Remember me?????

I've been gone for so long, you probably forgot who I am!!!! lol  Time seems to be flying by in triple speed!!!!  I have been busy.  In Aug. I was approched to put my things in a consignment store.  So I did.  Had my etsy shop up and running.  Then getting orders on the side.  Needless to say....BUSY!!!  And it's getting to be that time of year, people looking for gifts.  So, before I get lost again, I'll post some pics of Monica at our annual leaf jumping weekend.  I always have her the second weekend in Oct and get her Sat afternoon and she spends the night.  It was a nice day, cool, as I had my winter coat on.  The sun is quite deceiving in those pics!!!  And today, it was 77 degrees!!!!   Anywho...pics

OK, did you see her smile.  We're missing 2 front teeth.  I think we'll escape the school pics of no front teeth.  She had her school pic taken in Sept.  So, by next Sept, they should be in!!!!!

And back in Sept was my daughter's anniversary.  They like to party...we call them rednecks.  So, for an anniversary gift, this is what I made/gave them.

And never would I have thought my daughter would be raising chickens.  She got the peeps in the spring and now chickens are wandering around their yard.  They do not live near a highway unless they peck where they shouldn't!!!!!  Then they got a rooster!!!  Henry!!!!  I'll have to get pics sometime when I'm out there.

Everyone take care.  Enjoy this fall weather we're having.
Till next time

Catch-Up

Thought I better do this post before the month of July is over!!!  Where did this month go???  We went out to our daughter's the second week of July.  She lives in Allentown, PA.  Have to show off our new grandpuppy!!!!  Well, he's not the cute cuddly little puppy, but he's a puppy!!!!  Of course, we brought treats and a squeaky toy!!!!  (You know we can leave) lol  It's an outside toy!!!!   They also have a cat, so have to show a pic of Sebastian.  We brought new toys for Sebastion too!!!!

Here is Tyson!!!

And Grandpa playing with him.  Tyson didn't want to sit still to get his pic taken, so had to be held!!!!

Then one day this month we took Monica bowling.  She loves to bowl.  Her first ball was a strike!!!!  Of course, we didn't get that pic!!!

That's it for this month.  It was too hot to do much of anything.  Hope everyone is having a great summer and staying cool!!!!

Don't forget to check out my etsy store, have listed some new items and will be listing some more new ones in a day or two.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Just want to wish everyone a Happy and Safe 4th of July!!!!!

Thunder in the Valley!!

No, we didn't have thunder from the skies.  It's the thunder from motorcycles rumbling by as they get from one town to another on this weekend that has now become a national motorcycle rally.  This is what Johnstown looked like on the main streetss and anywhere they could park.

Then there were the vendors selling motorcycle things to jewelry to  food.  Those are leather jackets, vests, etc.

There was a parade on Sat and the Budweiser Clydesdales were the main attraction.

 Their harness weighs 130 lbs.

 Even the dalmation has a harness!!

 The handlers are there wiping their mouths and if that gold harness part gets slobber on it, they wipe it too!!!!  And they kept doing that, till it was time to pull out!!!

This piece of sculpture is in front the the Tribune-Democrat (local paper) accompanied with Monica.  This is where Dave and I both worked 30 some years ago!!!

Today, we went to hear a Johnny Cash impersonator. 

The lady behind is the June Carter impersonator.  She also did Patsy Cline, Janis Joplin and Alvin!!!!!

Monica was up on stage with the tambourne and had the mike and was singing Ring of Fire, but Dave didn't take just a pic, he was videoing the whole thing!!!!

All in all, it was a busy, noisy weekend!!!!

Graduation Day!!!

Well, it was yesterday, just now getting around to it!!!!  I forgot to take a pic just of her and the other pics are blurry since I zoomed in!!!

Getting the diploma

I have the first two backwards.  This is walking in.

Me and hubby.  He's in his work uniform as he left for work after the pic was taken!!

Off to first grade!!!!
