I went ahead and changed my banner today.
(this is a photo of our mantel)
I was planning on September 1st, but couldn't wait!
I can't wait for Fall. I'm planning on getting my decorations out this weekend.
I'll also be redoing my half-bath in a Fall theme.
Will show pictures when I'm finished!

Ok, since putting the commercial on here the other day, I've been having lots of fun looking for other videos.
I was watching a bunch of retro commercials, stuff from the 70's and 80's.
You can actually buy a DVD set of nothing but retromercials!
While looking at vintage videos, I found some old Donny and Marie stuff, too.
I've had a crush on Donny Osmond since I was 7, haha. (but you probably knew that)
So, without further comment, here is a Donny clip for you, from the era
where I would have cried just seeing him on the TV. (LOL)

This is a clip of him on the Tom Jones show. haha!




I'm working on a series of classes to teach at my LSS!
I'll have more details soon,
but it will be a class every other month. Can't wait!

Yesterday I made some banana bread and it made the house smell so good.
We had some with breakfast this morning and it was yummy.
I didn't want to share the recipe until I could review it, ha, so here
is the recipe link:
* Extreme Banana Nut Bread *
(I left out the walnuts, but sprinkled sliced almonds on top)

Gotta go work on some things. Have a beautiful day!

(I love this quote!)
"Nothing so hinders us in what we are doing as to be longing after something else; in so doing, we leave off tilling our own field, to drive the plough through our neighbour's land, where we must not look to reap a harvest; and this is mere waste of time. If our thoughts and hopes are elsewhere, it is impossible for us to set our faces steadily towards the work required of us." - Francis de Sales
