Since we last met...

...the Gators have proceeded to lose two games back to back to the SEC West (after finally looking like the offense might be on the verge of clicking against Kentucky). Oh well - it's a rebuilding year, right?

I've been on the road - quite literally - for work the past two weeks. It was cool to be 'on assignment', but I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things at the office. I did get to see a lot of my Florida family on this trip, so I'm grateful for that. Still, I couldn't wait to get home yesterday. I've unpacked, done laundry, and put up fall decorations. I had put my fall berry wreath on my front door before I left, just so I'd feel a little fall when I got home. My fall decor isn't too extensive, but I thought I'd show you a few pics, because I've enjoyed seeing some that you all have posted.

Here's my dining room table...

I had found the place mats and napkins last fall, but Mom found the plates and mugs for me at Marshalls. I love the sunflowers because they work well with fall colors and remind me of Italy.

...and my mantle

That vase is the best multi-purpose decorative tool! I just switch out what's in it by season. For summer, I keep calla lilies in it and I found some great Smith & Hawken berry stems at Target last year after Christmas that will go in it come December.

I've also switched the slipcovers on my ottoman and chair. I got a brown leather chair at Ikea when I moved to Savannah, but I put a white slipcover on it for spring/summer - just helps to lighten things up. Hope y'all have had a good couple of weeks. Back to cheering on the Braves in their effort to stave off Bobby's retirement...
