"Sunday, Sunday" on "Monday, Monday"

I am going to try and re-create my post from last night

I have gotten over my trauma and I am ready to write!!!!

I began by telling everyone that I hoped that had

a wonderful Halloween

This was a picture I took at Tinsel Trading last week and

saved to post "today"

This was the first time in several years that we did not go

trick 'o treating with the kids

The timing just did not work out but here they are in

their costumes...

Ellie was Wendy from Peter Pan...

Marlie was Peter Pan....

They had a great time and got lots of candy!!!

Michael and I had a great day

I had promised him we would spend the whole day

together since five out of the last seven

Saturdays have been spent without him

doing stuff related to "art" and "crafting"

It was definitely his turn

We got up early and left the house and went to the

Golden Nugget Flea Market

There were not as many goodies as when I went three weeks ago

but i managed to find a couple of good finds

I did take some nice pictures

Very interesting gourds...

more gorgeous cabbage...

I must say Michael found this picture....

is this so cute???

We left the flea market and drove to New Hope

We parked our car right in front of this charming home

so perfectly manicured

and this tree was next door and I loved it's natural beauty...

We walked right to Starbucks (me) and Dunkin Donuts (him)

From there we walked around town for about two hours

What a pleasure to walk around without the crowds

Many of the stores were not open but that was OK!!

We discovered that going early is a BIG plus

There was a different feel to everything and I

took some amazing pictures

I would LOVE to have a porch like this

the following pictures need NO narration....

we were almost at the edge of "town" and we saw this

across the street so we crossed over to take a picture

how cool...

then we saw a flight of steps so we walked up and

this is what we found...

there are not words to describe the beauty of this

it is the old Delaware Canal that has been kept "in tact"

I cannot tell you how many times we have been to New Hope

and we have never seen this

It was wonderful and probably because there were no crowds

and we were walking with a different purpose

Walking back we saw this in a window

A mannequin decorated with pieces from Candyland

and...

giant button candy

This picture is from a store where we bought

Marlie and Ellie each a Chanukah present

The picture has nothing to do with the gift

We just thought it was a cool picture

This store was not open

if they had been I probably would have bought this...

walking back there were these amazing sights...

We walked back to the car and then drove over the bridge

into Lambertville and had brunch at...

it was delicious

This cool trunk was right behind Michael's chair...

a few more great photo op's...

We left Lambertville and took a leisurely drive towards

Montgomery Township where we were going to a movie

Along the ride we saw this...

and this...

Some of the wonderful "sights" you see when you take

a drive in the country

So this is the movie we went to see

in case you cannot read the title it is

"Mao's Last Dancer"

I am telling you RUN, do not walk, to see this movie

Michael was only going to appease me because he

knew I wanted to see it

He never thought it was going to be good or that

he would like it in the least

HE LOVED IT!!!!

There were several adorable children ringing our doorbell for candy

I retired to bed by 9:30

Watched some quality TV

The Giants won!!

It was a great day

I hope you all had a great Halloween

and a nice new November and Monday!!!

I leave you with this...
