What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

ORANGE you glad?

I am not perfect at it, but I'm doing my best at keeping these blog posts coming. 

For the last week, I have been Frankensteins' monster, with staples in my head- and yesterday I made meals for people, delivered them hither and yon, got my staples removed (a monster, no more!) and then whisked home to make Glupper for a crowd.  It was too busy to blog- but not because I was busy holding a new grandbaby.

Pipsqueak is hanging on and so shall I, as best I can.

But today, too, there is very little time!

Costumes to make!  Pumpkins to carve!  Chili to cook!  Nacho Cheese Bugles to eat!  

There is much to be done...

With zero inspiration and even less time, in honor of Halloween, I gathered some ORANGE things in my life.

From the last bit of butternut squash soup, to picnicking with the moon on our last night of eating on the porch, to a sunset Adele' admired, to the epiphany of using crunched up lasagna instead of spaghetti noodles in chicken soup, to the oodles and oodles of BEAUTIFUL tomatoes, to Judah's first deer (!!) to saying goodbye to our monarch friend... 

orange you glad I posted?!  ;-)

I also was going to say, “wait, staples?” Do tell…you poor mama…or dare I say, grandmama!? Come on, P.S., make your appearance!

We also do an orange theme!! ;) Thank you (not) for suggesting nacho cheese bugles…my favorite…! Happy fun day to the Newman clan! Monica

PS (regular PS not Pipsqueak) I will always think about you when I eat candy corn and pumpkins. ;) Also a favorite!
