Fall is fast approaching. Thought it was here to stay a week ago. Scared me there for a bit. But I'm sure the stores loved it. All those people rushing in for emergency wardrobe updates and all. Not me though. I'm ahead of them. I've been wearing sweaters, particularly at work, for quite a while now...
Had a wonderful weekend though. Spent most of it with family. My favorite place to be. I love my time with them regardless of what we're doing.
I got tickets for Priss and I to see Wicked at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in October.
We're both super excited and can't wait. I love that she doesn't mind hanging out with her old mom :)
After mentioning that we were going to read the book before seeing the play, several people commented that either it was no good or they had we should skip it. I now know they were being kind. I had barely began to read it and found myself hoping I don't end up with nightmares. The song 'O be careful little eyes what you see' came immediately to mind. I'll try to be polite by saying, if I were a book critic my analysis would simply be - 'sick and twisted' - and that's being extremely kind. Looking forward to the play correcting all of that for me.
On a much lighter note, I spent Saturday morning shopping with Priss. She introduced me to a place off of Charlotte Pike, Nashville West. Marshalls and Ross were both aware we had we'd been there.
Found some great bargains and even picked up something for the old man of the house.
He loves it :)
We worked up quite an appetite and were starving! There was a Red Robin (YUMMM!) nearby. Awesome hamburger and delicious sweet potato fries. For some reason they just taste healthy.
Wish I'd had room for that Mountain High Mudd Pie :( But there's always next time...
We ended the day with an attempt to do the fire pit and smore`s. The nasty little sudden storm ran us all inside. But we found out they're pretty delicious in the oven too. Enjoyed them with a second viewing of the movie Soul Surfer. Great movie. Watch it if you haven't already.
Sunday morning was spent at Grace. Always leave feeling better than before we arrived. (www.gcomchurch.com)
Priss and the granddog came over for the afternoon. Turned out another awesome Crock Pot Girls recipe and tried a new Pumpkin Spice Cake recipe. Priss did put it together, so I suppose she gets credit for baking it. It was DELICIOUS!! Really brought home the taste of fall. Try it :)
Pumpkin Spice Cake
1 Box Spice Cake Mix
1 Can Pure Pumpkin (small can)
1/3 Cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
3 Eggs
Chopped Pecans (optional)
Mix together, spread into 9x13 lightly greased and floured dish. Bake @ 350 for 32-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool and frost with cream cheese frosting and sprinkle w/additional nuts.
DELICIOUS!!
Until next time . . . :)
