It is very sad about Ceekay. She was the sweetest lady and I was hoping she could beat that nasty cancer. I fought ovarian cancer twice. I hope there is a cure in the near future. xoxoLinda @ Life and Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210490476537882296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-23248384125409004772015-09-23T23:15:28.322-05:002015-09-23T23:15:28.322-05:00Your decor photos are lovely!

Your readers must enjoy your writing as much as your blog followers do.

I'll bet it's awesome! Love the sweet touches of Fall you've added around your home. Funny, you complain about your huge fireplace mantel, and I complain about mine being so tiny....just like with hair, we are never satisfied! Your recipe sounds delicious, but I think that might be beyond my hubby's cooking skill level, and I'm not doing much cooking these days.

Hope you decide to come to Nashville, our weather right now is gorgeous,sunny and perfect! There's a lot of fun things to do there, if you get a chance, try and hit the Wild Horse Saloon for dinner. It's lots of fun, they have a huge dance floor, live music and the food is good. If you go before 7pm, there's no cover. We always go when my friends from CA come to visit. Don't know how long you're planning on being here, but Franklin is a beautiful town, main street, with lots of shops, and beautiful homes. A lot of country music stars live there and it's not to far from downtown Nashville. Next Fri, Sat, and Sun is the Nashville flea market at the fairgrounds which always has a lot of great stuff, also not far from downtown. We used to get a lot of things for our shop there. Hope I've given you some fun ideas if you've never been here before. Wish you were gonna be here long enough to meet up, would be fun! Looking forward to hearing all about your vacation!<br />RebeccaTown and Country Galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11804650091074234741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-79833899766082118212015-09-18T09:41:11.139-05:002015-09-18T09:41:11.139-05:00I enjoyed reading this.

I found that I really enjoyed the quieter feel to it. I loved seeing all the touches of autumn around your home. I am sorry for the loss of your friend.

Everyone is getting into the fall swing of things and I don't want to be left out! lol! <br />Your vacation plans sound nice. We stayed in a rustic condo, well rustic on the outside, by a lake for ours and we enjoyed it so much. It's so nice just to relax for a few days! Have a wonderful trip! <br />Btw, I've wondered about those white rings around the eyes, too! Must be a concealer that isn't really concealing much. Ha!

What a perfect name for your column, I think your writing style is so warm and informative and somehow personal too, that I can see why he changed the name. I know I'd be interested to read it if I lived at the lake :) I enjoyed your Fall decorating and seeing the banner Carol gave you. She's such a sweet person and it looks perfect there. On a serious note, I'm so sad to hear about your blog friend. I'm so sorry for your loss. She sounds like she was such a special person...also, I sure appreciated your comments on my yoga post.
