What has been keepin' me so dang busy

...so busy I haven't posted a blog for over a month.

"I'm not sure."

( think of 2 year-old Violet saying it complete with a shrug, hand gestures and a tilted head)
(Janet, your assignment... we need that expression captured on a photo.)

Here a few things that kept me busy this past month:

• Making some award winning Chili for the Ward Chili Cook-Off...I made...Karl spiced up.
• Planting my fall/winter garden
• Re-planting my fall/winter garden...obnoxious neighborhood cat.
• Sibling Reunion in Provo.
• Homecoming week alterations
• Turning a strapless mini-dress in into something of church standards,
• Re- making a complete shoulder and cap sleeve because I had the lap on the petal sleeves opposite directions (think of one of Grampa Palmer's choice phrases!)
• Watching General Conference
• Young women, Young Women, Young Women.
• Cleaned and oiled a friend's sewing machine
• A gathering of some local bluegrass bands complete with potluck dinner and lots of music...FUN.
• Doing some Fall pruning and yard clean-up
• Laundry, Laundry, Laundry
• Putting out our Fall/Halloween decoration
• Cleaned my sewing room.
  
• Yard sales with Steph...just two Saturday morning...just a couple hours...not nearly enough.
• Temple session
• Enjoying cooking again now that the weather has cooled down...I love Fall Food!
• A drive up Mt. Charleston to see the leaves...got to go again!
