Today was such a beautiful day. The temperature got all the way to 70, not bad for mid November. We (all the neighbors) had our last picnic of the season. I know November is a little late but we had originally planned to have it around Labor Day but our hostess was bitten on the hand by her cat and was unable to do the honors. So we all waited and decided we better make a last hurrah while we could. The grills were working over time with hot dogs and hamburgers. Everyone donated food to the feast. We all had a wonderful time. I am usually the one with the camera but I forget it this time and only remembered after everyone had finished eating. We all visited and chatted around the fire. ( fire was in a lone kettle grill ) It was almost like sitting around a camp fire all that was missing was the marshmallows. LOL We came back home about 7:30 pm happy and contented. Surprisingly it was not that cold after the sun went down.
After returning home, I was able to finish off another small ornie. I must have a hundred of the little kits in my stash. It worked up fairly fast. Now to make it into an ornie is next. I also received a surprise in the mail several days ago. My Aunt and best friend made me a small ornie for my tree. She said she did it while she was receiving her chemo treatments. So it has a lot of special meaning for me. She is having trouble with neuropathy in her fingers and occasionally has trouble holding onto the needle. But she finished this for me. She is a very special lady.
