November Musings
It's time again for Tuesday 4, held in memory of Toni Taddeo, its founder and previous host. Thank you so much for joining in and helping to keep this alive. It is much appreciated.
It's Autumn and temperatures in many places will be going down, days will be shorter, and leaves will be tumbling down.
1. What kind of weather and temperatures make you feel most comfortable, most healthy? Winters here in Florida are the best!! Highs in the low 80s and no humidity!
2. Do you like the colors associated with Autumn? Clothing-wise wise do they look good on you? Warm colors are always nice, but I prefer deeper gem-tones.
3. Would you rather:…
- … get lost in a corn maze or go on a hayride? hayride
- … visit an apple orchard or a pumpkin patch? orchard
- … eat a caramel apple or a candy apple? caramel
- … have some cinnamon buns or Pumpkin muffins? cinnamon

My refrigerator can be fixed for more than I hoped, but still less than it could have been. The part has been ordered, and the repair is scheduled for next Monday. It is working, and he showed me a trick to use if it starts warming again. It is about 16 years old, and he said it is one of "the best" Kenmore refrigerators. Like a Timex, it should keep on ticking!
Here are the "after" photos of my driveway. "Before" pictures were posted yesterday.
My back door...
I also want to mention that I just learned that my old friend, Cindee, passed away last month. Her memorial service will be on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. My long-time followers will recognize her name. We worked together at the Museum, and six of us got together for lunch every month. I still lunch with Shirley each month. Melody died, Terry moved to Georgia, Heather moved to Virginia, and Cindee and her husband moved down to Palmetto to be closer to their kids. She battled Parkinson's Disease for over 10 years. Her daughter called to let me know. I'm just documenting it here because this is my 'journal' and life events are all posted here. This photo is from 2014, one of the last times we were all together. Cindee is in the pink sweater.
Proverbs 27:9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice.
Your driveway looks lovely. Terri, I am so sorry about your friend's passing. Praying for you and for Cindee's family.
ReplyDeleteThe driveway looks very nice, I believe we had the same epoxy when we lived in Tuscaloosa. I am so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI miss those Florida winters! I've still not acclimated to snow and ice here in TN.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences at the loss of your friend Cindee.
I'm so sorry your lost your friend. That's another cruel disease that too many people suffer from. I want to say thank you for your prayers for us now. It's a hard time. Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI would answer each of those questions just like you. (We have good taste!) :)
ReplyDeleteThe driveway looks so good!
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Cindee. I do remember you blogging about her. Parkinsons is a cruel disease.
Your winter weather sounds a lot like our summer weather. lol
ReplyDeleteWow! I did not know there is 7500 varieties of apple! You learn something new everyday.
I am glad your refrigerator is fixable and that is good you have a short term fix if it warms again.
Your driveway looks fab, it does look much cleaner.
I am so sorry about your friend.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Terri. Yes, I remember Cindee from your prior posts -- imagine what a super reunion she's enjoying with Melody.
ReplyDeleteYour new driveway looks wonderful, and the confetti sprinkles are a hoot!
Myra, I actually said I hope she and Melody found each other for a Heavenly hug! xo
DeleteI am sorry about your friend Cindee's passing.
ReplyDeleteI do love your driveway - awesome!
So sorry to hear about your friend. Your driveway looks beautiful! And I love those steps. And I would always choose cinnamon buns, always!
ReplyDeleteThe driveway looks so nice. I know you are going to love the new look. Isn't it funny how the oldest things are the best. My daughter's washing machine broke recently. She let her dad go shopping at the stores with old ones that had been refurbished. She has an old Kenmore with an agitator and loving it. I am jealous:)
ReplyDeleteOh to watch our friends pass away. Not too much fun.
First, I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. It is awesome to work with people you enjoy spending time with. Second, it always amazing me how the older appliances were built to last and today's appliances not so much. Your driveway looks beautiful! Do you have to have it repainted every year or does it last for several years?
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that the autumn season is a huge relief after the heat of summer. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your friend Cindee. Your driveway and steps etc look great!
