I love you so so much! I decided to take some pictures of my 'fall' display on my dining room table before I send you the pictures of the kitchen. I keep telling you about the kitchen (and it really is nice) but I sorta want it to be "all the way done" before I take pictures of it!
So, I went to Hobby Lobby and a few other places last week and made a beautiful autumn table-scape - I really like it!
I actually have that table cloth in TWO sizes (this is the bigger one because the leaf is in the new table) because we really like how it goes with the room color. Grampa likes keeping the leaf in the table, but I like the table smaller especially since there are only 2 of us home right now! One day a week, Uncle Brother eats dinner with us, but he fits at the table when it's small anyhow!
So, I got that tiny hay bale because I thought it would look cool - - and it does, but you know what? Hay bales are MESSY!!! It sheds little pieces of hay all the time - ugh! but it is cute there, so I'm keeping it for now! The yellow and orange daisies were from Wegman's - and see the 2 yellow roses at the bottom? The were left from 6 yellow roses that Rachel got us when we came home from Germany. (they died a couple days later and I had to throw them away). The bowl of candy corn isn't lasting very long either . . . I got some for you, too! I sent you a fall package last Thursday (October 3rd) so it should get to you some time this week! Hopefully before mommy and daddy go on their trip, or you won't see it till next week.
Right now it is raining really hard, but it was funny because when I woke up it was bright and sunny out! Bright and sunny lasted for about an hour and then it got windy for an hour or so and the clouds rolled in! The rain started about 10:00 and it's been raining REALLY hard for almost 2 hours! Weather is funny.
I love you - and I'll talk to you again soon!
love,
Gigi
