I have a big bowl of candy ready . I did have a couple chocolate kisses.  Now I must get something to eat. My son has gone and is not here to cook for me. He is a very good cook. Makes me some wonderful meals.

Last night I watched Obama and I am so glad I went early and voted. Now back to work .

Sunshine today and very cool

We have gone from 64 degrees to 46 today. Quite a change. They did predict high winds and rain yesterday. We got some rain and it quickly moved on. We have a light wind but not too bad.

I will be off to get batting and backing for a quilt. I need to get a couple boxes to mail out the Sunbonnet Sue quilt and the Overall Sam quilt.

I am tired of listening to all the political ads since I have already voted. This is the first time I ever voted early.It was so easy at the local town office.

The local town office people are so nice and have been helpful as I sold my husbands truck and got the car registration changed to my name. Even got a fellow to take me to the landfill and show me what to do. So many things for a widow to learn. The help was appreciated.

We have RAIN WIND and warm temps today 60 degrees

A Windy and Rain filled Sunday. I hate rain on Sundays. Got my Sunday paper and we are now watching the Patriots.

I have all the quilting done on Sunbonnet Sue.

Now I must get them shipped to LA.

Friday Oct. 24th 2008

Yesterday I voted early. A robo call by the former NY mayor and two pamphlets from the Maine Republican group...sent me to the local town office. I voted for OBAMA.

This year I voted with a passion. I was really upset at the awful mailings and phone calls.

I am now on facebook. My friend Beth encouraged me.

Friday Oct. 17th Sunny and cool

I have been enjoying the colorful trees in my front yard. Soon it will be bare. 

I have nearly finished the quilting on the Sunbonnet Sue. Will send the two quilts off to Louisiana. My friend Carolyn did not get up North this year. I tried to send her an e-mail and put .net  instead of .com So now I am all set and we have talked on the phone and e-mailed each other.

My son is making pizza tonight. Has a great recipe from Mary Webber's Frugal Family Kitchen Book. I have followed her on local TV when I lived in Southern Maine. Now I follow her blog.

Hope to meet her when I get down to Yarmouth.  Have a wonderful weekend. We have apples to pick and pumpkins. ENJOY !

Sunday afternoon

We have beautiful weather and the trees are really a blaze of color.

This is a picture of some tote bags I made when I first started quilting. One for me and one for my 

sister.

I may make a few again this year since we all need bags for our shopping.

Hope you all have a nice weekend.

A cloudy Thursday

We actually got up to 72 degrees yesterday and in the 40's at night. This weekend is suppose to be sunny and very nice. Great for all the leaf peepers.

I heard from my friend Carolyn. The Overall Sam and Sunbonnet Sue quilts are for her. So nice to talk to her again.

My sister invited us to her home for Thanksgiving. Holidays are still hard for me without my "Goldie". It has been a long year and a half without him. Life goes on and I am mostly happy and busy!  With good friends and family that make my life easier.

Enjoy each day.

A sunny and beautiful day here in Maine

We should be in the upper 60's .It is a blaze of color this time of the year.

My son is going home today. It has been a nice visit.

Must go to the bank and grocery shopping.

Love, to all. Alice

Good Morning from Maine

We have a beautiful day here. I have a meeting today of Methodist Women. Then the rest of the week will have temps upper 60's and sunshine. I plan to get apples and make an apple pie.

I also plan to get out and enjoy the last fall beautiful days in my screen house.

Every day is special so enjoy it. Alice

A Sunny Monday

This is a picture my son Mike took. He is much better at picture taking than I am. The trees here in this part of Maine are just beautiful.

I have both my sons with me and am enjoying the fun of having them here...lots of laughing and eating.

Due take time to enjoy the scenery  where you are today.

Today is partly sunny

Many years ago on Friday Oct 4th 1963 my Dad died in Portland. I always remember driving to Portland every day and enjoying the colorful leaves and with a sad heart knew my Dad was not going to make it.

Today My son is coming to visit. The sun is out and it should be a nice weekend.

Sunbonnet Sue and a pretty Maple tree

The Trees are starting to be colorful

I love the colors of fall. My neighborhood is looking very nice.We have sunshine after the rain.
