Hi Jack.

I am out to scare you Boo
I have teeth but cannot bite,
In my head is a candle bright.
I am out to scare you
Boo Boo Boo.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

Bible Study

A NEW way to study from a very OLD Bible.
I read the same chapter everday for a week.  This is new for me.  Don't know why I haven't ever thought of this before. This is the 3rd day of reading I Thess. chapter 1.  I am LOVING this.  Been remind 3 times how I am to mimic Christ and be an example to all.  This will be drilled into my mind  many times this week and hopefully it will be written on my heart forever. I know that the Lord will reveal much more to me as I read and study from his word. There is a lot to be said for repetition,or perhaps I am a S-L-O-W learner.

Quilting practice.

 How many quilts does one have to make to actually be called a
"quilter"?
Here is my second attempt. A pattern called Vintage Baby Quilt.

Pretty easy, if you don't mind cutting 130  2 1/2 inch squares.  Just the right size for covering up a baby. As I was making it, I thought I could not imagine the time it would take to make a queen or king size quilt.  It was fun to make because you can see an end result pretty quickly.

A peddlen' we will go.

Time once again for the Peddlers Faire.... We saw lots of folk peddlen their goods...and we bought a few.
She is very excited to get started pickin.


I sooooo wanted this, but left without it  :( -ness.

Not sure why Elvis was there  but we couldn't pass up this photo-op.

Cute pink stuff.


I wanted all this AQUA furniture (WHO WOULDN'T)  but sadly left without any of it.

I eat local everyday even without being told to.

I was wondering how I would find my husband out of the crowd.  He would be the one carrying a table on his head.  The table however went home with my sis.  The twin table is being carried by her hubby, I guess he didn't want to be found.

At the pumpkin patch we ran into my other sisters.    # 1

Sister # 2


Sister # 3

Sister # 4


Just in case you wanted to ride in the wagon..There are rules....


Meet the pumpkin family.


My twin sister.

WOW those are some BIG pumpkins.   I know what you're thinkin...

Some pumpkin patch purdy-ness.  I asked Nick if we could just hitch this wagon to his truck and drive it home with us. He told me that I could have it if I could find a horse to drag it home.

Baking and Bon Jovi.


Baking and Bon Jovi you ask?   Both Delicious.
While listening to his CD cleaning house I decided to bake some cookies,  and since I am a big fan of Bon Jovi and a big fan of chocolate chip cookies it made sense at the time. This is beginning to sound like the "If you give a mouse a cookie" scenario.  So it bears repeating,  BOTH  delicious. (Yes, I did have a glass of milk.)

Time to party...

 As I promised, pictures of the party.
What party would be complete without presents?

He was so happy with his airplanes and helicopters.

More joy.

More delight.

The loooong awaited Apache helicopter, that he just knew Gramma was going to get for him.

Time for cake. This is not the same cake that Micah made. I made another one, just in case we needed it.


Insert the happy birthday song here.........


And,,, my most favorite photo of all....The look of excitment when he opened the beloved Apache.
Fun times.  Birthday parties for a 4 year old boy bring joy to this gramma.
Happy Birthday to You.
