Weekend at the Apple Orchards, October 3, 2009

It was off to Weston to 3 Apple Orchards and then the Weston Apple Fest:

First stop Weston Red Barn -they had sponsors as scarecrows:


















Then off to Vaughn Orchards:

Dad was Johnny Appleseed and Mom, Desiree and I were the apples. This is also where I had my one splurge on the apple donut fritter (sooooooo good)





















Then to Alldredge:
Barn animals, mums and pumpkins.

Branson, September 5-7, 2009

Always stop at Osceola Cheese on the way to Branson!

The main trip purpose of the Branson trip was to see my friend Melissa who was in town from Texas. It was a great reunion as we haven't seen each other for a very long time. I also met her nephew and family:

Then the trip turned in to a girl's trip where we went shopping and Desiree went to Build-A-Bear:

View from the Chateau (we did not stay there - only a visit):

I couldn't resist purchasing this $400 Glasswork piece for only $100:

New Carpet August 22, 2009

This weekend I had the final flooring in my house replaced with new carpet. The hallway with two closets, master bedroom and closet and spare bedroom and closet. It took 7 hours of installation but I am super excited and still don't want to walk on it.
