Oh Fall, where did you go, etc.?:)

1. I am upset that summer has us in it's grip here in NC:( The high today was 85, with sweltering humidity:( Fall is my favorite time of year, yet warm weather is stealing autumn!!

2. I have worked 3 days in a row this week, & 2 of those were subbing as manager. Let me go on record: I do not prefer to be in charge.

3. The WIC Retreat in Blowing Rock last weekend did "rock":) So anointed! The Lord lavished us with His Presence:)

4. Skye graced us with a short visit last week/weekend:) I wish she would have stayed longer, but know she's carving out her own place. Tough for me.

5. Love working during the holidays:) Our store was decorated for Christmas last Thursday, & it's wonderful to look at the pretty decorations & hear some of the Christmas songs:) Next week I begin putting out Christmas cards--a HARD job, yet enjoyable.

6. Unexpectedly I have off tomorrow:) A gift. I am feeling so wiped out this week. And I need some quality time with my Care Receiver!! So we're meeting for lunch at Panera's:)

7. Unhappy about working all through Thanksgiving (except Thanksgiving Day) weekend, but my DEAR DIL has volunteered to host our lunch gathering--that's so sweet! That helps:)

8. The McFarlands would prefer not to exchange Christmas gifts anymore; I think I'm ok with that. And I think my sister's family probably would like to drop that tradition also. Paring down is a good thing. It's taken me years to concede that:)

9. I love my Peace Bible Study sisters:) I simply love them:) My encouragers.

10. Wyatt had a bath today. He's much more lovable when he's clean & smells less "houndy":) He's my bud:)

11. Love my new Kindle! Reading "Same Kind Of Different As Me" again. It's just as good as the first time, maybe better!!

12. 9 days till Keith & I fly to Boston. I'm excited:) A long weekend in the Northeast, with our friend Janie:) Whoa!

13. Oswald Chambers & C.S. Lewis are heroes of mine--2 of those in the Heavenly Hosts who are cheering me on:) Isn't that a good thought?
And, my mama & daddy are cheering too--encouraging my brothers & sister & me at the same time:)
Wow:)

October

Oak Island

Last Friday Keith & I packed up & traveled east to Oak Island to visit friends Judy & JE:) If you're a Whisper Space follower, you'll know we've done this for the last 3 years:)

October on Oak Island is simply a pleasure:) 
Biking around the streets & along the ocean in cool fall weather is hard to beat. Add to that catching up with old friends (Judy & I have known each other all our lives) & it's extremely nice. Add to that Judy's hospitality & cooking, & it's superb!

Icing on the cake--October beach/sound sunsets:)
Bless you, J & JE, for another memorable weekend:)
