A Little Mix-up

Usually I try to post up images in categories but today it's a bit of a mash-up. Partly because instead of just posting all the images from my old site, I'm trying to create new ones. Normally I have lots of time for this kind of thing but at the moment, I've got 3 new sites to update (one for my husband), and all of them need images, even if they are different sites.

You can't just use a bunch of the same images on each site, so that's taking time. Plus, it's close to the end of October, and nearly time to start the Christmas baking (I usually start early November and bake almost daily right up til Christmas).

Anyway, in no particular order, here's a batch of images you can use.

Happy Halloween ... Just a Little Early

The first thing I've got today is a little Halloween graphic you can use on your site, or your FB page even in your email if you want.

And the next is a life-thought. So many people waste time. Some say all we have is time, but the truth is, nobody really knows how much time they have.

Thanksgiving and Halloween

Are you ready? I'm not. We're never ready for holidays any more. I used to be a lot more organized when it came to holiday times, but the older I get, the less important it is to do all the decorating and gearing up.

We used to "do" Halloween to "the nines" when my children and grandchildren were small, but not so much anymore. We get all the goodies to hand out, but there's very little in the way of decorating. A jack-lantern here and there but that's about the extent of it.

The same for Thanksgiving. Sometimes I'll have a bunch of small fall gourds in a big wooden bowl, and there's usually a small outdoor wreath, and uncut pumpkins outside on the porch, and in the front entryway of the house two fall floral arrangements. That's pretty much it.

Since our kids married and started their own families (families who are now grown up - the grandbabies are all between 18 and 20!) the only holiday I really take time to decorate for is Christmas. For most of the other holidays our small family is somewhat split up and it's rare for all of them to be here for Thanksgiving.

That happens to be the big racing weekend in our area (usually in Peterborough - "Fall Colours") to end the official race season and sometimes one or both of our kids families are at the races, leaving us to do our own thing.
