Ryan and I went to the Festival in the Pines yesterday and I bought way too much. Here's my cute angel for the door. She only ran about $13. I got two pair of soft faux-angora mittens (I haven't found mittens like that since my g'ma died) and some potpourri for fall and Christmas. That was the extent of it but what I really wanted were some paintings by one of the artists there, they were incredible!

Ryan loves festivals, and so do I. He found a print of a painting of the northern lights that he fell in love with. His g'ma bought it for him so he's been gazing at that lovingly. He's so visual it's hard to turn him down.

I'm turning over a new leaf ... We're walking every single day. I changed up my work schedule and my respite schedule to accommodate the exercise. It HAS to happen. I didn't walk three days last week and I'm still paying the price with stiffness and soreness. Not happening again.

I'm off to church, then grocery shopping. Blech! That's money down the toilet ... literally! Have a great day and may God's angels watch over you and yours,

Much love and joy,

Karen
