October has a lot to Celebrate!!

     October is a month of celebrations. Not only does October kick off the Holiday season by being the time of year for all of the Harvest Festivals and, of course, the fun dress up time of Halloween, October is also national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, National Chili Month, National Dessert Month, National Pasta Month, National Roller Skating Month and Adopt-a-Shelter Dog Month. Whew!! That's a whole lot of reasons to celebrate.
      Three years ago this month I celebrated Adopt-a-Shelter Dog Month by bringing home my very beautiful Pit Bull mix Rosie. She has been a wonderful addition to my household. I can't remember what my life was like without her. She brings so much love and fun into my life.

Rosie's favorite thing to do is lay with her head in my lap.

Rosie loves playing Frisbee and ball. I'm not quite sure how she knows where she's going. Lol.

The Rose is not a morning dog. I can't get her out of bed in the mornings.

     My plan this month is to celebrate as many of the monthly events as possible but this past week has been very hectic and I've not done anything. My mother was staying with my daughter while she recuperated from surgery but my daughter had a virus hit her household so my mother came to stay with me. To make a long story short this week has been physically and emotionally draining. I'm taking her home tomorrow so I am hoping that I can get back on track with my plans for the Holidays.
      I have begun to decorate the outside of my house for Autumn/Thanksgiving. I'll make a few changes to show my Halloween Spirit next week. I have to get a couple of items and I'll have my outside complete. I have to take the pool down and I'm sad about that. Doing that makes it more real that summer is over. But before I know it, the warm weather will be back again.
      Stayed tuned for the ways that I'll be celebrating all of the great things this month. I have some good plans to carry out. I hope you'll share with me some of the ways you plan on celebrating October.
