to Venice this month.

Something tells me these 31 days are just going to fly by! Boo (hoo)!

  1. Why thanks! It was pretty "gut"! Not very much obatzda left--will have to triple the recipe next time! :-)

  2. My neighbor is having a Halloween Party. I need a costume. I am thinking MOVIE STAR. I've got a glittery long dress to wear! I just need to do my hair in waves ala the 40's and get a plastic Oscar. I love your decorations. We only have one of those tiny pumpkins - you know, the mini ones - for our Bichon Frise.

  3. Oh, Cynthia, I think you should go as a French movie star -- perhaps Marion Cotillard. From what I've seen, you could defintely pull it off. And she is an Oscar winner.
