Is this the quote?

I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.

Today's Selections (Tues., Oct 24)

* 36 Eyeball Candy

* 4 Chrysanthemums

I was a very bad girl this weekend, but it was very fun. I spent $12 on seeds and brought home 3 bags. Nothing special. Regular little packets, a few, and then the boxes of seeds they sell with filler in them: wildflower mix, zinnia, shade garden. I do not need any seeds. I do not need any seeds. My mantra isn't working!

Bingo! sorry for the delay

Congrats Amy on Bingo!!

Congrats Jayeanne on Call the Quote!!

I am wrapping this month up.......thanks for playing!!

Jayeanne and Amy, I will let you know when I send out prizes!!

And on to November........

Thank you Annie for a fun Fotess month! It is hard to believe it is almost November.

Annie, thank you for hosting a fun month. Sorry I was not able to participate more.

Too many issues going on for us this month. The latest was yesterday with a big oak in our front yard falling. Our extreme weather has been really bad for a lot of the trees these past few years. We've had a lot of rain this week and I guess the ground just got too soft to support the weight. It hit my car but nothing else was damaged. Got most of it removed today and they should finish up tomorrow. It's still raining and supposed to get down to 38 degrees tonight. I haven't covered or brought in any plants. It's just too wet and messy outside to deal with.

I'm hosting the November swap and will post a very simple swap on the 31st or 1st.

THANK YOU Annie for a FUN month! we enjoyed the weekend weather here by keeping our toes in the sand, (I think it was 87) our weather for Tuesday evening is going down to 36 at night I guess its getting to be that time of year again ... Happy Halloween! and eat lots of chocolate! LOL

Congrats Amy on BINGO - I think I had one word left, lol

Thanks for being a great hostess, Annie!

Ruth, I am so sorry to hear about your tree and your car. I had a large tree fall on my house when I was in SC and it was terrible. The middle of COVID and very hard to get workers to come out and deal with it.

Yes, Ruth and Jayeanne, that cold weather is heading this way, too. It has been in the 80s and I've had the AC on but I don't think that will happen after today. It's supposed to rain tomorrow but I just plan to stay in. Plenty to do here at home.

Down to sub-floor in two of my downstairs rooms and no functioning stove plus dust like I've never seen from pulling up the carpet and pad and breaking up the tile to take it out. Still finding small pieces or wood and tile here and there ... and don't dare walk around without shoes. One day it will all come together.

Finally getting around to doing prizes for the October winners Jovial Jayeanne and Amazing Amy....sorry about the delay! Of course, I am sending items that Annie likes.....yes, I am selfish...LOL!!

Jayeanne and Amy, prizes should arrive to you on Wednesday direct from Amazon.....2 items for each of you....the two items for each of you should come in the one package....but you never know!! PM or email me that you received. Happy November....Happy Thanksgiving.

Annie... THANK YOU so much for the absolutely gorgeous flamingo Merry and Bright holiday garden flag, and the super cute flamingo napkins! LOVE them BOTH! many thanks!

Wishing you and all of yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Annie, Thank you so much for the spectacular garden flag! it is so beautiful and I have the perfect place for it! I love mermaids decor!!! The napkins are adorable. Thank you again so much, such a special surprise. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving! Take care, Amy
