October CupboardScape

Good evening sweet blogging buddies.

I want to thank everyone for the well wishes for my mom's

latest eye surgery.

Surgery went ok, however we were rear ended on the way.

I was driving my mom's new car...

she wanted me to drive since it has been in our driveway

for almost a month now.

Geez...who would have thought that we would be in an accident.

I was stopped at a red light andhappened to be looking

 in the rear view mirror.

I saw the car coming at me and braked harder than usual...

as I thought I would be pushed into the car in front of me.

Being left handed, I also braced my left hand really hard on the wheel.

Harder than my right hand.

My arm was sore for a few days.

Mom was alright, but they did delay her surgery

for an hour so her blood pressure would lower.

Well, since I had to get my mom to her appt,

I opted not to wait for a police report.

My mom was crying and I knew her blood pressure was rising.

I took down all of the ladies info.

Well the next day when I tried to file a police report,

it seems in the county I was hit,

both parties must show up to file the report.

You probably have guessed, that the lady won't go.

She tried to say I would get a ticket for leaving the scene.

Then she offered to send my mom a check for the damages.

Then she stated she was going on vacation...

and that her and her husband have not been on vacation for 11 years.

Really???

I am going to try one more time to get her to cooperate...

but if she does not,

then I will turn over her information to my mom's insurance

company and they can contact her.

Since my arm was a bit sore,

I have been bad at blogging.

So sorry.

I am back now!

Autumn Delight is the inspiration for

my October CupboardScape.

A child's quilt is used as the back drop this time.

Hydrangeas tucked into a basket
next to a 2 gallon butter churn crock.
Underneath my shoo fly screen is some wonderful
smelling pumpkin faux muffins.
I wish we had smell~a~vision in blogland.
They smell so yummy!

I chose this whiskey jug...
but I think some hard cider should be in it. 

Lastly this piggin bucket.
Piggin pails and buckets have the handle on the side.

Although mine is flat,
some were carved into a spoon to be used for grain.
You cannot really tell in this pic, but mine has knife marks...
which tells me this was once used 
as a small breadboard or cutting board of some kind.

October CupboardScape Blessings To All!

Bowl Rack Reveal

Good evening sweet blogging friends.
Boy what a difference a day can make.
83 degrees and nice yesterday.
 A cool rainy 53 degree day today.
Fall is sure in the air now.

Bob finally put up my new bowl rack.
I added my blue, orange and plain wood bowls.
Do you like?

Draped a piece of blue coverlet.

A bit of inside Autumn
with shades of gold, red, brown and orange.
All the colors of the season.
Except for the blue. LOL

This firkin (sugar bucket) on the right
is my newest one.
I purchased this one from Marie at
the Harvest at The Mill show.
It is natural in color and also a signed piece.
Just perfect to complete my Autumn decor on our jam cabinet.
Do you decorate with painted prims in your seasonal decor?

Taking my mom to her next eye surgery in the morning.
Say a wee prayer for her if you can.

Firkin Blessings To All!

Home Part Tres

Good afternoon sweet blogging friends.
A Big thank you to those who sent prayers and well wishes for my mom.
Surgery was delayed a bit as they could not dilate her eye,
so I was in the waiting room wondering why it was taking so long..
as others were leaving that went in after her.
Her  post op appointment this morning
revealed that her eye is still swelled up,
due to the eye disease she has even after removing the cataract.
She has another appt. next week to see if things are improving.
Her vision is blurry and she will be staying with us for the week.
No sense letting her try to drive home right now.

Below are a few more pics around the home.
this time in the kitchen.

Hope you enjoy.

Autumn Decor Blessings To All!
