A lovely flower in the fall, chrysanthemums bring color to the autumn garden. They last quite a while in the garden. In fact, mine are only just beginning to die down now that it’s starting to get cool out.
Another thing that I like about mums is that if you cut them and bring some indoors they usually last quite a while in a vase.
Did you grow some mums this year in your garden?

This weeks theme is Pink
I think pink suits this cat don’t you? Now it’s golden eyes are another story … needs another shade of pink to make a good match I think. LOL
The other night I started going over some of the things we’ll need for our trip to Vegas. I printed out our electronic airline tickets that don’t look like tickets at all (shouldn’t they?), and I printed out the information for our travel medical insurance as well. Since I have Crohn’s we definitely had to get medical insurance. I can’t imagine what would happen if I got sick and had to be hospitalized in the US without medical insurance! Scary thought, believe me!
I also went to the airlines website and found a list of all the restrictions on items that you can bring on board a plane. You know, things like containers of fluid – shampoos and such that only have 100 ml or less in them, no Swiss Army knives or nail clippers or files – that kind of stuff.
It’s not like I plan on bringing a bunch of stuff, but since we haven’t traveled anywhere by air for quite a while I want to be up on all these rules. If we traveled more often this would be a breeze!
Sometime in the next day or two I’m also going to try to remember to call our travel agency to see if I really did get our electronic airline tickets or not. They just don’t look right.
I’m just getting around to watching some of the shows that we taped last night and I’m wondering … how many shows had reruns last night?
The CSI was a rerun. I saw that episode at least twice last year when there was nothing but reruns on … and now we’re watching Shark and I have a feeling it might be a rerun too …
What’s going on? The TV season just started and we’re already seeing reruns? I can only imagine how bad this will get in December, January and February if last year is any indication. Last year was rerun city for all of those months.
I was just thinking … now that we have a membership with a discount travel club – thanks to having booked our Las Vegas travel package through them – Chris and I should be able to get some really good travel deals!
Chris is afraid of flying though! I guess we’ll see how he does on our Las Vegas trip in two weeks and if he does ok maybe we’ll finally start traveling more often. I’d love to perhaps rent one of those vacation home Orlando for a week or so in March. The weather there would be a heck of a lot nicer than it is here at that time of year and the advantages of staying in a home rather than a hotel would be very nice.
I really don’t like staying in hotels at all. They’re too cramped! I guess hotel rooms remind me of my tiny tiny apartment that I had before we bought this house!
So I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that Chris doesn’t get to panicky on the plane to Las Vegas and keeps an open mind about traveling more often. I mean, I’ve been looking at some of the deals available to us now and it would be so nice to take advantage of these packages and get away for a while.
