It seems that Fall really flew by this year,
and here we are December 1!
It’s time for more adventures of the Traveling Tote!
We are a group that share a love of MacKenzie-Childs
We all have the same large Courtly Check tote bag
We post about where our totes have been every 3 months
and host a giveaway which you can enter at the end of this post
Miss Coquille, Hello Gorgeous, and I didn’t do much traveling this fall,
Just to the beach for Labor Day weekend and Thanksgiving…
Some of our extended family joined us for Labor Day weekend
which has become an annual tradition
We were missing part of our group,
but the pool was pretty maxed out anyway!
My son in law taught the cousins how to fish off the pier
There were many boat rides
and 3 days packed with fun to wind up summer
We had a lovely and mild Fall,
Our hibiscus bloomed until early November!
I went back to my favorite store and got a few pumpkins
to add to my collection
You can never have too many pumpkins!
Skellie had some Halloween fun on the patio
The Alabama chapter of the Traveling Totes,
Emily, Ricki Jill and I,
met at a favorite restaurant for lunch in early November
Then it was back to the beach for Thanksgiving week
Super Teen and Big E played a lot of “sand golf”
They are avid golfers, hunters and fishermen
One day they sat on the pier and fished in the rain~
that’s dedication!
Charlie Brown and Big E did a couple of “polar bear” dips
The water was pretty cold!
They kept doing it though!
DD and CC & I just watched them
DD & CC
The swimmers warmed up with a sun bath on the boat
HHjr surprised the kids with a ping pong table
It’s in the garage under the house
and can be folded up and rolled out of the way for storage
They will enjoy it year round
Lunch at the Flora Bama Yacht Club is always fun
Then it was back to the city and time to start decorating!
