JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

Can you believe it? Thanksgiving is in 5 days. I had a

wedding cake tasting today and since I had leftover

batter I made this 2 layer Pumpkin Cake for our

Mission's fundraiser at church tomorrow.

How do you like the stem? I made it out of fondant

and then painted it to look like it has been in the

garden.

And more orange for your viewing pleasure--check out

that sunset from a couple of nights ago. I wonder; will

the sunset be red at Christmastime?

My kitchen is pretty much finished and I'll post

pictures shortly. My husband is finishing up the

sheetrock and texture in the master bedroom

and I'll have pictures of that soon too. Can

you picture a dark red on the walls? Well,

that's what I picked out for paint. The

bottom floor in our house is just so cold

feeling that I wanted a nice warm color

on the walls. Just in case it doesn't work

out I got a nice warm beige for backup

since paint is half price right now :-)

I hate that my camera is broken. My brother

is down in Seattle and offered to take my

daughter's expensive camera down to have

it looked at since it is broken too. What

is it about the camera's in this house?!

My new hand held mixer broke too and

it was supposed to be heavy duty so I

paid extra for it. Oh, and the professional

vacuum broke too, right in the middle of

my husband sanding the sheetrock on the

walls. As a result he didn't know that it

was shooting white sheetrock dust out

the back the whole time.

{Big Sigh}

It is dark here at 4:23 pm now and dark

when we wake up.

I am a mole with a broken camera

and a dusty house.
