Home again, home again, jiggity jig...

October sunset over Lake Mary

It wasn't exactly "To market, to market" but I am home again after four days in Minneapolis. It was one of those trips where I kill two (or more) birds with one stone. I love "the Cities" as Minneapolis/St. Paul is affectionately called. I am really a city girl at heart. So any excuse to go is welcomed.

Many of you already know this but for those who don't, I actually drive 2-1/2 hours to have my hair cut or whatever needs to be done to it. So, when I make that appointment I generally try to cram in enough other errands and meetings that it is worth the Fifty Bucks in gas to get there. Coming from a person who claims to be "greening" up her life, this is painful to admit. At least I'm admitting it...

I've got a ton of catching up to do now that I'm back. Couldn't access my Squidoo mailbox on Jen's computer for some odd reason. I really think I don't have it set up right but haven't had any problems until now. One more thing to try to figure out. Oh well...

So this is an October sunset over the lake. Looks like a sepia tone photograph but it's not. This is really the color. Every night looks a little different and I've got a whole collection of photos of the sunsets over the lake.

A trip to take fall photos is really in order and I think we're near peak color here. That would be a great mini-trip. Will have to talk to Jack about that...

That is a beautiful photo. More reasons to love Autumn!
Just lovely.
And thanks for your sweet comment on that post. Her blog post (Salon), you could feel her sadness and her strength.
Kind of interesting how we are sometimes lead by what seems like coincidence to what we need to hear and pay attention to, huh?

You are so right about that. I have a close friend who lost his father suddenly a few weeks ago. I've forwarded the Salon post to he and his wife. So glad you posted it to your blog.
