For the second time in 2 months I have been lucky enough to work with Designer Blogs.  They are an amazing company to work with, so If you're looking for something new head on over & please tell them Pam from Screaming Mimi sent you.

My Fall Getaway

Last weekend Chris & I went to Tawas Michigan for a fall colors trip with some friends.

I'd put fall in Michigan right up there against any other fall displays in the world.  It's just beautiful.

Guess who didn't want his picture taken

The view in the morning from our first campground. We were right on Lake Huron.

Our "old faithful" motor home and our spot for the second night.

They had had a Halloween weekend going on with kids dressed up going trick or treating.  This was a hayride through the campground.

We felt terrible, since we didn't know in advance that there would be kids trick or treating, we had to hide in the motor home while they went around!

These are most boring pictures of the trip.  Wait till you see the next post.

Welcome to Flippin' Monday

I started my day with a phone call from my husband that he had been in a car accident.  A young girl rear ended him and sent him slamming into the car in front of him.

Chris is ok, but his back is hurting.  He's going to be in pain tomorrow.

Chris' bumper stuck to her car.

It doesn't look too bad in the pics, but it might be totalled.  *sigh*

The important thing was that no one is hurt, but it's still not a great start to the week!

I'll post about our awesome weekend camping trip tomorrow.

My Storage Bunker

I would call this post my pantry, but since I don't have a pantry, we keep all of our extra food supplies in the basement.  It looks like this:

Dry goods, canned goods, home canned stewed tomatoes.

Lot's of ramen stuff for the boys & back-up containers of cake mixes, muffins, & puddings for me.

Whether it's a nice, pretty pantry in your kitchen or metal shelves in the basement, do you lay in food supplies in bulk, or do you just buy as you need stuff?

i-Text-Mowing

My Jack is not much of a multi-tasker, unless it comes to mowing the lawn.  I call it i-text-mowing.

I've warned him that playing his i-Pod over the sound of the lawnmower will make him lose his hearing.  He countered by saying that by the time that happened, they would be able to replace peoples eardrums!

Here's some actual mowing...

interrupted by an obviously important text.

And finally wondering why I found him mowing the lawn picture so worthy!
