Excited... :-))))))

Above, is the Apple Pie I made for son-next-door-&-family, on Sat.

I'm so excited.  Found that I can pre-order a Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving!   

My next door daughter in law loves Pumpkin Pie, but she has to eat G/F, as I do.  I always make her a Pumpkin Pie, and she will just eat the filling.  Neither of us, can eat the old fashioned crust which I make, for my pies.

But this time, she can eat the whole thing!  And I will have something I can eat for dessert, on Thanksgiving too.

I'm used to just sitting by, while family has desserts and at Birthday Cake times.  But this will be nicer.  :-)

We went for an early dinner, on Sun., at the Olde Bryan Inn.

It is a restaurant with real ambiance.  In 1773 it began, as a crude log cabin on the bluff overlooking the High Rock Spring.

Down through the years, it has been improved and enlarged, and has been many "things."  A home, an inn, with a blacksmith shop nearby, a laundry, and again used as a home....  Before becoming the present Olde Bryan Inn.

We sat just across from this fireplace, one of 2 in this room alone.  Such a nice ambiance for a dark and rainy Sun. afternoon.

Here is a professional picture!  Doing it so much more "justice," than my little camera can, in the pics above.  :-)

And speaking of dark and rainy Sun., it was amazing that it was this way, with the Full Beaver Moon last night.  Usually, the Full Moon seems to bring clear skies.  Phooie.  Not last night...

This and that, and the other thing... :-)))

Toy Dump Truck, my husband made, for a silent auction.  For the annual Rotary Scholarship Foundation Brunch.  All made from pieces of various woods, he had left over, from previous wood working projects.

What a Full Harvest Moon we had, hu???????  :-)

I've been doing less Cozy Mystery book reading...  And more books on nutrition and How To Eat And Live.  These above, are a couple of them.

But my favorite is "The French Don't Diet Plan."  Basically it says to: 

*Eat real food.  

*Do not eat processed foods.  

*Take time to enjoy your meals, so you won't overeat.  

*Have a glass of wine.  

*Stay active.  

*Slow our hectic American lifestyle down enough, to enjoy your life.

:-)

 

Examples of real food.  Organic fruit.  Real cream.  (See, no long table of contents on any of those things...)

 

  

Home made Eggplant Parm.

Whatcha' think...????????????

Happy Harvest Moon...
