I'm hoping to get back to it more often.<br /><br />This morning was such a fun morning! The group instructors from our O'Fallon, IL Golds Gym held a Danceathon to raise money for breast cancer. We truly have the best gym and wonderful instructors here! The classes offered are great and so much fun! I love the energy and the people! They are all super, fun, awesome friends to be around and always have a blast! I am very thankful to be a part of this awesome gym community.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ZsvLOcZVKc/TfOuVVpeZaI/AAAAAAAAEvs/R3alrGf9okE/s1600/Susan%2BG.%2BKomen.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 205px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ZsvLOcZVKc/TfOuVVpeZaI/AAAAAAAAEvs/R3alrGf9okE/s320/Susan%2BG.%2BKomen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617024841872729506" border="0" /></a>So at 8:30 this morning everyone arrived ready to dance and have a good time.

From simple things to unrealistic, unnecessary things. Well, lately I have been dreaming and I'll show you some of the things I've dreamed about after I show you some things that I am enjoying this Fall season. I also want to share a yummy looking recipe I want to try from this great new cookbook I bought.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">This Gooseberry Patch Autumn with Family and Friends</span> cookbook has so many great recipes.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKO94h6etUI/AAAAAAAAEgw/_887akGoPyA/s1600/DSCN0441.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKO94h6etUI/AAAAAAAAEgw/_887akGoPyA/s320/DSCN0441.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522466346960336194" border="0" /></a>Here is one I would like to try~<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">Pumpkin-Sausage Penne</span><br /><br />8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, cubed <br />16 oz. penne pasta cooked<br />2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese <br />16 oz. pkg. maple flavored ground pork sausage, browned and drained.<br />1/2 cup butter, sliced <br />1/2 cup milk <br />1 cup canned pumpkin <br />1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper<br />Optional: additional grated Parmesan cheese<br />nutmeg to taste<br /><br />Combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, butter and milk in a large saucepan. Cook over low heat until cream cheese is melted, stirring frequently. Stir in pumpkin and spices, cook until heated through, stirring occasionally. Add cooked pasta and sausage, toss lightly. Serve topped with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. Makes 8 servings.<br /><br />It may sound weird to some of you, but it sounds delicious to me! :)<br /><br /><br />Now here are a few things I am loving so far this Fall.<br /><br />My handmade cozy slipper socks that a friend gave me as a gift. They are just perfect for chilly mornings and evenings.

I actually haven't even thought about it for months, but I still hop on here to check out other blogs almost every day. It is such a beautiful chilly day here. I am so glad! I have really been looking forward to cooler weather. I just went for a nice walk/jog this morning at a park near here and the wind was actually a little too chilly, but it's better than hot, miserable, and sweaty any day!<br /><br />I pulled out some of my Fall things the other day. I also bought some cute little gourds to use in my room. I am loving all the white and soft green pumpkins and gourds this year! I would love to buy tons of them! I don't have a whole lot of room to decorate, but I did add a couple of Fall touches to my bedroom. I really like these two little pumpkins on my pie safe~<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKDUNWs0VHI/AAAAAAAAEdQ/M7_hAaNxiv4/s1600/DSCN0432.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKDUNWs0VHI/AAAAAAAAEdQ/M7_hAaNxiv4/s320/DSCN0432.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521646469053174898" border="0" /></a>Here is my farm table desk where I added the gourds and some bittersweet~<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKDUNAwK7mI/AAAAAAAAEdI/CBGJH1jxZnA/s1600/DSCN0425.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKDUNAwK7mI/AAAAAAAAEdI/CBGJH1jxZnA/s320/DSCN0425.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521646463161658978" border="0" /></a>I ended up writing "Oh Great Pumpkin, Where are you?" on my chalkboard above the table. That was my sister <a href="http://thepatriothomeplace.blogspot.com/">Kim's</a> suggestion:) (sorry, no pic). You can see my little 1803 Pilgrim Harvest candle below.

This place has waaay too many wonderful things. Lot's of Colonial items. I'll be honest, I was not tempted to buy anything since I am no longer decorating with Colonial or Primitive items, but I do love looking at them:) This is an awesome store~<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKC_4EHl_LI/AAAAAAAAEcY/TBBWZGhdb30/s1600/DSCN0410.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKC_4EHl_LI/AAAAAAAAEcY/TBBWZGhdb30/s320/DSCN0410.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521624113055399090" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKC95oHtAwI/AAAAAAAAEcQ/UsIEoMYCobs/s1600/DSCN0408.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKC95oHtAwI/AAAAAAAAEcQ/UsIEoMYCobs/s320/DSCN0408.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521621940876149506" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKC95VGSq9I/AAAAAAAAEcI/hlC33ln-vMc/s1600/DSCN0407.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKC95VGSq9I/AAAAAAAAEcI/hlC33ln-vMc/s320/DSCN0407.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521621935769955282" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKC94-AVY8I/AAAAAAAAEcA/NaR_tSxCAH0/s1600/DSCN0406.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKC94-AVY8I/AAAAAAAAEcA/NaR_tSxCAH0/s320/DSCN0406.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521621929570952130" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKC94k9AStI/AAAAAAAAEb4/GKudsJQ13HY/s1600/DSCN0405.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_222DCNIL22E/TKC94k9AStI/AAAAAAAAEb4/GKudsJQ13HY/s320/DSCN0405.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521621922846100178" border="0" /></a>We had such a fun day that included some yummy ghetto coffee from QT(ha ha), a delicious lunch, fun browsing in shops, and beautiful weather! I look forward to another trip there hopefully in November. Oh and I did not buy anything at all, but there was one item that I regret not buying. I may even go back and see if it's there sometime next week. It was the most adorable gray hat with a gray flower pinned on it. Sooo cute! I want it! Maybe it will still be there. Okay, that's all for this post. I'm off to drink my cup of Earl Grey Tea. Have a wonderful Monday!CozyGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14133157762073508866noreply@blogger.com5
