What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
I have gone apple picking and I like doing that when it's not too crowded out there. I don't bake but if I did I'd make apple pie because that is the best!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely orchard time! Can't wait to see your mouth watering pics!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall, I know you love it
I thoroughly enjoy this time of year and am hoping to go to the orchard in the next week or two when it cools down (back in the mid 80's next week). I used to make this amazing apple bundt cake of my mom's that was so delicious! The hubs isn't a big dessert guy, and the cake makes a lot, so this year I decided I'm going to make a fun apple tart with a mix of Granny Smith and Pink Lady apples, and Pinata apples (for a tropical twist).
ReplyDeleteI sometimes see an ad for a "pick your own" place, but I haven't ever been able to figure out exactly were it is. Maybe this is the year. Mom has an apple tree in her yard so if I'm up there at the right time I will bring a bunch home. I love apple pie, but I love it even more if someone else makes it. My favorite thing to do with apples is to make applesauce. It's easy, a few spices and my crockpot, it make the house smell fantastic, it freezes well, and it tastes amazing.
