Basically British...

...basically delicious, basically wonderful! 2 of my best friends took me out for tea at a local shop. It was an early birthday treat and oh was it sweet! Mom came along and we had such a good time. I don't post pictures of my friends much, most don't want me too, but suffice to say they are both beautiful! And dear and so special to me.

The day was gray, chilly and drizzly but that just made this occasion all the more perfect!

Basically British, on Third Street in downtown Dayton, is a tremendous place.

I now have lovely memories to last a lifetime!

And in the same vein...a blast from the recent past! Click on this: Grace's ProperTea

and also Grace Does Tea and share these sweet memories with us!

Scaring Up A Little Fall...

Every day, during the week, I pick up my nephew at his school and drop him off at his sitters.

 I always enjoy spending this time with him and looking around at all the pretty spots dotted along our way...

Autumn here is especially pretty this year and our drive is such a treat!

On Tuesday, after dropping Boo off, I took a little time to enjoy some of my favorite area streets.

Every October the town of Oakwood sets up their Scarecrow Row. It is always fun to see what the creative local shopkeepers and residents come up with for us!

I LOVE the fork and pad of butter...and see the *slime* trail just behind the snail? What fun!

I thought this one was just adorable...love the little *back flap*!

The scarecrow family does their shopping...

...and even the family scaredog tags along!

I always find a few ever so pretty porches all dressed in their Autumn finery!

And oh what beautiful trees can be found if you just take a look around!

The colors of Fall just make me feel happy...how about you?

It has been a busy week filled with fun..I will be sharing it with you in a day or two. Yesterday I spent the day with Sue S. from Sullivan and Murphy and Kari from Just Livin' Large who is visiting from Texas!

It was one heck of a sweet day! I LOVE these two ladies and am so blessed to know them.

Until tomorrow...love and hugs to you all.

Whew! Has It Really Been 11 Days?

Yup, it really HAS been 11 days since I last posted! What a bad blogger I have been! It is awful enough not to post but even worse that I haven't been able to visit most of you!

I want to thank each one of you who visited recently and left such sweet and uplifting comments for me. Each one has meant so much to me and I wanted you to know that. Thank you!

As a thank you and as an apology for not being a good bloggy friend of late, I wanted to offer some pictures I took last week. These were all taken in and around our little community.

Autumn is here in all it's glory!

I hope that your weekend was a sweet one and that your week ahead will bring you many smiles and happy moments. I have lots to share from this past week and I will be hopping all around blog world to say hello to each one of you....till then,

Love and Hugs Always,

Susie Q
