And one more year makes Sixteen...good grief, I'm getting old!!!

     So, it seems that I'm great at blogging Wed-Fri, and pants at blogging the other days of the week. I'll see if I can't get into more of a more daily routine. :-)

     This past Saturday, two of my Diva friends, my younger son and I went out to Penzeys spice store, lunch, and then to Buford's Farmers Market.  I love, love, love this store! 

    Food. I love food! And any store that has food from around the world, is a star store for me!!

     Strange colored bell peppers! According to Sheri, these have been grown too close to eggplants and that's what causes the neat color. I have no idea if it affects the taste. 

     So many different kinds and flavored of olive oils and other cooking oils!!

     These are different types of eggplants!! They looked so colorful and tiny! 

     Tuesday was Shae's birthday. (My younger son.)  He has turned sixteen. 

   16!! 

   Sixteen. 

     Cripes. I feel old when I think of that. He is studying the drivers ed book so that he can take his learners test and get a learners drivers license. And that makes me feel even older! I think I need some coffee, now. 

     His dad had sent his gifts, so I wrapped them up when I wrapped the one we had gotten him.  

     The Nightmare Before Christmas is kinda big in my house. At least it is with Shae and I. :-)

     I make a cookie-brownie creation for his "cake". We decided that his piece kinda looked like Oggie Boogie. It was also decided that Oggie Boogie Christmas Brownie-Cookies will become a thing this coming holidays. And I can't wait! I love fall!! It can not come soon enough!

     And here is Shae, trying to decide just which game to play first. LOL he is such a stinking ham! I love this kid! Even when he is being a substantial pain in the butt!!  Teenagers. 

     Will we ever really understand what each generation is going through? I'm in my 40's. Can you just imagine going to school with the technology that our kids are using? The phones? The tablets? 

Well, I'm still working on my two shawls. They are coming along so well. I love the feel of these yarns!

     This is the Noro yarn. It's so thick and scrunchy!!

     This is the Malbrigo yarn. It's so fine and soft and fluffy!

     And this? This is my newest garb project. I need a supportive under garment that will give me comfortable support, and not give me too modern a silhouette.  For this, I've gathered up some scrap patterning fabric, and an old bra to use for a somewhat guide. This will be a fly-be-the-seat-of-my-pants sewing exercise!

    Stay tuned for the, um, fun! LOL
