FAMILY FUN

Good Afternoon, wow,  it is a really hot day here in Winnipeg, almost to hot for this tine of year, in the high 80`s, whew!!!!                                               Just a quick little post to say my evening bonfire at my Sisters was such a great time.   Family, food and fun, what could be better.     The evening weather was just right, and the full moon was so so magical, loved the big ole Fall moon shining down on us, the stars so bright to.    We roasted Turkey brats, my first time having one and it was yummy, never thought a turkey weiner would taste that good but it was.  Then out came the marshmellows, can`t beat the taste of roasted mellos on a campfire, mmmm good.           The Sister  who`s house we were at bought me the cutest white pumpkin, love it so, she knew I wanted to get one and she had gone to a greenhouse and there was  white pumpkins for sale,   love my Sissy`s dearly, they are my best buddies to.   So that was my girls night out,  my Mom had a great outing as we sisters did to.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend my prim friends, Blessings Francine.

MY FALL SWAP GOODIES



A LITTLE VISITER



BABY DEAN



Happy Tuesday,  another golden crisp Fall day is apon us, love the weather lately, so perfect.           My girlfriend popped in with her Grandson  Dean yesterday for a visit,   she babysits him on Mondays,   the other days at the sitters.     Dean is now 9 months, he is a very sweet boy,  starting standing up and walking around the furniture, oh oh.     He is doing very well for having no Mama,   she passed away 3 months after giving birth to Dean,   she was only 21 years old, something to do with her heart,   so so sad.   So her son moved back home with Dean and Cheryl does most of the watching over Dean,   he is well loved and Granny is doing her best, it not easy for a young man to raise a son.                                     Cam has been cleaning up and picking his grapes, he has 3 grape vines and they were crazy this year, he`s been picking every evening pails and pails full, giving away and freezing some to, oh and has 3 batches of wine going, Salute!!!!       That is all about happening right now, wishing you all a happy day, enjoy,  Blessings Francine.



GRAPES GALORE



THE LAKE



FRONT PORCH ON THHE TRAILER



Good Evening Primfolk,  hope all is well with you this fine Sunday.             We had a wonderful time at the lake,  the days were warm but the nights we cold, woke up to frost this morning,   but we were cozy in the trailer with the heat on.   There was fog rolling on the lake this morning to, looked so pretty, then the sun came up and warmed everything up.      I got alot of chores done, cleaned up the flowers,  put away the garden ornaments and raked up leaves, thought there was no end, lol.       We are planning to go till our Thanksgiving long weekend in Oct.,  just hoping the weather holds out.     Makes me so sad closing up the trailer for another season,  will surely miss our days there.         Wishing you all a warm cozy evening, Prim Blessings Francine.



AUTUMN JOY STILL LOOKING PRETTY



FOG ON THE LAKE







FOG IN THE FAR FEILD



OFF TO THE LAKE

Good Morning Primfolk,    chilly again this morning,  frost warning tonight  but we are still off to the lake this afternoon for the weekend.   Will have lots to do there for soon it will be time to close the trailer up once again.     The weather is supposed to be in the 50`s during the day but cool at night but thats o.k.,   we will be cozy with the heater on in our home away from home,    I`m still looking forward to go and sit by the crackling fire and enjoy nature.          Still can`t figure out what happened to my blog,  but oh well,  thats the way it goes I guess.    Thanks gals for trying, I do  appreciate all your help, you gals rock!!!!       Wishing you all a great weekend,  stay safe, Warm Blessings Francine.

MORE FALL DECORATING

Happy Hump Day,  middle of the week once again,   can`t believe we hit the middle of Sep.,   seems like we just flipped the old calender page and here we are well in the middle, gads, time does fly.    The weather was so windy and cool yesterday I once again decided to bring up a box of Fall goodies and start in the porch,  aka,  T.V. room.    Cam added it on to the house and I really love to sit in there, comfy, cozy,  we can use it all year long,  even through our freezing old man winters.    So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, mmmm coffee and  sit a spell with me.



TOP OF THE FAKE FIREPLACE

Started with the mantle, so much fun to decorate with the change of seasons, even if it is a fake, tee hee.    Then moved on to the front of the fireplace,  can`t seem to take really nice pictures and post them together so they look good but I`m still learning and learning...........

FRONT OF THE FAKE,  HA!!



ON TOP OF THE OLD CHEESE BARREL

Next to decorate is the..... you know I forgot the real name  of what it really is called, can`t seem to remember what comes after cheese....... but anyway,  put two of my Turkey candles on top,  prim wax pumpkin and little crow tealight in a old tin mold, oh ya,  and the pumpkin picture I painted on birchbark,  I`m no artist am I.

THE OLD EGG CRATE

Then I like to put a few goodies on the top of the old egg crate I had bought, love it so, has the name still on it,   Humpty Dumpty Co,    how cute is that.  In the red bowl put my prim kitty faces my Sis had made for me,  and prim pumpkin guy with black kitty to.  

WINDOW SILL

Like to decorate the window sill to, I always have the picture, old lamp and  oval star box but put the little pumpkin and scarecrow man joining the display.    O.K....... are you still enjoying your coffee????? or did you leave me at the fireplace picture......yawn.   One more, no really!!!!!

OLD HALLRACK

Last but not least is one of my favorite antique pieces, the old Hallrack I bought at a garage sale many many moons ago,  fell in love right away with it and bought it right then and there, no ifs or ands or buts.. just paid the man $150.00,   thought I did pretty good,  don`t see them very often around these parts.  I always have the quilts on it but put the Jack-o-lantern pillow that my sweet Sis also made me, ta da!!!     Well gals, there you have it,  thats all for now Primfolk,  enjoy the day,  thanks for stopping by,  love to have ya,   Warm Fall Blessings Francine.

More Pumpkins

Happy Monday Morning Primfolk, well it`s mighty chilly morn, very close to zero last night here in Winnipeg,  nip in the air for sure this morning.                      Cam bought me some more smaller pumpkins yesterday while I was at work,  yes, real sweetheart,  so the evening found me doing some Fall decorating in the livingroom.      

Started on my old church pew placing the two small pumpkins,  witchy pumpkin doll I bought at Winners years ago , fell in love with her and the big wax pumpkin in a wooden bowl.

Then on to the quilt cabinet Cam made me many years ago, to many quilts he said and no where to put them,  I told him never mind I`ll find room for them all, never enough old quilts,   so he made me the cabinet,   there is a second shelf you can`t see,  and the quilt cabinet is full.                                        I bought the old crow decoy when we were on holidays in Detriot Lakes, Minn.  two years ago at an antique mall,   so many wonderful old goodies and I picked out the old crow, it was love at first sight, the ladies at the till were laughing at me saying out of all the things in here you buy the crow,  yup, thats what I loved. 

 



MY SWEET PUMKIN GUY FROM BRENDA AT THE RUSTY THIMBLE

Placed the very dapper pumpkin guy  in my old sifter,  he is so cute,  gotta love the prim candy corn he`s holding. He sits really good in there to.

On to the white cupboard, looks really white in the picture, I don`t like it but oh well.  Cam made me the top piece  also to hold dishes or whatever,  I like to display seasonal goodies on it to.  The bottom is really a nice old kitchen cupboard, inside the drawers are lined with metal, guess for flour and all the good kitchen nesessities.  Bought it at a yard sale for $20.00, one of my favorite old pieces.   Well, thats all folks,   shall move on to another room soon.   Enjoy the day,  Warm Blessings Francine.
