PAMPERED CHEF BANANA BREAD

 Hello Kindred Spirits...

our days are becoming cooler and it's been

rather enjoyable sitting outdoors in the afternoon....

I love watching the children walk home from school which

is all contained within the neighborhood...

and it's safe.....

I love seeing the school bus drive by and wonder if

everyone had a good day..

I find it rather sad, that these days, there are no books in school...

the teachings are all on line and managed through an APP...

The older I become, the more I think fondly of the times

in which I grew up.....thankful for these memories....

I have a friend who's family tradition is to cook all their favorite holiday foods
as they gather on Christmas Eve.
Each family member prepared their favorite recipe and her father makes
the Banana Bread which was featured by the Pampered Chef!
That is a version I had yet to try, so today was the day....

I decided it was time to add fairy lights to the mantel as the night
comes a bit earlier these days and I absolutely love it....
it's just stunning and feels so festive!

This is fall break over in Atlanta so the family
is off visiting college campuses for potential
higher education....hard to believe it's time for that,
but it's so exciting!

Lucille is such a girly girl.....a little precious.....
she loves finding sun puddles in the afternoon
and takes a nap in the warmth....

This creates a beautiful quick bread,,,,,would make a lovely
gift to share with family and friends during the holidays

I am planning the fall garden and am planting something new to me....
while down in Austin, I noticed the most beautiful shrubs with yellow
blossoms which were mixed with pink Lantana....
I fell in love.....

Texas Yellow Bell Bush Trumpet Flower

So, we are still decorating, still making each day special,
still tending to the garden, and so grateful for it all!
