Good Morning!!!
Welcome back to OakHaven!!
I do hope that this post  finds yall in good health.  I am fine, on this day, and the days back in September!  We had a death in Joe's family.  His sister died.  It was not a surprise, as she neglected
her diabetes and other serious health issues(kidneys-dialysis for 1 more).  She has gone downhill for years.  Yes, she is in a better world.  Joe is fine.  Saddened only by his sister's lack of taking care of herself, in well over 12 years.  We are surprised that she lived as long as she did!!  May she be at peace now.....
We are still in the grip of hot weather.  We have gotten much needed rain, thank God, all summer!
Not a complaint from me!!!  LOL!  The rains cooled the heat, so, all in all, it was livable!     ;)
All my health issues are in compliance with my meds.  All doctors are happy with my results this summer.  Joe just has one test results* to go back for.  His pain in his ribs.  I do hope that they know what causes him pain and can fix it.  This is the last "issue" unresolved.  He has switched to my #1 doctor that sets up needed works he doesn't do.  He has gone through this with other "docs"(snicker..snicker  :)  Never working on the issue at hand, only to test their* works, to build a page on him.....duh.......that is why I made him see my doc....he doesn't play around!
There is a sting in my hands, still.  I just stitch, play my games, design, make bracelets out of beads, to fill my days now. I am not griping...at all...LOL!!!
As you can see my typing messages are longer now.....   ;)   
Which leads me to my new post on this day!!!!!!    C*H*A*R*T*S!!!!  How does this first one in the new month affect you??

Welcome Stitchers!!!
September is here & I am a happy camper!!!!!  How are you???  Are you ready for winter(USA)summer way down yonder in Australia???
Which season do you favor???
Another great thing is our "rain" is back to normal this year.  We are, still, not having water levels back to where they were in 2009, but, I am NOT complaining!!!!  LOL!!!
I feel sooooooooooooo bad for California people as their drought is far worse than GA-Fla...........
Apparently, lots of people can't afford to move out of California.  The ONLY people NOT affected are the rich.  Green lawns and pools mean more to them than drinking water, farmers & regular folk!!
Has anybody started their Halloween stitching?  What are you working on?  Do yall get trick or treaters?  All my neighbors kids are grown up and gone away.  I do miss the days of my dressing up and doing my witch thing with the Safe houses around here.  I can't stand, long let alone walk now.
My yard could be seen as one came around the bend!  My yard was decorated to the max Halloween and Christmas!  It took me all month in August-Sept to do Halloween, all month in November to do Christmas!!
I had Halloween villages,  mobile witches, screaming-hanging ghosts, Halloween tree, candles galore, lit pumpkins(either lights or candles), boogers, skeletons hanging, bats everywhere, black & white cats,purple, orange & black lights hung, all here in the den.  Let along the all the ceramic and porcelain nic nacs!!
and...............Christmas was a whole lot more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  All through the house was decorated!  I love Christmas scents!!!!
Yes, this started the seasons with me and my deceased friend, Sarah!  We LOVED the holidays, so much.  I miss her so much.........
Now, on to my latest designing just for you to stitch up!!!!!!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Howdy and good evening!!!
Welcome to my page.  I have a "favor" to ask you.................................................................
Would you kindly, let me know how you are liking this set of Halloween designs this year???
I would, greatly, love to hear what you think.  It does a designer good to know how other stitchers like the work....especially when it is a gift!!!
Today has been a quiet day in Georgia.  We are watching a storm brew down south.  As much as I LOVE rain, wind I don't care about  LOL!!!!
Today wasn't as sickening hot as it has been!  All in all a good day.
I have been playing a lot of Nintendo  3DS.XL lately!  I love playing the games and it never gets old to me..Smokey Black is my color*

And this is the game that I am currently playing:
