FALL TABLE ESCAPE

So, how have you been? 

I'm fine, thanks for asking...........

I just have a lot of STUFF going on,

which explains my infrequent blog posting these last few weeks. 
Fortunately, it's all good stuff, but that doesn't mean I'm not feeling overwhelmed
a good deal of the time.

Lest you think I've had time to set this pretty table and photograph it,
I confess that these pictures were shot last fall,
but I never used them.
These days, I barely have time or energy to get food on the table, 
let alone fancy dishes, cloth napkins and a centerpiece.
In fact, the last few weeks have been defined by lots of paper plates, take-out food,
and yes, a sandwich or two eaten on sheets of paper towel.
 
I still have a lot going on here at home,
but I need a break from day-to-day stresses;
hence, I'm here for a little diversion, with a pretty tablescape. 
It's my fall table-escape, if you will. 

 I need an escape from the college application process.

I need an escape from insomnia.

I need an escape from the temptations of candy corn.

I need an escape from my bathroom scale.

And mostly, I need an escape from this election mess.

Please just wake me when it's over, and gently tell me who won.

I'm sure I need an escape from a bunch of other things, 
but what they might be.......escapes me at the moment.

I hope to be back to a more regular blogging schedule,

and visiting those of you with blogs, in the next week or two.
