As I mentioned last week, LB and I took a quick trip north to enjoy the season.  We went to Amicalola State Park and Lodge in Dawsonville, GA and then to Highlands, NC for shopping.  In Highlands we decided that we would NEVER AGAIN visit on a Saturday.

PSA: DO NOT go to Highlands main street on a Saturday!

Everyone and their dogs were there.  The small shops were so crowded it was difficult to move around.  Nevertheless, I managed to come away with a few treasures

Favorite # ONE

Shopping Boutiques

It’s what I do.

When we returned home on Sunday, it was time to get it together for a party.  My youngest turned 36 on November 9th and he is well worth celebrating

Favorite # TWO

Richard

He’s all grown up, but he’s still a good boy!

Yes, I made the cake.

Favorite # THREE

A MAN CALLED OVE

I started this book on November 3rd and finished it Tuesday, November 10th.  It was good and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I gave it five stars.

Recently LB and I watched the 2022 movie based on the book

Favorite # FOUR

A MAN CALLED OTTO

Both the book and the movie will make you cry.

As a side note [but not a favorite] LB and I also watched

It is on Amazon Prime and it is weirdly entertaining.

It has been a few years since LB and I visited Alexander’s in Blairsville, GA.  We weren’t able to visit on our recent trip due to major flooding in the area.  I hope all is well.

But last time we were there he bought me this adorable sweatshirt.

Favorite # FIVE

It’s nice and cool today, so I’m wearing it for our Friday adventure.  I’ll tell you all about it next week!
