It came and went so fast, but it was fun in-between…
Bradley Cooper dressed up too!

We went to our neighbors house to wait for the Tricker Treaters….

Then they started coming, so cute!
Coop was the greeter!

The cutest family, the Where’s Waldo? Family, look and the baby’s glasses too!

The absolutely cutest baby ever!

A fun night for young and old alike!
If you are like me this election year enough is enough. I was worried sick about either candidate winning. I am not a fan of either. I was afraid of our future.
The truth is it will all be okay. I feel this in my heart.
We need to reach out to each other and help each other with kindness and love. Yes, we should be doing this anyway but now more than ever let’s all reach into our hearts and help everyone!
Our parents, grandparents and great grandparents went through much worse times and they sacrificed and scraped and suffered and loss. We can do this but we have to do it together.
The truth is this, the time we have on this earth goes by in a flash, shouldn’t we make it a good time? a great time? Don’t you feel better when you help someone? Let’s do this then!
Let’s make this election not about the candidates but about us helping each other! Let’s make a difference.

These are all on my street, and I love them!




My neighbor grew a ton of different kinds of peppers this year. Only one is hot and spicy the Habenero. The rest have a great full flavor to them. So, I decided to use one, a purple pepper in my ground turkey mix up for dinner. I take scallions,garlic, carrots, celery, pepper(the purple one), baby bella mushrooms and sauté them then I put in a pound of ground turkey and brown it. I use turmeric, oregano, salt and pepper as spices. Then when the turkey is browned I put in a mixture of water, soy sauce and corn 
Then you get your Bibb Lettuce…
And stuff them with the mixture…

It was delicious! But then leftovers! Woo Hoo! You get your pita and stuff it in there and tada!
oh I added a little ketchup! It was great too! Let me know what you think.


There is a lot to do this October, in Atlanta. This past weekend the last baseball games were played at Turner Field.
So, if you missed that there are still many many new events to attend. There is the GA Mtn Fall Festival, Oct. 7 – 15 in Hiawasee, Atlanta Pride Festival in Piedmont Park this week end the 8th. Great Atlanta Beer Fest at Turner Field on the 8th also. There are Family Halloween Hikes at Chattahoochee Nature Center 10-21,22 and 10-28,29. Oh and Boo at the Zoo on 10-22 and 23 and 10-29, 30.
Amy Schummer is going to be at Phillips Arena on the 15th!Bonnie Raitt will be at the Fox Theater on the 22nd. Wow, Adele is going to be at Phillips Arena on the 28th and 29th.
Carol Burnett will be at Cobb Energy Center on the 24th. There is so much going on. I didn’t even include all of the football. UGA, GA Tech, the Falcons. If you want to do something fun, this is a great month to do it all!
To start, you put a ziplock bag in your fridge and every time you have a veggies left from chopping something, like a little leftover carrots, or half of an onion, part of a stalk of celery, or a hunk of zucchini oh and the stalk off of the broccoli. Then, you get a rotisserie chicken. Have some chicken for a meal then clean the chicken off of the bones. Put the chicken away and put the bones in a pot with the bag of veggies you have been collecting. Cover the carcass and veggies with chicken broth and water. Put the temp on high and once it starts boiling you can turn it down but keep it boiling, you will need to keep adding water.
After the second hour of boiling the vegetables will start to disintegrate. I usually put in an onion, two stalks of celery, some carrots and then whatever you have collected. I take my wooden spoon and smash the vegetables on the side of the pot. After the third hour you have pretty much gotten all the “goodness” out of the bones and veggies, as far as spices along the way, I always use italian spices and lemon pepper and turmeric (I try and put this in everything, it is so great for you!)
You can then freeze the broth, or build on it for your next meal.
