Coffee BBQ Sauce Recipe

 I didn't get to finish my Blog yesterday
ran out of steam..
Light Frost this morning Hate that..

I'm finally sitting in front of the computer.
I seen a Robin today its almost the end of October and their still here.
 I have never seen a Robin past June.
I can never take its picture they are to fast..
And don't hang around long enough.. 

Just had to share on the way to Drury Lane Theatre Wednesday

an old fashioned country church with the cemetery right next to it.,

 and a modern electric sign.

Gotta Love it..

This morning I was on a roll I straightened up the garage getting it ready to put the wicker chairs and fountain parts  in for the winter. we usually put them in the day after Halloween because we know we wont be sitting out all that much in the front.

 We do occasionally because its protected from the weather more than the back.

 If its a really nice day we still have the swing. I don't put the cushion away until later  just in case.. I know you wanted to know all that LOL  I also put all the yard trinkets away.
 That was a project because I had to move things in the shed to put the table in but we did it and so happy about that..

I did leave two chairs out just in case we want to sit in the back if the weather is nice and I know we will be having nice weather its not winter yet.

I covered up my carnations were expecting frost

And stuck them in a corner hope that will help.

Wednesday we went to a play and lunch a Christmas gift that we finally used.
We  were gone all day the play was at Drury Lane in Oak Brook
 Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
 We  seen it years ago and it was so much better at Drury Lane a bigger stage.
 Yesterday was the first time we have ever been to Drury Lane.
We always  went to Candle light or to a Theatre down town. You get spoiled living out here and forget theirs a lot more traffic up north and especially when you don't have a clue where it is, its been a few years since we were up that way, we followed  map quest and that's usually wrong  not this time. It took us right into the parking lot.. We didn't fallow it home and made better time going home because we knew what we were doing on the way back.

The food was excellent and we really enjoyed the meal.
