Zoo Name Correction
I typed the name of the zoo wrong in my blog yesterday. Just wanted to correct: Mill Mountain Zoo in Roanoke, VA.

Home Sweet Home
What is it about home that we all love to come back to it? It does not matter how far away I go or who or what I go to see, I always love to come home again. Could it be our own bed, our pets, or just the fact that home is where we can just "be". It fits us and it is comfort. I loved my visit with my daughter, son-in-law and that wonderful grandson, but getting home was sweet too. Mom and I had a great time in VA. Mostly we just chilled out at the house due to rainy weather, but did manage to get to the Millhouse Zoo in Roanoke, VA. Little one had such fun with the animals and riding the train (his favorite thing to do).
After lunch I thought we were heading back to the house, but my daughter reminded me that I had wanted to visit Black Dog Salvage (from Salvage Dawgs on DIY network) if I ever got to Roanoke. I immediately said let's do it! After getting lost, we finally arrived and took in all the awesome things their store offered. As we were leaving I told her to drive around the block as I wanted to take a picture of the store sign. Who happened to be outside the store? Mike and Sally (black dog). I asked for their photo and he also had someone take one of me, him and Sally. He is just as he appears on the show, genuine, no pretense. I hope to go back again when I can shop longer.
My daughter had a birthday this week so we had to celebrate!! I baked a heart-shaped chocolate cookie which her husband decorated with an owl (her favorite thing right now). We cooked her favorite comfort food of chopped steak, gravy, biscuits, rice & asparagus. Stuffed is an understatement---we pigged out! Fun time, especially for her.
Due to the cooler weather, the leaves were starting to turn on the way home and getting off the interstate for awhile led to a great place for lunch that had a super gluten-free menu. A little further down the road, a roadside stand with fresh apples, and cheap. Sooooo good! Memories and pictures will go a long way in helping us to savor the trip. Hope to do it again soon-- I already miss them. I pray that all of you are having a fantastic fall! Did a little decorating before I left. Now, back to work tomorrow creating Christmas things to sell.

Virginia Bound
Can't wait to see my daughter, son-in-law and grandson this next week! So excited! Traveling to VA this time of year is always a pretty drive. Leaves will be turning the further north we get which will be great eye candy and make the drive seem a little shorter. You see, I don't like to stay on the interstate but since it is the shortest distance, I do. Just once I would like to not be in a hurry and just wander along country roads. It seems strange to me, but Highway 11 actually goes all the way from our house to their house! I'm going to do that one day when I have loads of time. My Mom will be going with me this time for her first visit to their home. There are so many antique and thrift stores I will be passing by. Maybe next time.
By the way, I have completely sold out of Auburn Colored Scarfs/Necklaces. So happy to make more so keep ordering! My Etsy experience has been slow so far. I have to keep reminding myself that I have only been there for less than a month. According to our web meeting this week with Etsy, it takes a lot longer to get established. I'll keep waiting and keep adding to my listings. In the meantime, visit my Etsy store and "like" some of the things or just "like" my store - www.etsy.com/shop/acornhillhome. I'll be doing shows in our area so if you hear of a good one, let me know. You can add a comment to this posting by joining Google+. I would love to hear from you. Also, you can post to Acorn Hill Home Facebook....join that too!
Grandson from last fall. He has grown so much!
