Hello everyone! Fall is here but the heat is still sticking around a little bit. We are finally having a few cooler mornings. Today's high was 84 and it was so lovely!! HAHA! Compared to 105. :)
I took my first early morning for the fall today. I enjoyed getting out to walk. I haven't been able to walk or get much out of the home lately.
Here are some photos I took to today to remember the first week of autumn. I hope you enjoy a walk this week yourself.
“It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.” — Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost
“And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves…” — Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
“Fall colors are funny. They’re so bright and intense and beautiful. It’s like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.” — Siobhan Vivian, Same Difference
“There is something incredibly nostalgic and significant about the annual cascade of autumn leaves.” — Joe L. Wheeler
Update on Derrick
His follow up with his surgeon was good and he has been giving a green light to do a little lighter activity paced slowly and well balanced. He is feeling much better and getting stronger by the day. The biopsy showed a better result as far as the stage than we all including the doctors expected. He was originally diagnosed with stage 3 but they have dropped that to stage 2a which is wonderful. He will go to the oncologist Monday for further discussion about treatment options or monitoring.
UPDATE for myself...
I am relaunching my Pampered Chef business. Some of you know that I have sold Pampered Chef for years and have even been a customer in the past of mine. If you ever need anything I would love to help you. I have prayed long and hard about this. We need the extra income during this time to supplement with the medical bills and etc. I cannot currently work out of the home, so this seems like a good fit. I will not bombard you with this or mention it often, but I will share my link to my launch party (Party Shop Page) if anyone is interested or needs anything. From here on out I will have my link on my sidebar if you ever need anything you can shop any time from my personal website.
I would love to invite you to my Launch my BIZ online party that you can join at any time starting today!!! If you have any questions, email me (chrissytownsend22@icloud.com) I would greatly appreciate your support! :)
** FUTURE Regular BLOG POSTS WILL BE TUESDAY & FRIDAY** There could be more post here and there weekly but setting days will help me stay connected to you all and help me during this time. I miss blogging and I miss visiting you all. I think having days set will help me.
With Love,
Chrissy T

Your Photos today are gorgeous and I love the quotes you shared. The one about the brown sugar cobbler crust and the stockpile of colors are so good!
I'm so happy to hear the update on Derrick. An answer to prayer, for sure.
I love Pampered Chef and have a lot of it, don't know if I need anything but will check your party. And if I do need something, I know who to check with!
Thank you so much, Mari!!!!! :)
Great news for Derrick. Loving the Fall colors. Nothing up here yet to write about. Good luck with your new business. Janice
What a lovely walk and wonderful photos! I do love all the fall colours.
That is fantastic news about Derrick. What a relief!
Good luck with the relaunch of your business!
That's an excellent result and you must be so very grateful. Pampered Chef has some very good products.I hope it goes well for you.
Beautiful photos! and I love the quotes. Fall is my favorite season.
I’m so glad to hear the update on your husband. That is good news, indeed. I understand how blogging can be a connection in good times and in the hard times. Looking forward to your updates.
I am so happy to find out the outcome of Derrick's dr. visit.
God is good and of course I will continue to pray for him and you too.
I love Pampered Chef and have well loved pieces of it, especially some knives that are wonderful.
I hope your return to the business will go really well and will increase your income at this crucial time.
Wish I could purchase some items but at this time money is more than tight. God willing , I will be able to do some in a while.
Love your walk, the leaves and the quotes you choose.
(((hugs)))

Lovely pictures and so glad you got out for a walk. Happy to hear of Derricks progress. God is good!! I have quite a few things from Pampered Chef!!
Chrissy, that is good news about your husband. It was nice to see the nature in your area, especially during this great season of fall. That single golden leaf photo is so pretty. It will be fun to sell the Pampered Chef items again. I have been to a few parties over the years. I wish you well with that, Chrissy. And have a splendid October coming up.
What a praise! Such a good follow-up appointment...and the new staging. Will be praying for the oncologist appointment. Glad you were able to get out in nature a bit. Such pretty photos! And all the best with your business. Sounds exactly actually!!
So glad you were able to enjoy a fall walk, Chrissy! The photos and quotes are beautiful. Wonderful news about Derrick’s progress -- such a relief. Wishing you all the best with Pampered Chef, I know you’ll do great!
I'm so thankful to hear a great update on your husband! And so glad you got out for a walk! we were in the 70s this week which was amazing, but we are back up to the high 80s by the end of this week, but like you, its not in the 90s so I'm thankful for what we can get!
I also LOVE pampered chef, and the stoneware are my favorite items. I have the baking dish in two sizes, and my kids don't even want cookies unless I can make them on the stoneware. I also love my little utensils. Basically everything pampered chef is great in my book!
I'm glad you're able to post more often! I've been trying hard to stick it out with blogging, its a challenge sometimes after taking so much time off, but when I stick it out, its so good for me mentally! :) Have a great week!
Pampered Chef is the BEST! I will for sure order!
Yay for getting out for a walk and that is wonderful news about your husband too. I am climbing the walls since it started raining Friday and hasn't stopped yet. I nearly debated donning my raincoat and going for a walk anyway but the wind was causing lots of limbs and leaves and debris to drop everywhere so I thought I should probably wait.
Getting out for a fall walk is always a good idea. My husband and I have been taking some fun fall bike rides. I didn't know your husband was ill. I'm glad he got a better health diagnosis.
Dearest Chrissy,
I'm so glad to be here today reading the lovely quotes which accompany your beautiful shots.
And it is with a big joy that I read the good news you wrote, both about Derrick and your new business.
May your days to come be blessed with Love

Such an incredible post to read, Chrissy! So thankful that Derrick is home and I know you are giving him such amazing care and support. PC is such an incredible company, and I am so excited about your new adventure! Praying always for you and your family! Your fall pictures are gorgeous - oh how I love the colors of fall! You shared some beautiful quotes! Many blessings to you!
Oh that's such good news about your husband! So glad you were able to get out and enjoy the weather. I know it's been a long haul...and Pampered Chef? They have some great stuff. My favorite glass bowls for storage and baking are from them. I'll have to keep it in mind!!
Hope you and your husband had a good weekend. Pray he is continuing to make good recovery...and that you both are feeling stronger...and encouraged. Just wanted to say hey:)
Hello! I am so happy to read of your husband's Good report! Praise God! And I love Pampered Chef! Have a cozy evening, my friend.
