Week in Review: Week 88
Started the week last Sunday with another day-trip, this time up to 7 Lakes Drive in Harriman State Park with a couple little detours to Croton Dam and Sing-Sing Prison.
But first, donuts 🙂
The foliage was just about to hit peak…
We had dinner at a cute place on a marina…
That was also five minutes from Sing-Sing Prison.
Caleb had stayed at my ex’es for two days and when I picked him up he had an upset tummy…that lasted all week. Poor boy. Poor Mom, mopping all through the day and night.
Found some pretty foliage spots right in my own backyard (figuratively).
Got sucked in involved with an online photography challenge of posting a black and white photo of my life every day. Four days to go.
One of my outfits-of-the day. This one has a little story that goes along with it, if you don’t follow me on Instagram…I was browsing in a plus size store that afternoon and there’s a girl and a guy looking through the racks near me. I hear the guy say “what about this?” And the girl goes, “are you kidding me? Who puts a big girl in stripes?” So I stepped into the aisle where they were right next to me and said, “uh, hello?!” Ha. She looked a little embarrassed and tried to backtrack by saying yeah but those are skinny stripes look at the one he’s holding its wide stripes” (like THAT matters!) and I just said WEAR WHAT YOU LIKE!!! and went about my day. I considered it my little teachable moment.
I puppy-sat a couple nights.
I had dinner out with a friend one night…and am working on this week’s vlog…and that’s the week! Next week, HALLOWEEN…and setting the clocks back, ugh.
Hope you’re enjoying the season!

Thanks for taking us along on your day trips. I love seeing different parts of the country. Even if it’s humdrum to you, I’m still interested. It’s also nice to see Caleb out and about. And good for you for talking to that younger woman. I don’t even think about stripes anymore. It’s old, outdated, bad advice. Happy Halloween!

Yeah, I’m happy to say I don’t think about *any* fashion rules anymore…just what makes ME feel happy and comfortable! Happy Halloween back at’cha!
