Fall in in the air

It has been beautiful weather here in Ga.  A nip in the air but sunny.  I am ready for pumpkins, baking, fires, and candles burning.  This year I would like to attempt carving a pumpkin.  I will save that for a later post.  Life has been busy with traveling to Columbia, as well as the mundane of everyday life, such as grocery shopping (one of my least favorite things to do), cleaning house, yardwork, etc.  The house in Columbia is coming along very slowly.  We painted the garage floor and closed the pool down this weekend.  I do believe that the garage finally smells better so that was encouraging.  I think the cool air probably helps as well.  Mike will go it alone this weekend, putting insulation under the house, repairng drywall, and fixing leaking pipes that occurred under the sink last week.  Seems like water, water everywhere sure has been the cause of much demolition and expense.  We picked out a tile to do in the kitchen and now we just have to wait and see if the floor guy thinks we can spare the wooden floors or not.  If not, we will have to tile the dining room and entry way.  A lot of work, but I think it will look nice in the end.  We will also probably have to tear up all the laminate floors in order to lay the carpet down.  It is exhausting to think about but I keep reminding myself that it has to end sometime, right?  Had a great birthday on Thursday.  All the kids at school sang happy birthday, I got a few hand made cards, and the best part was going to see "Wicked" at the Fox theater with my wonderful husband.  We had a good time out together.  We haven't been able to do that so much anymore because of all our house issues so it was a nice treat.  Here are a few pics to share of this and that:
