Ann Graduates

My little Ann Eliza graduated from Billings Senior High School on May 28, 2012.  It was a lovely ceremony.  I didn't think I'd cry, but as soon as I entered the Metra, the tears started.  Darn.  No one I was with had a tissue, but my dad had a hanky.  Thank goodness for old men.  Mike videos the graduation ceremony and then edits it into a nice little memory video for the kids.  I forgot to take the camera.  We did a still shot on the video camera, but I don't know how to upload that from the camera, so . . .

Ann's party was on Tuesday.  She had a  lot of fun.  It was a good little party.  We had Cafe Rio cater with a nacho bar.  It was delicious.  PS  if you feel dissed, don't, she didn't send out very many invites.  I had her hand write them and she got tired of it.  I did carry my camera in my pocket through the whole party and didn't take a single picture.  I feel sorry for third children.  We get empty photo albums handed down to us.

Chris survived 7th grade.  Let's say a great big "AMEN" to that.

Looking forward to summer.

Catching Up 2013

I have done a few things around the house lately and thought I'd show them here.  First, for my birthday, I got a 1950s credenza from a yard sale for $15.00!  Yay!  I also got a "fainting couch" from an Estate Sale in great condition and perfect for my sewing room.  So, I added both to the sewing room , which took a lot of rearranging, and badabing, badaboom, a fabulous new look: The view from the door, to the left. Panning to the right. Continuing to the right. The sewing machine right next to the door.  The ironing board stored.   Super comfy fainting couch.  Perfect for napping while I watch TV. The corner behind the door. One Sunday, while listening to the talks in Sacrament Meeting, I heard this great quote from Plato regarding self-control.  The talk was about fasting.  It was a really good talk.  So, I asked, Sister Gina McQueen for a copy of the quote and cut it out in vinyl and hung it on the ceiling going down the stairs.  Chris sa

Pumpkin pie

We got one pumpkin out of our garden this summer.  It was smallish.  I cut the corn stalks and tied them together and put them on the front porch with the little pumpkin next to them foe decoration for October.  November 1st I threw out the cornstalks and moved the pumpkin to the other side of the door, and I thought, "I wonder what it takes to make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin."  So, thanks to google, I found a  Website , and, voila!  Mike and I made two of the most delicious pumpkin pies in the history of our pumpkin pies!  No time to take a photo, one is history, the other is in the freezer!
