Happy December! 🎉
Welcome to the Tales of the Traveling Tote #21
My tote, “Miss Coquille” and I have had a fabulous fall
We kicked off September with a 3 generation family reunion at the beach house
I took Miss Coquille with me to visit CCOG {CC’s other Grandmother}
who was staying at a Rustic Country Farmhouse
Miss Coquille carried the boxed lunches I promised to bring
This was a her friend’s home, but it was like a vintage flea market/museum
There was so much to see!
Can you imagine having a life size bear in your living room?
We did more back and forthing to the beach house
We celebrated a birthday at a super cool new restaurant in “the city”
And enjoyed Mother Nature’s Alabama Autumn Show
We spent many Saturdays watching Bama football on the patio with friends
I filled Miss Coquille with my sketchbook and crochet project
and spent the afternoons outside
And finally the days were cool enough to light the fire
and do a little strumming
Sunday afternoons were spent at the baseball park
Miss Coquille carried a load of table decorations to a friend’s house
where we spent a happy afternoon creating a Thanksgiving tablescape
We had a lovely Thanksgiving week seaside
with mild temps, boating and swimming
We went to lunch at a local favorite, Lulu’s on the intracoastal waterway
Big E and Miss Coquille got carried away posing…
This is such a fun place, Lulu is Jimmy Buffet’s sister…
She brings her own version of cheeseburgers in paradise to Gulf Shores, Alabama
Not to mention her famous Fried Green Tomato BLT 😋
I was hoping to give you a tour of DD’s new house this month…
But the finish date has been moved to Jan 30
There have been changes and delays,
which, considering they tore the entire house down to the concrete slab, is understandable
They are patiently enjoying the process and watching it come together day by day
Stay tuned!
Be sure to visit all my fellow Traveling Totes friends,
they have been all over the world!
