It has been quite chilly here in north Florida. Even the snowman thinks its cold.
These are ornaments on my tea tree. It is covered with all things related to tea parties and pretty girlie things.
The Tea Party
I had a little tea party this afternoon at three.
'Twas very small,three guests in all,
Just I, myself and me.
Myself ate up the sandwiches,
While I drank up the tea.
'Twas also I who ate the pie,
And passed the cake to me.
Do not know who wrote this but it sure is cute.
On Tuesday before Thanksgiving Steve started up the smoker to make us all a smoked pork butt for Wednesday night when Stevie and his family arrived.
It was smoking all day and let me tell you it was delicious.
Just so all our south Florida friends know we do get the changing of the leaves.
That is Molly in the pink collar with all her brothers and sisters.
Notice how sweet Molly is when she is sleeping.
This is the first day that Molly came to live with Edward. Festus thinks he is so big.
Molly is 11 weeks old in this picture.
This is Molly when she was 4 months old.
I have been trying to get a moon shot for the past three months and had to go to Tampa to get this photo. We have way too many trees in our yard to get a good shot.
This morning it was quite cold, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw all my white angel trumpets in bloom.
Can you hear the trumpets? Hallelujah, Hallelujah. You must hum this to the Messiah by Handel to get the right effect. 
This week we went to Tampa to see our grand daughter and son. Boy was the traffic something. Notice how the roads are so crowded.
Of course you can always expect some clown to just hog the highway.
Here is our granddaughter just ignoring the camera. What a crazy grandma!
Ok so I will look just this one time. 
This is the original Opera House built in 1895. It is now the newly renovated Great Outdoors Restaurant and has maintained the oppulance of that period. This past Friday Steve and I attend the Murder Medium Rare show which was a dinner and murder mystery. We had a great time and many of our new friends attended the show and were cast members. 
Oh the excitement of going to the fair when you were little. I remember going to the fair in Tallahassee every year. You know the fair really has not changed that much. There are still the barkers, the games of chance and plenty of stuffed animals to win.
The Ferris wheel still looks the same. 
And there is always somebodies old tractor on display. 
I just love the livestock. The pigs are one of my favorites.
That was then and this is now. What vivid colors and some creepy figures. 
Festus wanted to show his dad how much of a role model he has been in his life. Festus says that when he grows up he wants to be a policeman. I think he has the perfect body for the uniform. He has his own gun and handcuffs. Once he had on the costume he did not move. I guess that is part of the stealth act.
Samantha came to visit on Thursday to show us her new shoes.
Perfect for an afternoon stroll.
I made cookies this week for all the ladies in our Friday lunch group. Each person either got a bat or a witch's hat. I also made a few Autumn leaves. The cookies are sugar cookies with black glitter sugar on them. They are quite tasty
