Simple Pleasures

Well, Fall has arrived. I really like to see the changing leaves. I've come to the conclusion that my favorite Fall leaf color are the yellow ones even though the reds are gorgeous too but the yellow seem gentler and just speak hope to me.
I can't believe Fall is here though. I can't believe that in three months the year will be over. At the end of November it'll be a year since I came down with anxiety & depression ... this part went by a little slow for me. I'm still on medication for it but I am hoping to wean off it in the near future. God willing.

The days are crisp and at times chilly. Occasionally, we've had days in the low 70's but the temps quickly drop back into the 60's which feels nice. Crisp weather has us craving more coffee; a peppermint white chocolate mocha for me and a pumpkin spice latte for Jacob ... oh, and upon Riley's request he wanted me to also say that he likes a kids hot chocolate, lol.

Like I posted several weeks back, the milk chocolate from Seattle Chocolates brand is so darn good, very creamy. I'm assuming that they change their chocolate wrappers often. Once Labor Day past I noticed halloween wrappers on their chocolates. I bought myself one and got Jacob the milk chocolate with pumpkin spice. You guys should really give these a try, just go to Seattle chocolates.com online and order.

My sister loves Riley's crafts so knowing we would be making halloween crafts she asked us if we could send a few of his crafts to her. Riley loves to work on crafts so it was easy to get him to do several crafts at once.

Not sure how Riley can play the Wii laying like this let alone be comfortable, and Jacob didn't seemed to mind either.

It occurred to me that we hadn't been to the farmers market yet so two weekends ago we finally went. I was bummed that the mexican food stand wasn't there. We went to the information stand and asked about it and we were told that they hadn't been to the market all summer long. Oh well. Jacob got me caramel kettle korn and we headed over to the pier. So pretty. I love to stare out at the water.

Since our initial plan to eat at the farmers market didn't work out we then went to a BBQ joint that Jacob had been wanting to go to for some time. Unfortunately, we both agreed that even Famous Dave's pulled pork and brisket sandwiches were tastier. We did notice that most people here were getting their pork ribs so maybe that's their specialty.

Riley enjoyed the complimentary ice cream cone he got. It was actually pretty good. On to continue our search for good BBQ.
