Oak Tree-True & Brave
I thought I'd share this post from The True & Brave. http://trueandbrave.com/Oak-Tree
I do believe Josh Abe is one of the most eloquent writer of today or maybe he writes of the things that touch my soul. Either way I'm drawn to share this post. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Our Halloween
My little Ninja Warrior
You can see Petey trying to get in on the karate action.
Hey! I hope everyone enjoyed a safe and adventurous Halloween night. We changed up this year and didn't go trick or treating. Alot of the reason behind that decision was because Jack has been sick most of the week. Yesterday was the first day he had went to school this week and by the time he had got home I had to do a little coaxing to get any excitement out of him at all. So we opted to go to the Walmart, get some halloweeny movies and make cookies and eat pizza.
All in all we still had a fun time. Jack had worn his costume to school and partied with his class. He wore his costume to Walmart and still got loaded up on candy that the store associates were handing out.
Don't worry..
Jack has been in ninja mode for a week. This costume has had it's fun.
No...
I'm ashamed...I didn't make the cookies from scratch. Well not really ashamed. Pillsbury makes a pretty good peanut butter cookie. Yummy with coffee.
Yes...
We picked cheap movies out of the $5.00 been. Jack really wanted Scooby-Doo and the Pirates the most but he fell asleep before he got to it. He also was excited about Despicable Me's, Minion Madness- Three mini-movies. It was very cute but they weren't kidding when they said mini. I picked The Goonies. He loved that one. I also picked Where The Wild Things Are. I really enjoyed this book when I was a kid but honestly this movies was so disturbing to us we had to cut it off. I really could write a whole posting about how awful I thought this movie was but I guess I would have to watch the whole thing to be objective.
I don't think I can or will.
We had fun. I hope ya'll had fun.
Thanks for the visit!

Good Mornin' Monday
Good Monday morning to all of you. After last weeks 80 degree weather the 40 degree's this morning will get ya moving a little quicker or maybe wish you could curl in the covers just a little longer. Word from on the mountain is that they had alittle light dust of snow and also some spits of ice. Ooh ..glad I'm here at the foot of the mountain.
The weekend came and went in a hurry around here. Jack played his last flag football game of the season, Alisha had a band competition and Tori starred in the One Act Plays. I had intention of getting up to Mabry Mill and getting some pics of the beautiful foliage but it's just been to hectic around here. By looking at the trees right here I don't think there's many leaves left. Once the leaves had started turning they we're already fallen.
Halloween this Wednesday and then on to Thanksgiving. I've been reminded by a fellow blogger that Christmas is only a very few weeks away. Very few...like..eight. For all you well planned folks out there I do commend you but it ain't me. Some of that is because I won't put up any decorations or movement towards Christmas until after Thanksgiving. We must be thankful first! After working in big box retail for almost twelve years and it's made me a little cynical over the commercialized chaos that usually surrounds Christmas.
For me I look forward to the family gatherings, homemade wreaths, smells of cinnamon and pine and the Christmas pageants. Maybe we'll have a little snow this winter season.
With all that being said, here are a few pics from the weekend.
Thanks for stopping by
