Hello! 
How is everyone doing today? I can tell you one thing, I am enjoying the cooler weather as much as I can with the windows open until this weekend when it warms back up for a couple of days.
This past weekend I had so much fun for my birthday! We went to Charlotte, NC for the Greek Festival! It was rather cool in the city and that was the main reason we wanted to go! It was so good with yummy food, watching dancers, seeing all the priest garbs in the church and having fun with an old friend from college! It was so nice to catch up and relax outside where it feels amazing! Oh how I wish it would stay mild and in the high 60’s all winter! I am so ready to pull my favorite sweaters out of hiding and put all my maroon on!
As you can see I have a little bit of an obsession with pumpkin, but it only happens once a year, so in my mind it’s okay. When I was a child my mom loved to make apple anything so I think I have steered away from apples (but I still love apples don’t worry!). It wasn’t until later in life that my mom started making a lot more pumpkin baked goods like pumpkin cookies, which will be up tomorrow on Mattie’s Pantry! …
