Seasonal Train Tours Branson

 For a day of family fun reserve a seat on the Branson Scenic Railway.  This seasonal train is a great way to view the Ozark Mountains fall foliage and scenic landscapes.

Teach your children about the types of trees that produce beautiful colors and take keepsake photographs for memories of your day on the train.

 Reserve comfortable seating with skylights or if you prefer reserve the fine dining train that features a 3-course dinner.  Not only is this dinner train romantic but it is also a great way to “get away” and enjoy the scenery at dusk.  The colorful autumn trees look beautiful when the sun's rays shine on the leaves.

So if you are planning to visit Branson during the fall season be sure to check out the Branson Scenic Railway.

Cute and Comfortable Halloween Outfit Idea

  

When it comes to dressing for Halloween I would prefer to not wear a costume.  I like to wear a cute, casual, and comfortable outfit to parties, and for taking the kids out for Trick or Treat.  Here is a cute, comfortable Halloween outfit.

 

When you dress in a Halloween-created t-shirt and leggings then all you need to add is your shoes, accessories, theatrical makeup, and maybe spooky hair with plastic spiders and cobwebs?

 

I created at my Zazzle store a darling Halloween T-shirt that could be worn with matching compression leggings.  

 

I like the cut of the tee because it is not form-fitting and the fabric feels like silk.  The design was created from illustrations that I had cut out before I did a handset to create the classic Halloween ghost design.

 

The black leggings are so comfortable, you will never feel restricted in them, as movement is easy and they do not bag out at the knees like other leggings.   I have several pairs and love them. They are so comfortable that you can sleep in them.

 

If you are a Halloween lover then buy this darling outfit and wear it throughout the season and you will look fabulous.

Fall Season Home Decor

Even though the fall season doesn’t begin until the end of September I am waving goodbye to summer and looking forward to fall outdoor projects and indoor fall season home decorating.

 

The summer was extremely hot and it prevented us from spending any time outdoors.  And now the days are still hot but the nights are so cool that I had to add a fleece blanket to the bed.  Then today I saw that the leaves from the oak and maple trees are falling  and this is a sign that summer is over and that fall season is coming soon.

 

I normally decorate my home with pumpkin and colorful fall season maple leaves and will shop for new product designs that will compliment my décor scheme.  In the past I bought a pumpkin and sunflower table runner from Zazzle and some sunflower coffee mugs.  I like to add sunflowers to my fall decorations since they do  add  cheerful color and look nice with the colors orange and brown.

 

Here is a photo that I took of my table runner.  I set it on top of my buffet this year and thought it was complimentary.  It added the right enough of seasonal color to my dining area.

Best Baked Chicken Ever

  

My mother taught me to bake chicken for an hour in an oven set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and my chicken never came out right, it was always dry.  I tried many recipes to get it right but ended up serving it with gravy. My husband would say “the chicken is alright”

 

Normally I never ask my husband questions about cooking because he is not one to share his “cooking secrets”  But finally asked him if there was a better way to bake chicken and he replied try dredging it in seasoned flour and baking at a high heat of 450 F for 15 to 20 minutes.

 

I followed his cooking tips and the baked chicken was the best ever.

 

Know that chicken is a staple in our home and I tend to make it more during the autumn and winter season.  My chicken meals are heavier when it is cool or cold outdoors.   

I will cook a lot of chicken on Sunday and then use it in casseroles, soups, and sandwiches throughout the week.
