Fall Tablescape From Susan of Between Naps On The Porch

If you don't follow Susan's blog, you should! She creates these "tablescapes"
and they are truly works of art. Her porch is beautiful, too. She has some
historic house tours and napkin folding tutorials and other neat stuff on her blog.
Here's the tablescape she did for the 1st day of Autumn:

So Very Pretty!

I'm Back (sort of)

I seem to have caught a virus after being at the hospital last Thursday evening for an
MRI on the cervical and lumbar areas of my spine. Every time we go to the hospital it seems we catch something. Yuk! Mr. Glen Oaks has been feeding me soup and Pepto Bismol.
At least whatever this is waited until today, his mom left on Friday. So I'll just be taking it easy for a couple more days.
Goodnight for now...

It's so hot here like so many places are right now. Mr. Glen Oaks got heat stroke today doing a countertop job.
He was cutting these long sheets to custom lengths and it had to be done outside. He got in around 6:30 p.m. last night and was beat. The day before he was doing some work at my daughter's house and he and my son-in-law were changing out the kitchen sink and SIL let go
and hubby thought it was going to land on the new counter, so he lunged for it and SIL try to grab it and the corner cut hubby's right cheek. So trooper that he is, he cut some electrical tape and made a butterfly bandage and put his cheek back together. Ashley was at work and Tim couldn't find anything for the cut, plus he was freaking out a little bit.
When we went to the E.R. later on, the nurses couldn't get over the makeshift bandaid and
people kept coming into the room to look at it. Because it was a facial cut they didn't stitch it so that there would be very slight scarring, they used DermaBond. It's sort of a
crazy glue for skin. Cleaned it, glued it, and we were out of there in less than 1 hour.
When we arrived home, sister and B.I.L. were already here from Indiana. We hugged, talked and talked, and had dinner at 9 p.m. They stayed until after midnight. We opened gifts that sister brought with them and looked at pictures. It was great.
Tomorrow is Christmas here (well, sort of) when we open our decorations she bought us.
Stay cool, Primmies
Susan
