I’m finishing my second cup of coffee this morning and just now getting to my second post of the day.

It’s time to skip over to Patrice’s to join the ladies for a little Chats on a Farmhouse Porch.  This week questions are:

What’s the last thing you baked?

Hmm, I was thinking I haven’t baked anything in a while and then I remembered making an Italian herb bread from a mix by Krusteaz. It was easy and it actually tasted pretty good from a box.

 

What’s your favorite thing about fall?

I think the thing I love most about fall is the cooler temperatures. Of course, the change in foliage is spectacular, too. After summer’s heat then the fresh nip to the skin is rejuvenating. I like it being just cool enough to where I need to pull on a sweatshirt.

What’s your favorite room in your home?

This isn’t our living room, but I love the way this room feels – totally inviting. Perhaps in our dream house we can do something like this.

 

It’s nice to unwind at the end of the day with the family gathered in our living room to simply chat like we’re doing here this morning or to just relax in front of the TV. For me, it’s a room of comfort and letting go.

Who handles bill paying in your house?

 

Our bills are pretty straight up. We both know what’s needed to be done, but I actually make sure to schedule payments. This use to be such a headache until everything got so automated. I love that I can set auto-pay for nearly everything that’s consistent, then the rest I manually pay. Paying bills online is convenient and makes life less complicated. This chore doesn’t bother as much as it once did.

Tell me whatever you’d like to share with our chatting friends.

DS began his college classes this week. Freedom at last! Well, free to finally get some much need house cleaning done without interference. You do remember, I have a family full of pack rats, right? There is no one…I repeat no one here to stop me from throwing this or that away. By the time someone notices said object has gone missing then it’s too late.

Being subjected to the lifetime behavior of my pack rats, I’ve discovered a little pack rat in me or maybe it’s all learned behavior or could it be quilt?  I find it difficult to get rid of thing sometimes and have to place it back until another time.

At this stage of the game any progress I make is better than before. I have two semesters to do major deep cleaning to our little abode before next summer arrives and maybe by that time DS will have a steady job.

That’s  it for today. Y’all have a good day and I hope you come by to see me tomorrow! 😉
