Fall Highlights

As we prepare for the upcoming holidays & cooler weather, my heart is still warm & full of fall memories...

a heavenly hiking day with one of my dear friends....

we sat on a rock way up high with the birds, took in the sunshine & magnificence (it was transcendent to say the least!), & talked about choosing to be happy no matter what.  She literally is my rock :) ...

while I was still trying to figure out how to take a panoramic shot, she nailed it!...

pumpkin picking & catapulting with my nephews & niece...

 

leaves floating down a sunny stream in the woods...

technicolor foliage that makes you feel like you're in another world (yes, that's a red barn tucked between the trees!)....

& cheering on my brother & all of the other awesome runners in the NYC marathon (my favorite day in NYC all year)...

Happy Birthday to my grandma Ellie.  She passed away two years ago this week & would have been 95 today.  I had a dream a few years before she died that we were outside on a beautiful sunny day in the fall & she was roller skating like she loved to do when she was a teenager.  She was laughing & skating fast in big circles & I was yelling, Be careful Gram, you're going to get hurt!  She didn't care, she was having a blast.  That's what I imagine her doing on the other side :)  Miss you & love you Gram.  

Have a great weekend my friends & do something fuuun!!
