Can't have enough red shoes….man I love Zappos. 

I am so going to be finished with my wrap cardi before I go. DH will be away for a good part of the weekend so there will be none of the usual guilt where I put down my needles and look like I'm weeding the front beds. Nope, Friday I will be sitting in front of the tube watching the Presidential debate. I imagine there will be a lot of knitting and yelling at the television. Hmmm… flash forward 30+ years… I imagine there will be a lot of knitting and yelling at the television.

Oh, Amanda  I met Willard while checking in on CJ and had to order a couple prints for my guest room which is taking on a bit of a woodland theme…hmmm

I know the temperature is about 90º today but I am determined to begin fall today with the rest of you. I love fall, or more accurrately, I love October… which is right around the corner.

Today, I am working from home. I have a pot roast in the crock pot and I'm working on this…

After much thought and consideration, we finally decided to give No Bark Collar a try with Callie Jo. She's a Catahoula and will tree a squirrel and bark at it for 7 hours… and is undeterred. We finally came to the conclusion that it was more humane than letting her get shot by a neighbor ( We o live in small town Texas. Yesterday she was very surprised… today she is just staring at squirrels.

Here she is napping and waiting for pot roast.
