"Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is." (Bullet Bob Feller)
Hello, my lovely friends!
Can you believe it? The holiday blogs are this week? It feels like just yesterday we were sweltering in 90-degree heat. But hey, that means it's officially Fall! Let's dive into some cozy autumnal vibes before the holiday cheer takes over.
1. One autumn, during my high school days, I thought it would be totally cool to rock a set of fake nails. Little did I know, that decision would lead to a hilarious backyard adventure. My dad was busy raking leaves, and being the helpful daughter I am, I offered to lend a hand. As I was stuffing leaves into trash bags, a tiny, unexpected drama unfolded. One of my fabulous press-on nails had decided to take a break from my fingers and go on a leaf-filled vacation. I had to do a mini-dig to find it, but I finally did.
2. Fall meant cozy nights, warm blankets, and a whole new lineup of comfort foods. My mom would whip up steaming bowls of Cream of Wheat, hearty chicken soup, and spice tea. To this day, those chilly-weather favorites are still reserved for autumn, bringing back all the nostalgia of childhood.
3. Back in the day, we’d load up the car with a cooler full of snacks and drinks and hit the road. The four of us would spend the day exploring the mountains, watching the Aspens transform into a vibrant tapestry of color. We’d wander through quaint mountain towns, browsing shops and grabbing a bite to eat. It had been ages since we’d done this, but just before my Dad and Bella passed, we took one last trip to soak up the autumnal beauty. I’m so glad we made those memories together.
4. There's nothing quite like the feeling of slipping into my summer jammies on a cold night, snuggled under a cozy blanket of flannel sheets. It's the perfect combination of warmth and comfort.
5. Nothing beats a steaming bowl of Menudo on a chilly day! This hearty Mexican soup, packed with tripe and hominy, is a comfort food classic. Some even swear by it as a hangover cure, but I love it just for its rich, satisfying flavor. It takes a little time to prepare, but trust me, it's worth every minute.
6. My first hayride was an adventure. I went with friends, had a blast, discovered allergies, and missed out on s'mores. Still, it was a memorable experience.
So glad you could stop by! Wishing you a splendid rest of your day/evening/morning,
wherever you may be. Until next time! Adios...
