It was a rare day with no rain. I took advantage of the late afternoon light to snap this of the other neighbor’s fence and the golden leaves that are just starting to turn. Hopefully there will not be any wind for a few more days and I will get more photo opportunities.
The sun came out this afternoon for a few minutes so I grabbed my camera and took this snapshot. I like the fall colors that are almost at their peak now. It’s nice looking out the bedroom window and seeing these trees in the mornings.
Each December there is an awards event hosted by the M & A Advisors. It’s held in New York City, and this year the date is December 14. New York City is the perfect place to have any big event and that close to Christmas is even more special.
Congratulations to Generational Equity, who have 11 nominations this year!
The cub scouts had a trunk or treat for the kids last night. It was a great opportunity for the kids to get dressed up in their costumes before Halloween and have some fun in a safe and protected environment.
The kids had fun playing some games. They had a little parade so they could strut their stuff in their costumes and win little prizes for the costumes, like funniest, scariest, best makeup, etc. Then then walked through the parking lot were all the adults had buckets of candies in the trunks of their cars, and each kid was rewarded handsomely for stopping by each car for their treats.
When we first got married, we had nothing to put in our apartment. My wife had a few things that she had bought or collected over the years for the kitchen and an assortment nick knacks and pictures. But we had to buy furniture, rugs, lamps and a lot of other stuff, with very little money.
We shopped carefully and looked for ways to save money on every purchase. One thing that really helped was the furniture outlet stores in North Carolina. The furniture manufacturing companies are famous for selling direct to the public from their NC Furniture Outlet warehouses if you going to North Carolina to pick it up. But now, with the internet, you can shop online and don’t even have to drive to North Carolina. Unless you want to.
