Good Morning. Pumpkin spice protein coffee

If you enjoy having coffee over your vanilla protein shake try adding a little bit of pumpkin spice. It's so good!   

It's only supposed to be in the 60's today. Dare I hope that Fall has arrived? I love the Fall...I like the clothes and football and cooler temps and the way the foothills look when the leaves change and, and, and.... On pretty days I plan to take the MGB out for a spin towards the mountains--maybe even take a drive along Skyline Drive this year.

What do want to do this Fall?

GET UNPACKED, LOL  But to do that we have to finish packing and move.

I love the fall too, cooler and the leaves make the mountains look like God put down a multicolored carpet for our enjoyment.

Yesterday, we got a LOT done...some of which was interviewing a handyman and getting an estimate on the stuff we need done by a handyman. WOW, this one was way too expensive...so dh and I are looking at what WE can do and what has to go to a handyman. Anything roof or gutter related will go to someone else...I don't want dh on a roof that is 2 stories high. And all we need is the junk brushed off the roof and the gutters cleaned.

But I also got all the shelves lined and then swpt and "mopped" the floors...I used Orange Glo to mop the hardwood floors. Made them look so much better.

Mmmm, the pumpkin spice idea sounds wonderful.

I love fall, but it's just too short here.....walking outside, wearing sweaters, the fall colors, FOOTBALL.

Hurray for fall.  I love it.  It was cool enough here yesterday to open the windows and turn off the air.  I have a camping trip this weekend, leaving tomorrow for Tennessee.  The our club's pleasure driving show, a camping trip in Ky and another driving show in October, one in early November and I'm done.  Then I guess my knee replacement.  But I'm squeezing all the fun I can in before then.

Today, it's a 10am meeting then home to do the final cleaning and packing of the trailer so I can get a somewhat early departure in the morning.

Oh yes, Pumpkin spice lattes - yum!!  Maybe I'll give that a try today.

Fall is pretty but I know its just a precursor to winter, which is miserably long here. 

I'm going to be traveling most of October so I'll miss it here.  October really is our fall.. leaves are gone about the 2nd week of Oct.  Gina - if hubby is interested in coming up, that really is a great time to be here.  Fall colors are close to peak the holiday weekend.  I won't be here though... :-(

Time for protein coffee!

I LOVE fall......and living in the NC mountains just makes it stupendous.  Used to live in Fla and fall looked like spring, winter, and summer, lol. 

Have never tried pumpkin in my coffee....LOVE pumpkin pie and cake so may need to try that.  Have not really found a vanilla protein I like though....still have a syntrax sample to try so maybe it is time to try that when I am back home.  I have a mindfulness retreat planned in October in the mtns......it is for WLS folks and I am really looking forward to the support as well as adding additional tools to my dealing with emotions without dependence on food.  This is a struggle for me for MY lifetime....I am doing okay now but am concerned when I am further out.

Anyways, Happy Fall......
