Still having fun in Oct and Nov!🍂

In October, we headed to West Virginia to the M's family house. We've been invited for years and we finally were able to make it happen!

On our way to WV, passing by Harpers Ferry. (I'll be there this weekend!)

Not sure where this was, but I got a quick pic.

This is the view from their back deck, gorgeous!

I had company while stitching, although it was only for one evening.

More views and fun!

You really need to watch where you're going there, it looks like there's trouble all over.

Can't forget the pups!

We had a great time with this wonderful family, more news to come...

Nathan was a little hesitant with the dogs, but they were such sweethearts.

Back at home, the weather had been beautiful enough to stitch outside and I enjoyed it as long as I could.

And then poof, it's Nathan's birthday and he's 16!

And he only had a tiny bit of chocolate on his mouth this year.

Lots of celebrating when you're 16!

Oct and Nov were spent with friends and also Nathan's band concert.

I had a small finish, but not fully finished yet.

Coming up next post, exciting news!
