Friday was an exciting day!
Louis Dean and I dressed up like Twinkies for Harrison's first leveling game for the Brahmas!
Purple is the color and I had fun dressing up in support of him and his team!
Just so you know.....overalls are really comfy!
It was fun to have Summer with us.
My two dear daughters!
That was Friday and we came home and watched The Thursday Murder Club.
At least Summer and I did and it was wonderful!
My two daughters love movies as much as I do.
Saturday was watching Trystan play hockey!
Her team color is green and I dressed in several shades of that!
From hat to eye shadow to top and jacket and pants.
When I walked in, Harrison told his mom, "Look! MeeMaw looks like a cute pickle."
And so I did!
So good to see my children together!
My beautiful Logan always reminds me of Mona Lisa.
The following photos are from Mike at Trystan's earlier game.
What a great photo Mike took!
Look at her concentration!
Trystan worked hard for her green helmet as a Dallas Stars Elite Girls!!
But the game we watched on Saturday was beyond exciting! They won 2-0 but what an energetic game. SO many penalities on the opposing team and even a fight on the ice and several misconducts plus four ejections. SO exciting! Our girls aere 14 Under and they played a team of 16 Under
It took awhile to calm down and chill out after all that excitement.
Saturday night closed with a good book and a good glass of red wine.
Life is good and I am blessed.
Look who was up before daylight to watch the 7:15 AM game of Trystan of the Dallas Stars Elite vs Warriors in Mansfield.
That's true love from Uncle Jesse and Rachel.
Love how our family supports one another.
I do declare that filling medicine boxes is a challenging business.
We get 90 day refills but the thing is that on the third month - some meds aren't ready to refill and I get confused. I need all my wits about me to deal with this.
I do wish I was sharper than I am. In time to come I may use a service that fills our boxes for us.
Jesse and Summer - my two oldest children and both are blessings to my heart.
I do so love them both!
And here is Jesse with his beautiful brown-eyed girl, Rachel!
They are so cute!
It was a great afternoon.
Jesse installed a ceiling fan in the guest room for me.
I ordered it thinking it was bigger than it was.
Turned out it was a tiny fan and perfect for the guest room since there's the bunk bed in there.
Jesse helped me order a real fan for our bedroom and it will arrive tomorrow.
It was such a blessing to visit with Jesse, Rachel and Summer!
Louis Dean helped me prepare the fruitcake cookie dough for tomorrow morning.
Instead of using two tablespoons of milk - I use Captain Morgan's spiced rum....in memory of my dear sister Nita. That was a favorite of hers.
Louis Dean had shelled pecans from last year's harvest which we had kept in the freezer and he sorted through them for hulls and such before we added them to the fruitcake mixture.
The coffee is ready and the CD player is primed.
I know it's a little crazy that I love September First so much - but I do!!!
And I hope I always will!
Happy September's Eve!!

Your favorite day of the entire year! I love it too, and will be putting out our fall flags today. The Hockey photos are gorgeous! Beautifully clear action shots. The T-Shirt you are wearing is very interesting...what it says on the front. I have not seen one like that.
Re the medications: I too had trouble and finally sat down and typed a list - looks something like
AM: Aspirin, etc.
NOON:
PM:
I will even make notes such as "move around after taking this", etc. I date this list and keep it on my laptop. As my medications change, it is easy to update the list and print out a new copy. I keep the list with the basket of my pills on a cupboard shelf where grandkids can't touch it. Just a suggestion
Sounds like a lot of fun with family. How great to see Trystan play. She looks like a real pro out there on the ice.
Love that 1st picture of you and LD...Linda you look great in those glasses!!!
You and Louis Dean matching in your overalls is the cutest thing ever! The hockey games sound exciting! Lots of fun family time. That’s the best!
I always think of you on September 1st Linda....have a blessed day.
You two look so cute in your overalls!
I plan to watch The Thursday Murder Club soon.
So nice to see the family--any time they can get together.
Fall is my favorite time of year! :)
linda, is there a way to find your previous recipes on your blog? i have written down a lot of them over the years , but not all. Now l am wondering about your version of pepper poppers.
🎶 🎵 Merry September Morning!!🎶 🎵 . I always think of you on this day!!

if there is a Twinkie Award for Most Adorable, the two of you would win it, I have never tried overalls on so don't know if I would like them. the photos of Trystan are amazing and show that she is a professional hockey player... some day when she is famous, those photos will be priceless.
all your children always smile JUST LIKE YOU.. you did a super duper job of raising your kids to wonderful adults. Enjoy your day today, I know its the beginning of your FUN....
I am so excited about fall this year too. I did not know you had a son Jesse. How many children do you have? The Thursday Murder Club - we watched that - I thought it was okay - but not great. Enjoyed your post.
So many happy pictures. Love the top one of you and Louis Dean in your overalls, and the one of you with Summer and Jesse, and that very professional looking hockey one of Trystan. And the one where Harrison said you look like a cute green pickle gave me a big smile.
Loved all the pictures --- Jesse and Rachel are so cute together.
Hard to believe it's time to make the fruitcake cookies again! It's a tradition I hope you always keep.
Louis Dean is looking good ---your care for him is excellent!
As always, I just have so much admiration for you, my dear Linda! Love, Trudy
Forgot to wish you "HAPPY SEPTEMBER"!
Y'all are just so (as my grandson would say) Datgum cute. Any time there is family involved and photos with lots of beautiful smiles, then you know there is happiness and a good life. Happy September Linda.
