The Best Favorite Things Friday!!

I'm a little slow on the Friday Favorites this week but this is the best one ever!

I'd like to introduce you to Madelyn Louise. She arrived at 1:12 Friday afternoon, after a long 15 year wait by her parents, my daughter Laurie and her proud Daddy, Chris.
She even has her Daddy's red hair as we all hoped she would.
She weighs 7'8", is 21 inches long and has a good set of lungs.

Daddy was pretty shaky after she arrived but Mommy and Maddy are both doing great!

As much as I'm not ready for snow, I must admit it is beautiful!

I'm heading out to my favorite weekend of the year!

I'm going to Allegheny State Park for our annual family camping trip. We have been going to Allegheny for a Columbus Day family picnic for close to 30 years. We started out with about 20 aunts and cousins and now it is just my kids and granddaughters. Five years ago we decided to spend the weekend and we all love it!

A couple years ago I bought a lightening rod at a flea market for my garden. This year something tipped it over and broke the glass ball. The balls are hard to find and quite expensive. Last weekend I went to a 'gigantic sale' and 'pickers paradise' that was not as great as I expected. I was pleasantly surprised to notice a lightening rod, with a couple extra rods and 2 glass balls. I made a low offer and got it all for half what I paid for the first one! I decided to put one on each end of my new front garden and vintage fence.
One has a clear purple ball and one a milk glass purple. I not only love them but love that I got such a good deal!
