Fusion: Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

No clouds here these days!  We have been having record breaking sunshine and high temps for two weeks now!  Crazy that it has been 90 degrees at the end of September!  To escape the heat I drove 100 miles up into the Adirondack Mts. last week to visit a friend who has a camp on  Lake Eaton.  We sat on her dock and chatted the day away - it was glorious.  This was the view from our Adirondack chairs....

It was a great day and I'll send her this card to say thanks......and also to tell her how much fun we are all having because she sent that three horned monster to Emma.....

I used both the sketch and the picture this week at Fusion!  Hope you play along!

Halloween Fun.....FMS307

This card was inspired by this past weekend's fall festival at a nearby farm.  We had a grand time but the weather was not fallish at all!  What is up with 90 degrees the end of September?!?!  Way too hot!

Miss E had fun and when we got home discovered a friend of mine had sent her a cuddly crocheted three horned monster for Halloween.  She loves it and declared she was naming it Horny........

and Erin and I collapsed laughing......yep just like that we were back in junior high again......

Pick Your Potion......FMS306

Well I certainly need a magic potion today to make this pesky head cold go away!  I've tried various potions over the past 24 hours and nothing has worked very well yet.  Hoping Alka Seltzer Cold medicine does the trick tonight so I can sleep. But before I mix it up I thought I would mention a few things that you probably should keep to yourself when talking to someone whose eyes and nose are running like faucets..........

1.  "Oh Emma's only lasted a couple days....she's fine."  (Kindergarten germs are deadly for Grandmas.....)

2.  "Stop blowing your nose it will get sore." (Too late....and do I really have a choice?)

3.  "Are you sure it isn't allergies?"  followed by a saga of personal allergy problems.  (At my age I'm sure but thanks for sharing.)

4.  "Amma you need to sneeze into your elbow like this!"  (Seriously who dreamed that up?  I'd need to drape my arm like a waiter at this stage.)

5.  And my personal favorite......."What's for dinner?"
