So, here it is, October 18th. I have always loved the Fall season and am always ecstatic when it's time to change the wardrobe around to make room for warmer clothes. The problem here is this... there is no stinkin' cold weather. Did I mention it's October 18th??? The Good Lord gave us a week of lovely, crisp Autumn weather and then decided maybe we weren't ready for it yet. Yeah, it's currently in the upper 80s and very humid. But I still go on as though it's cold. I'm definitely in the "spirit of the season"....pumpkin pie scented candles, hay, pumpkins, mums, etc. out on the front porch, baking, and let us not forget....Christmas music. I am truly my Mother's daughter! So even though it's hot and muggy I refuse to succumb to the summer's lingering.

This evening will be no different, I am baking a bunch of pumpkin rolls (just like the good 'ole days) for friends and maybe one for me. Which forces me to take a merry little trip down memory lane. Hobe Sound Christian Academy , oh the bake sales we would have. My favorite treats were always the "no-bake cookies" and the pumpkin rolls. Those of you who attended, know what I'm talking about. Yum-Yum. I'm adding on the pounds just thinking about it. So tonight will be dedicated to my fellow Hobe Sound alumni. Here's to you, campies! Enjoy your week! :)

Did someone mention pumpkin rolls?
I had to go to the academy office the other day, the highschool freshman were cleaning up from having a bakesale. I almost checked to see if they had anything left, just for a trip down memory lane.
