T stands for daTes with mom

Hello and Happy T Day! Hope everyone has had a good week. This past week has been filled with every emotion there is with my grandma's passing and life in general. I took a day of rest just for myself and the quiet house. I did things that were good for my heart and none of them were chores, lol.  Here's a peek at one thing I did, colored in my new adult coloring book I got a few months ago. It was relaxing and nice to just play with color and sip my tea. Wishing there pages weren't double sided though, sharpies go right through them. So colored pencils were needed instead.
 
In the middle of my grandma's health issues and moving around we had our MOM date, we've been trying to get to this orchard/farmer's market kind of store my mom really wanted to see. This was actually on the first day of FALL, how perfect it was to go and welcome in my favorite season.
The grass was still pretty wet from the cold night so I got a side picture of the front of it.
LOVE IT, would love a front porch like this!
Of course, there were pretty mums of all colors
My favorite kinds of pumpkins, mini ones! I took one orange and white one home with me
Inside was full of jelly's and jams and
APPLES!!
Brussel Sprouts too, first time I've seen them this way
They did have some coffee and cups you could buy
The place was small but packed with so much fun stuff to see and taste.
They bake pies and fudge too, which my mom and sisters took home.
We sat on the porch for some photos, probably my favorite part, love the rocking chairs they had out there. Some were two together with a table between them, so neat.
Used the self timer to get us all in, YAY!!
Once of just me, thanks MOM!
One last one out by the pumpkins
 
So glad we made it there finally and that we had some time together. Not sure what our next date will be but will be good again I'm sure. Hard to believe the year is almost over, do hope we keep up with these weekly dates.
 
Thanks so much for your visits and comments, I love them all. Today is a babysitting day for me so I will be around sometime later today or tomorrow to say hello.
If you didn't see them yet, I did 28 Project Life pages for a challenge and posted them below if you want to see them. Not caught up with it yet but got so much done.
Thank you Elizabeth for hosting us at T time again this week and helping me get linked up in time.
Have a good week and thank you again!

  1. Sorry I was late getting here tonight, but it's been a dizzy, busy day. Your coloring book looks fun. I know you enjoy that sort of thing.

    What a fun time for you, your mom, and your sisters, and it's good that you were able to have this time together in view of what would soon turn your life upside down.

    Lots of things to look at when you took this trip, and I really enjoyed seeing the coffee beans they sold. And of course the photos with the pumpkins and mums really DO scream autumn, don't they? This was a fun post, and I'm glad you shared it with us for T this week.

  5. Sounds and looks like you had some great all-girls time with your mum and sisters. I am sorry you lost your grandmother; I lost mine in 1998 and I still miss her a lot. Happy T-Day!

  6. I've heard of the adult coloring books but never seen one. Looks like fun and maybe a way for me to get back into my art. Sorry to hear you lost your Grandmother. Times like that are hard so it is good you took a day for yourself.

  7. Life cycles hurt, sorry to hear about your Grandmother.
    Looks like you had a great day with your Mom and sisters.......I really like the picture of just you.

    I've been down loading some of those adult coloring pages from Pinterest and printing them on card stock so I can use markers....it helps. Funny how coloring is so soothing for the spirit.

    Happy T-day

  9. Doing things for our heart and soul.....We seem to put that on the back burner don't we... I'm so glad you took some time for yourself and just ..be... I'am so sorry to hear of your grandmas passing.... We all know it will happen eventually but it still blind sides you...
    I loved coloring as a child... I think we all did... we just don;t think we carry that joy into adulthood but apparently we do.... Thats what i think when i draw my doodles... i'm just drawing my own coloring book... Hugs! deb

  13. I must say I love my colouring books(one at home - one at caravan) just right for getting my head around something! So sorry to hear about your grandma.
    Love the photos of you and your family at the apple place - I loved seeing the different varieties that we don't get here- haven't seen Macintoshes for years although we do get Galas. Coxes and Russets are my favourites but I don't see them in your pics! Happy T Day! Chrisx
