When I found myself going about my everyday business; I feel guilty. Thank you all for your kind thoughts.

But in the spirit that has been put forth for the plane, I am getting the drink cart ready. Coffee, pumpkin lattes, spiced cider, hot chocolate and mocha's. Still working on the decorations for the cart. I have some orange lights but the leaves don't look quite right. Also need to start working on the snacks. Anyone?

I'm sorry to hear of the sad news, and happy to hear mm's hubby is doing well! If someone could pass me the standard vat of coffee as I'm working nights then that would be great
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Vats of coffee coming your way smedley. I'll set the pots on grind and brew so anyone can push the button at any time A comfy pillow for your shoulder too. Pumpkin spice muffins, YES! Light crumbly cranberry scones and apple tarts are on the way. Just packed up the last of the Halloween things but I'm keeping out the fall leaves, pumpkins, etc. for Thanksgiving. We finally had a few hours of rain up here. Cooler mornings and evenings but sun shiny days.

Amazed I just watched Ellen ( the one we went to) all I can say is it made me laugh even harder knowing the antics that were going on with your hubby in back of the camera !! By the way how is Oprah? I'm sure she has a prominent in your house!!! Lol.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 LOL!

The cart is full of goodies. Smedley how was your trip? How are you feeling? iamsally, hasn't the weather been interesting this year? A little of this and that. Brrrrrr
Originally Posted By iamsally Bacon cheddar butterfly rolls?!!? I'll take 2! And a pumpkin spice latte. Very interesting weather amazed. We have been spending a good deal of time up above Willits where our son bought 22 acres. We will be in shirtsleeves during the day and bundled up by a fire at night. Peach cobbler anyone? I am whipping up a batch. (Unfortunately, the kind with real calories.)
