jack'd up

a little pumpkin patch moment
ian says our pumpkin is "all jack'd up"

probably b/c the guys used power tools to "carve"

and it went industrial - spiked w/ nails and wire

office views

today our "office" was 5 floors up

beachside in melbourne

crisp weather finally!!

the guys always love this sort of day

b e a u t i f u l

fam enjoyed first brisk evening @ DTDisney this weekend

santa fe

fall always takes me back to our month in SANTA FE, NM

aren't these colors warm and cozy

we were doing hotel renno's at the LaPosada in historic downtown..

which was featured that year as one of the top 10 spa hotels

the hotel was partially shut down b/c of renovations

so

i made myself nosey and poked everywhere i could

mmm, their citrus spa soap was to die for

i brought some of them home !!!

each room is unique and has quite expensive local art pieces for sale

i definately did not take any of THAT home

they also have kiva wood burning stoves in each room

and include stoking a fire for nightly turn down service

indian influences saturate the city

black birds are everywhere in local art

the rich colors that remind me of fall

and religious homage

make SANTA FE feel very spiritual

this is called the "abbey road" of SANTA FE

every where you look..its about the art culture

we visited o'keeffes museum

you gotta love a gal who rides the deserts with young men at this age

georgia girl, you rock!!

said all that to say

today i break out the leather espadrilles bought as we left town

..my old shoe friends..

laced with sweet memories

wouldn't you love it too, if while holding hands out of town, your sweet guy says

ARE YOU SURE THERE ISN'T SOMETHING SPECIAL YOU WANT TO TAKE HOME?

swing this truck around dude, park right there...yeah THERE

there you have it..

and now you know ..wink

autumn art

festival in winter park and aveda "copper" hair
