Evergreen Plantation in Dining Room

Hello! How was your Labor Day?

We had a great holiday, my Mother visited and we celebrated her birthday. It's always a fun visit when she can make it, little shopping and good food!

Friday my Husband had the day off and surprised me with a nice purchase. Kirklands had a wonderful sale going on and we took advantage (Thanks to my Husband). We have been eyeing this large framed picture of the Evergreen Plantation for many months. We were able to bring it home safely which was fun trying to get it in husband's car. Husband even was able to hang it with very little trouble, surprising since it is quite large. I have loved this picture of the Evergreen Plantation in Louisiana for a long time, I highly suggest you google the name and browse through the many pictures of this beautiful place.  It matches our buffet from Havertys perfectly and for the holidays I'll decorate it simply so as not to take away from the gorgeousness of it. 

I have also attached a video sharing our Kirklands haul. 

Enjoy!

Labor Day Apple Picking

G'ma Terri came over this weekend for a short visit and our First Apple Picking Day! We checked the Apples and some were ready to be picked but others need some more time in the sun. We think around the middle of the month..of course we are not really sure, first time having an apple tree (and we have 5)!

Yesterday we had a BBQ with my mom and sisters..We sat around and watched" No Reservations" and "Becoming Jane" plus we ate way to much cake!





Please help me out and send me your Apple Recipes..I'm going to attempt to make a pie, applesauce and hopefully Apple Butter...and with 5 trees...I better get cracking!
