Happy Friday everyone! I am looking forward to a fun weekend.

DH won tickets to The Eagles concert in Louisville, Ky. tomorrow. He won four tickets so our nephew and his buddy from Ft. Knox are going with us!

Sunday we are going to Cincinnati to meet up with friends, and a trip to Jungle Jim's.

My idea of a perfect fall weekend!

Enjoy your perfect weekend Di! It sounds like it will be a lovely time.

I have been invited to a Sunday buffet champagne brunch at the tennis club near where we live, where I go for Pilates and so there will be many familiar faces.
I'm looking forward to the food and being able to take some photos of it all. There is a new chef there so I want to see how he is doing special event meals.

Other than that we also have our friend from Germany arriving on Sunday so I have been cleaning up the spare bedroom and tidying the rest of the house.
My Wolf is still bedridden but will be so happy to have a German speaking friend here for a visit. Luckily our weather is now sunny with shirtsleeve temperatures.

I'm looking forward to being able to get out of the house a little more when our friend is here to keep Wolf company.

Our weather this morning was 73F and clear skies:

Have a good weekend everyone!

TGIF-- more home remodeling insanity is on tap this weekend. So many choices and so little time! Sunday, we're invited to an Armenian bbq! Have to squeeze in time for my mom and to play with the DGS's too!

Sharon, I'm glad that you're able to get out and have some social time. I'm sending hugs and good wishes to you and Wolf!

Di- I know that will be a great concert and a fun shopping trip!

Clinking with my Diet Coke!

It is damp here today too, we got some flurries last evening and now it is more of a mist with it turning to rain I think by the end of the day. I will just be here doing housework stuff as we are still in the orange alert, no schools in session once again. Izzi and I are sharing my breakfast of eggs and toast. I am having hot tea. My son just called and let me know what his plans are for today. Husband is off to work, so I have the day to work around here hopefully with out too much interruption. I hope everyone keeps safe as it is icy underfoot, at least it is here. Sue in Central Indiana

Getting to a chore that I have put off too many years. Hope to finish it this next month. Finishing a tablecloth for a classmate of my son's. He found it partially done in his mother's house when he cleaned up after he death. It has proven to be a far more daunting task than I thought it would be, and my trepidation has led me to put it away too many times.

Toolbelt ( neat handle!!) I can't speak for the States but in Canada the homeless are almost always mentally ill or addicts. They resist any type of shelter provided to them. Even temporary shelter when it is bitter cold. They are paranoid and distrustful. Another large segment are runaway children that have left incredibly abusive homes. These kids are a bit easier to get to and persuade to take the help that is available. Many years ago the laws were changed so that no person could be held in any type of facility against their will. The hospitals for the mentally disabled were shut down with little or now support put in it's place. It's truly a tragic situation. Part of me says these people should be sheltered for their own well being and another part says they are entitles to live as they "choose" Anyhow, this is a real twist and turn for TGIF but perhaps a good one in that we all need to open our eyes to the unfortunate circumstances of others,

Wow. That's one nice looking Clematis Edward. Clematis season has long since passed here (except for the yet to bloom but invasive Sweet Autumn Clematis). The hybrid Clematis leaves around town look pretty bad by now from their exposure to our summer heat and various fungal diseases. Your climate sure suites that vine beautifully and again that pairing with Vertical Horizon is a great combination...........Maryl

It's been a while since we toasted a friday. Either that or I have missed the last few! LOL

I hope to get some cleaning done and some "winterizing" too! Even tho it has been unseasonably warm here lately, next week promises to get back to normal October temps.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Clinking to the great week-end you have planned, Di. Live music is always a good time. So is Jungle Jim's. I always go there when I visit my son in Cinti.

It's good to hear from you, Sharon. I've been wondering how things are progressing for Wolf. Always for the best I hope. Having visitors will be easy for you, won't it? With the house redecorated for previous visitors, there is nothing to do in preparation! LOL.

Linda, it's been a little nippy here, damp at times, and very windy. Even so, fall is my favorite season.

It is 60 degrees and sunny here on my deck. I am laying in a chase lounge getting a dose of vitamin D.

Linda, the concert sounds like a lot of fun! I looked up Jungle Jim's. I'd be so overwhelmed I'm come home with nothing!

Sharon, your weather is divine. I hope Wolf is steadily improving and will enjoy having company.

Ellen, you sound happily busy. The BBQ sounds yummy!

Linda, our weather has also been very warm. Cooler today but the AC kicked on yesterday which surprised me as it is set at 80.

Jim, fall is a good season. Spring is my favorite but fall runs a close second.

I will continue to paint and remove old floors with a heat gun. Oh joy! Alice will be home next weekend for a day with me so that will be wonderful.

Time here to pull out my sweaters and jackets, shake them out to check for spiders (Aaaaagh!) and moth holes (Raaauuugh!!)

My backyard reno is done today or tomorrow, thank goodness as I am having serious renovation fatigue. (Any new pix Ellen?) I am done with extra projects until next year. I just want to relax and enjoy some quiet time with my DH and my dog for the rest of the year. (But don't quote me on that!)

I'm going to order my first full-size Christmas tree tonight, and maybe some Halloween decorations too. I already bought Christmas lights. (I celebrate an Atheist Christmas for those of you who don't know - why should I miss out on all the fun?)

Clink everyone!

Eagles concert sounds like fun - I never did get around to seeing them, although I've been to hundreds of concerts.

Gina, we'll have to compare backyard renos - ours is close to being partially complete - the next phase will have to wait for us to save up more money, as I want to install a large fountain in the middle of the back yard and get a lot more lighting installed throughout the yard. The plantings are mostly done, however, and so I should photograph them, even though some of the plants are starting out small.

We might go to the Soul Food Festival tomorrow.

Cheers, everyone!

TGIF! I miss this weekly post... it's cool to see it this evening.

Another beautful weekend here, the weather has been wonderful for weeks but we could use some rain. I plan to wash windows and paint the front porch tomorrow morning. Then we are off to a fundraising concert to rebuild our local drive-in that burned to the ground earlier this year. It was one of the oldest in the country. After that it's the Sooners game. Sunday will be a day of R&R!

Have a great weekend everyone....Clink!

TGIF, all! I was thinking I hadn't seen a tgif for awhile, but I haven't been around much.

I'm in the last stretch of running a bond election to try and expand our libraries. I will be blithering my lips in the corner on Nov. 3.

This weekend, however I have a rare Saturday off. We just had our first frost, and more is predicted, so we are cleaning out the tomato and pepper greenhouses and digging the last of the potatoes. I'll have lots and lots of green tomatoes.

Sunday we may go to the orchards for apples and winter squash and visit the Kid....we haven't seen her new place yet.

And today I took my car in for an oil change and wound up ordering a new Subaru...whoo hoo!

Happy weekend, everyone.

TGIF to everyone! DH and I are in Bar Harbor Maine tonight. We have 5 days left on our trip and will be leaving tomorrow heading for RI and then to MA. We will spend a few days going through that area and then head home through PA. We started the trip on Monday and it's been great so far. Thanks to many of you with your great recommendations of things to do and see. The food has been fantastic and I'm sure I've gained a few pounds.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Where the heck did the summer go? This weekend will be leave blowing at the cottage as well as the annual away with the summer clothes and out with the winter garb : (

Also have a ton of leftovers to deal with so I'll be making some turkey soup, some ham and bean soup, some cauliflower soup and some stuffed cabbage and peppers.

Lovely Fall weekend so I'm sure a walk is on the docket too.

Happy weekend all!
