Beautiful picture, Carol, and a very moving song. It made me think of my Dad.

Let's hear it for Carol for hosting another great party!

Since this is the last day of October, here's a fitting song. Barry Manilow's When October Goes. Music by Barry, lyrics by Johnny Mercer.

Yeah Carol!!!!! Now let's get ready for Thanksgiving. Yummy!

Yes - Thank you, Carol! I'm enjoying this a lot. Thank you for your work to make everything look so great!

I can't listen to either song right now, but when things are quiet a little later, I'll come back and play them both.

Thank you! But a party's not a party without the people so thanks to all of you who participate and it's really fun to see the avatars, sigs, food, drinks and other stuff people bring to it. :woohooo:

So this applause is to all of us ... harvest of friends!

Great party, Carol! Thank you!!!!

I just came from my own 'harvest' party at my sister's house. I just finished eating a popcorn ball! Haven't had one of those in years!

I was just thinking of those things. Our dance teachers used to hand them out at Christmas time when I was a kid. And now that Halloween is over I can start planning for Christmas. :CoolSign:

Just dropped in to pick up my Cider jugs. Looks like you guys cleaned me out!




Wish I could have stayed!

Thanks Carol for the Wonderful Party

Hey gang!

Been kind of busy lately... but I wanted to bump up the Harvest Party so we can all have a good time. I'll be decorating the forum as the day goes because I'm at work right now so I can't do too much... but at least we have the party started!

Oh! I almost forgot the pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting! Help yourself!

That cake looks soooo good!

With all those sweets here we'll need to take a ride to work off the calories.



Then we can have some S'mores to go.

Anyone for pumpkin soup?

I brought some doughnuts. Is there any hot cider left?

Cheryl, your soup looks yummy.

Who wants to help me rake up some leaves?

Our landscaper came today. I almost felt guilty watching them work, then I remembered what a difficult time I had trying to do it last year and sat back down with another cup of tea.

I'll share some with you:



I'm the one deep in thought.

Ah, your tea party sounds lovely Cheryl!


Goodness, I'm a little late to the party! Better late than never!

I found a neat table centerpiece I want to try! I'm in the mood for crafting!




How about a trip to the cider mill?



Afterwards we could all go on a hayride together!




Here's one of my favorite fall goodies...baked apples! Enjoy!

Sign me up for the hayride. I've got two bags of apples here so we can do a bit of bobbing.



And that craft looks like something even I could handle.
