Weather , Groceries, & Cuties....

  Saturday's heavy rain.  Rained the whole day. Some times very heavy downpours.
  Like in this picture out the dining room window...could not see past the backyard.
    We had this hard frost one day.
     All the leaves are off our trees , except the willow.
   The Kokomo firetruck at the Kroger grocery . I saw the firemen coming out of the store and I asked if they were going to cook lunch. Bless their hearts, one said , "yes, we are grilling out today. " :)  Love those fellows.
  Tonight's sunset. It was a sunny day with blue skies. It got to 52 degrees...but stayed cold all day. I think it was the steady wind , that made it cold.
   I like to send Karen a photo of our pretty sunsets and she will send me one from her yard. :)
  Look at Luke, he is sitting up by himself.  He is going on 7 months...so I guess it's time. LOL.
 This is Luke's cousin ,Leo.  He is growing already . Looks so sweet. I can not wait to meet him in person.  Babies are so adorable. I hope they know they are loved.
  Did everyone get all they need for their Thanksgiving dinners? I went to three grocery stores today. I have never been to that many in one day. Crazy. !!  We got Ted's meds at one ,along with a big supply of coffee and peanuts. LOL. Then to the Kroger for a great deal on ham and little oranges. Then to Tipton's Needler's (Marsh)  for the rest of our groceries.   We ate lunch  at D.Q. while in town here, before going to our grocery. :)
  Wishing all a great rest of the week. XO

  5. Went grocery shopping after seeing the doctor. I think I got everything I need, but I'm sure something I need will pop up-probably Thursday morning!

  6. I got my turkey, etc. yesterday. We are doing Thanksgiving on Wed night here at our house so that we can have everyone here.

    Mindy took pictures of their street the day you had all that rain. It was about 12" deep and the kids were riding their bicycles in there and it was way up almost over their wheels.

    Have a great night- xo Diana

  7. Luke is sitting up all by himself, oh my! Hello baby Leo - how sweet you are. Susie, your sunset pictures are sensational! The skies look like angel wings. The frost on your lawn is pretty. Wow, your trees are bare already! We still have many colorful leaves on ours, but I've noticed they are falling fast and will be bare soon.

    Happy Thanksgiving, Susie. I'm so thankful for having such a wonderful blog friend in you.

    love, ~Sheri

    1. Karen, I have yet to meet Leo, as he lives in Ohio. I think with this season of colds and coughs it may be wise to keep babies home safe. We certainly have to worry about that with Luke's cystic fibrosis. Do you think our weather patterns have changed thru the years? I am amazed that a 35 degree day can feel warmer than 50. LOL. Sending hugs to you for this Thanksgiving weekend. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    1. Betsy, That is one reason I like for the crops to be in...I can see so far away. With my binoculars I can see the traffic moving on hwy. 28 , that is 3 miles away. Thank you for the hugs and blessings, you know I'm sending you the very same. Blessings to you and your sweetie, xoxo, Susie

    1. Pilar, That is so sweet of you to be helping your mother with Thanksgiving dinner plans and the work. I know you will have a great time. Hug your mother tight and be thankful for her love.:):) I miss my mommy. I will be holding my daughters and their children close also. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  13. What weather you have! Cold, rain, sunny, blue skies and even fog and frost! I do love weather! We don’t seem to have the many varieties you get! Still, I’m sitting up in bed with the door open to the patio and can see the blue sky and hear the birds. I may need to tell Mr. McGregor I can also hear the squirrels over by the gazebo!

    Louis Dean is cooking the Thanksgiving ham today while I continue to clean house. Tomorrow he makes the dinner rolls!

    Love seeing your Little Luke!
    Happy Thanksgiving to you, Sweet Susie Q! And to your Teddy Bear!

    1. Linda, I am amazed at the crazy flip flop of our weather this fall. Either above average in temps or below. Nothing normal.
      I know you are going to have a great family Thanksgiving. Lots of love and good foods. Me too. :):) I will get to hold babies hopefully. Blessings and love to all, xoxo, Susie

    1. Thank you Debbie, I think the boys are cutie pies too. I hope you are doing well and planning a great Thanksgiving day with your loved ones. I am not sure where you are in the mountains, but I thought N.Y. was maybe going to have some snow. Stay safe and warm. Blessings to you honey, xoxo, Susie

    1. Sweet June, I saw your new blog of garden photos while I was looking on Horton's blog. You always had the magic green thumb. :):) We have three great grandsons and one great granddaughter. Love each one so much. Please give Landon a big hug for me . I hope you get to be with your family this holiday. Blessings and Love, xoxo, Susie

  17. Oh my goodness..you did get a lot of rain. We had it hear too..as soon as I had the downspout removed. Dahh It should be overwith by now. Your sunset photo are gorgeous! Love those babies..you just want to pick them up and give them lots of hugs.. Sounds like you had a busy day shopping. But nice to eat out isn't it? I miss those times. I will be going to my DIL's mothers for Thanksgiving. I had bought a pie from Perkins as a fundraiser for my neighbors daughter. So, I know that will be good. Might make a salad too.

    Blessings

    Happy Thanksgiving!!

    1. Gert, We love all our babies, don't we? I am hoping you have a beautiful thanksgiving with your family. Some times it's nice to eat out, nothing fancy just a sandwich and fries. I know your Perkins pie will be delicious. There's a Perkins south of our town . Blessings to you my sweet friend, I think of our loved who have passed on and miss them so much, especially here at this holiday. xoxo,love, Susie

Wow, those are pretty sunset pictures and oh my goodness that FROST LOOKS SO COLD YET SO PRETTY AND "glisteny"--is glisteny a word? ha ha LOL I like the rain pictures too--I do love rainy days and fog too, as long as I am NOT CAUGHT OUT DRIVING IN IT. Sounds like you got all your grocery-ing done and ready for the holiday. I am so ready to eat turkey and mashed "taters"!!

  20. Such sweet little ones! So fun that Luke is sitting up. Must be a relief for him too. :-) It's been cold here too, although I'm so thankful that we don't have snow on the ground yet. Have a good thanksgiving, Susie!

    1. Judy, I love babies so much. I love seeing them learn something and know they learned it. Their faces light up. Yes, I too am happy no snow...but we have been lucky this week too. The sun shined today and suppose to tomorrow. Wishing you a happy thanksgiving day. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  21. Oh Susie, your babies are so sweet! Luke is certainly growing up quickly and I'm pretty sure all your babies know they are loved. I wish we could have a rain like you've had. Sunsets are my favorite pics, but now that Fall has come, I can't see the sunsets out my window anymore. My view is limited because of houses in the neighborhood.
    I bet you are busy today getting ready for tomorrow. I hope your Thanksgiving is everything you want it to be!
    And finally, I have a special place in my heart for the firefighters!

  23. I went to the grocery store on MOnday to get what I needed and it was a mess and they were out of TURKEYS! Ever since Marsh closed here, Kroger cannot keep up. That rain...I drove in that all the way to Merriville! It was awful. Are you going to Horton's on Dec. 2? I hope to go and also Patti Beck's open house is that day. You should try to go to it. Chat later girl! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Thanks for the prayers. XOX!
