I guess it is because I'm an Autumn Baby. My birthday is the 14th of this month. We celebrated Autumn by going up north and visiting my son Patrick, his wife Courtney and my granddaughter Ashley.
I always like to take up gifts when we go to visit. I took Ashley a container of cake mix to make 3-2-1 Micro wave cakes.
This is what I took up to Courtney.
Ashley and I hung it on the table quilt hanger I got Courtney last Christmas. She was so surprised.
I've got lots of pictures to show you from up north but first I want to show you a few projects I've worked on since we got back.
These are a sew of the Japanese X block swap I belong to. These are October blocks.
These are the next installment of blocks for Joined at the Hip BOM.
Now for some up north pictures.
Patrick got a dog a few months back. Roxie is a Red Fox Lab. She's 8 months old and loves to play. She thought Sammie was a new chew toy. They had lots of fun playing together although Roxie backed her into a corner a few times.
The first two day's in Marquette it was sunny but windy. The rest of the time it rained. Luckily I got some pictures with the sun shining.
Lots of color up there, and as you can see a lot of trees have lost all their leaves. It was really beautiful.
We went to a little park down by the lake. This is a special place for me. My Mom and I would go there on picnics when ever we would go to Marquette for our day out.
I just love it when the waves are crashing on the beach. It is such a beautiful spot.
Standing on the beach you could see the Marquette Lighthouse.
Thanks for sticking around to see all my pictures. We were only gone 5 days but it felt like a month. On our way home we stopped at a rest area for one of Sammie's many potty stops. Couldn't resist taking a picture of these.
The neatest group of mushrooms. I've only seen mushrooms like this one other time when I was living with my Dad.
I hope you are enjoying a truly wonderful Autumn. Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs, Cathy
