A return from my brief hiatus...

I've finally returned from a brief hiatus from blogging. No reason other than I've been a busy bee!!

To re-cap, my parents came down for the weekend for Alabama's homecoming. To say it was frigid, might have been an understatement. It felt more like December for the 6:45 kick-off! Needless to say, the Tide pulled off and ugly "W" that made their rankings hop up to #1 in the country. My parent's had a great time and I enjoyed their company when Chase went to stand and watch the game in his "quiet place" as I like to call it.

Sunday, my dear friend Amy and I took our pups to Birmingham's new and first ever dog park. If you live in the area and are a dog owner, this is a MUST! Winston and Ruthie (his fellow schnauzer gal pal) had a ball running and sniffing around with new friends! Located in George Ward Park off Green Springs, the park holds two large fenced in areas. One for large dogs and one for small. It was so funny to watch them play. They acted like little children would at the park...both a little timid, they hung close to mom before venturing off. A few wild dogs would run over and try to coax them into a little game of chase and they would run off. Every few minutes they would run over to check in with us, let them know about their new friends and take off again. To see pictures by the Birmingham News, click here!

I hope everyone is enjoying their fall weather! I will be back soon to share some of my new recipes and Halloween decorations in the coming days! Enjoy your Monday!
