Busy October

This month has been super busy.   I managed to fit in a vacation to Utah.  My mom came out and we drove up to Utah to see Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Cedar Breaks.  Utah is super beautiful  and impressive.  We had a fabulous time.   I would love to share a few pictures with you.  Keep in mind I left 80 degree Southern California to go into Utah in October. =) We started off in Zion and the temps were a nice 65 to 70 degrees.

Beautiful coloring in the rocks.  Lovely walking paths.  A gorgeous river.  I could feel stress melting away!

 

The Narrows were pretty amazing.  Steep cliffs on all sides of you as you walk.

Yes if you look close you can see the mountain climber on this cliff…See under the branch in the crack.   A mountain climber.  That is very impressive to me.

We spent an entire day there before heading to Bryce Canyon.  We really under estimated the weather.

YES! That is SNOW.   I was certainly not dressed for snow.   We had to stop and buy jackets. LOL   Then it started snowing heavily.  Most beautiful crazy thing I had seen in years.  I am not a huge snow person.. But IT was SOOOOO Pretty.

You would be walking and see trees and snow and then suddenly a clearing would come and then you would see this..   AMAZING isn’t it?

It was really breath-taking.

The next place we went was Cedar Breaks Monument.  On the way up the mountain we passed this beautiful lake.

I loved driving through these trees with the snow on the ground.  It was all around us and beautiful.

We start-up the mountain and it starts snowing again.  This mountain is higher.  The snow was much deeper.  You could tell that they had the snow plow out.  It was really worth the drive up.  Isnt it pretty?

Yes that says Elevation 10,260.

 

Beautiful!.  I hope y’all enjoyed the pictures of Utah.  I loved the snow.  I don’t think I could ever live in snow though.  It is super beautiful in small doses.    I had a lovely vacation.  My mom came with me.  I love her trips out.

I hope y’all enjoyed..   Have a fabulous Weekend everyone.  I will see you soon ❤

A Start for Christmas

Hello Everyone!!!  Whew this year has flown by.  Where has time gone?  I managed to fit in a few Christmas projects and hopefully I will find time to do a lot more over the next few weeks.  I feel so behind ATM.

I knew when I came across this Angel shaped grapevine wreath that I had to make an Angel Christmas Wreath.  I really wanted to do black and read plaid.  I love plaid christmas items.  This is what I came up with.

I have a cute story to tell.  My lovely blogging friend Mrs. Cobs made these adorable Acorns that you just have to see.  She has a fantastic blog.  Read about them here. (https://wordpress.com/read/blogs/65708825/posts/35752)  I told her the story because her lovely acorns made me think of the story.  She encouraged me to tell the story.  So here it is. I hope y’all enjoy it.

I was at work last month and a squirrel got into the store.    The poor thing was trapped in the store for 3 days.  We set friendly traps the first day to try to catch it, but no luck.  The 2nd day this squirrel was hiding in the bedding area.  It frightened a customer and associate half to death that was shopping down the aisle where it had decided to hide.  I am pretty sure it was as frightened as they were.  It ran underneath a display so we move these traps closer (because they worked so well the first time lol).  One of my co workers felt bad for it.  She was tossing peanuts underneath the display and the little thing was eating them.  We still couldn’t get it and after an hour and half of trying to coax it out lol we gave up.  On the 3rd day a very excited customer came running to say there is a squirrel in the gift bags.   LOL so the associates came to get me. So out I went into the gift bag section.  I decided today was the day.  One by one we starting removing these gift bags.  One or two were shredded lol. Suddenly we reached for a rather large gift back and felt hard movement.  The poor thing in his fright had jumped into this huge gift bag.  It thought if it was super still we wouldn’t fund him.  We reached for the bad and the bag lurched.  We carefully lifted it off the peg and carefully looked inside.  Yep SQUIRREL.  lol It chattered at us.  So off we went as quick as possible out the back door.  Sat the bad down and out it ran.  It ran up the huge tree.. Then quickly came back down it, stopped,  looked at us and gave us a talking to. SO either it was super happy it was free again or it was cursing us out for giving it a fright. LOL  Either was I was happy to get it back into its element.  I am pretty sure it was just as happy!.

I also visited King Tut this  month.  It was so interesting.  I had a great time and enjoyed ready about him.   I am going to share a few pics of my visit.  Amazing how much time and thought goes into these tombs.  Everything has meaning.  This is the last time they will be touring.  He will be making his way back to Egypt for his finally resting place.

Have a fabulous week.

Until next time!
