October is here and fall is definitely here!

It has been 2 weeks already and I haven't blogged.... So I thought, maybe it's time to post something on this first day of October. Fall is definitely here. This weekend, I will have to put away our summer clothes, goodbye sandals, shorts, capris, etc.... And hello sweaters and warmer clothes. Yesterday morning, it was so cold that I wore a jacket for the first time since last winter and it was also the first day we ate home made soup (leeks and potatoes, we have so many leeks in our garden!).

Last weekend, I accompanied Ernie to a coin & stamp show (boring for me and I forgot to take a book to read while he was checking out coins). The show was in West Seneca, NY and we went back through Niagara Falls, NY where we did some shopping at the new Super Walmart. Huge store (we won't be shopping at Tops anymore!) and besides great deals on food items (why are chicken and dairy products so much cheaper in the US??), I finally found a quilt for our bed.... I have been wanting one for a long time, I almost bought one last time I was at JC Penney. So I was very happy to find this beautiful quilt from the Home and Garden collection at Walmart and for the right price too: only $35.00!!



I couldn't believe it! I don't know why our Walmart doesn't carry this H&G collection, lots of pretty stuff.... I was very attracted by their dinner dishes... Maybe next time.... We are supposed to go to another coin & stamp show at Cheektowaga on Sunday, this time I won't forget a book or a magazine!
