Finally, Fall !!! (for a Short Time)

We had rain yesterday and last night !!! Yay !!! Here are the grateful plants on the front porch:

We walked over to the building that houses the HOA for our rental condo, and the ducks, etc, that live in the pond surrounding the building sure were happy.

Isn't this a cool setup for an office?? Our new dentist is in there. On Friday, I went and saw my plastic surgeon, Dr Lawton, for a Botox touch up. Here is my newly line-free forehead.

That stuff works like a charm. I had to sit upright for 4 hours afterwards, which was hard for me because that meant that I couldn't lie down until 10 PM. On Saturday, I got up and went for my weekly run in the park. They were having another crosscountry meet there, so the high school athletes had to weave pass the old lady (me).

My little goose family is still doing well. The two chicks are soooo cute. Mama and Papa are sure on high alert - I couldn't get very close to get a snap of the sweet babies.

They are totally camouflaged between the parents. You can barely make out their spotted bodies. This last shot is of an old lady in a wheelchair. Her son was giving her a push through the park. When they reached the lake, she got out her bag of bread, and was suddenly the most popular gal in town. She loved all the birds coming to her.

When I got home, we decided to go to Phuket Thai for lunch. We planned on spending all afternoon doing household chores, so we needed a treat before starting. We started with Angel Wings - chicken stuffed with pork sausage and glass noodles, then fried and served with cucumbers in sweet and sour sauce.

Of course, we then had Pad Thai. Doc asked the waiter if there was more sauce for it, and the poor kid told us that it was already very delicious. And it was!!! Bad Doc, can't take him anywhere.

We finished with Crying Tiger. That is BBQ'd strips of rib eye steak. It is yummers.

So back to work!!! Today, since it is still sprinkly, I wore a sweater dress combo. By the end of the week, it's supposed to be back in the high 80s. Ugh.

The cascade sweater is nice and thick, and is made by Joan Vass. Underneath, I have a sleeveless dress by Adrienne Vittadini.

                                   I accessorized with my newly found Paloma Picasso belt.

My necklace is one that I repaired over the Labor Day holidays. It has a matching bracelet, which I am wearing on my right arm.

                                    Also on my right hand, a floral ring made of smoky topaz.

On my left arm, my wedding rings, and a rose gold watch/bangle duo (costume) by RJ Graziano.

And the finishing touches?? Tan/black shoes from Neiman Marcus (store label) and my Baby Phat purse.

All this tan and black got a big thumbs up from someone who really knows how to do black and tan right - Elli the Calico Chihuahua !!!
