It has been a great week. A little busy but still good. I did better on getting a picture a day. Goal for next week is to get at least one picture a day. Here is my week.

Okay, I decided to try a gluten free recipe since I have friends/adoptive family that need to eat gluten free. The recipe was gluten free chocolate chip muffins. I followed the directions very carefully & this is what I got

They still taste good - a little gritty tasting but my husband liked them, but look terrible. About 3 hours later while working on my computer it dawned on me that maybe my cornstarch was too old & that was the problem. I went to get the container I used that I thought was my cornstarch & found out it was baking powder instead. So instead of adding 1/4 cup of corn starch, I added a 1/4 cup of baking powder. So I will retry the recipe this week & let you know how it turned out
Wednesday 2 November
This is where I spent my day being a substitute secretary at my church. Our church secretary had to be gone for the day, so I filled in answering the phone & taking messages. A very relaxing day.
Thursday 3 November
Thursday afternoon was spent taking family pictures for friends. They were suppose to be taken outside on their farm but with temps in the 50's & wind blowing 20 to 30mph, we decided to take them inside. This is one of my favorites, unedited. I will post the edited ones next week.
Maria & I found a large mirror & had some fun with it trying different poses & trying to find a room with a good background to reflect back in the mirror. This was the best one. Next time I take her pictures, we are going to take the mirror outside & see what we can do.
Friday 4 November
Of course I had to include one from the deer cam. This was taken Thursday but I didn't have a picture for today. I picked this one because of the wild turkeys.
5 minutes later deer is gone & something has made the turkeys fly/run
Saturday 5 November
My house is over 100 years old. The original parts (5 rooms) all had 10 ft ceilings. I'm glad to say, 3 of the rooms now have 8ft ceilings, but the kitchen & dining room still have 10ft ceilings. In my kitchen I have 2ft of space between the top of my cabinets & ceiling, so I decided to make something to go up their to decorate it. I made a picket fence out of white, thick poster board & put it a the green, floral, foam rectangle. Then I decorate the fence & bottom for the season. I have 4 of these two for each side of my kitchen. I finally was able to decorate my fences for fall/Thanksgiving

I think I need to get some more leaves for this one
This is the two fences on top of my cabinets. Everything is what I bought on sale two years ago except the big scarecrow on the right. I got his this year to add to my scene. He was 50% of f at Hobby Lobby.
Okay, those are my pictures for the week. I can't wait to see the rest of the groups. Have a blessed week.
