My Quilt

A good friend of ours, that we know from Church, made this quilt for me. Isn't it beautiful?? I saw one he had made about a year ago, and asked him to make one for me with blue as the color theme. I have no idea how many hours it took, but the workmanship is awesome. He makes a variety of crafts and displays them at many of the local craft shows. Check out his website http://www.kenscountrycreations.com/outside_home.asp .

My quilt reminds me of the many that my great grandmother made. Only a few remain in the family, and they were all made by hand.

I am thankful for and very blessed to have a friend that shared his talent by making this for me. I love it!!

Funnel Cakes......Need I Say More??

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have been seriously watching our calorie intake and increasing our gym attendance, but.......how can you go to a Fair and NOT eat a funnel cake??? You're right. It would be impossible. So, I have to just say this was definitely a blessing I enjoyed at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City on Saturday. Bill and I spent the afternoon/evening looking at the exhibits and watching part of some of the shows. The weather was beautiful for spending the day outside. The boys didn't go with us, but we watched the XTreme BMX & Skateboard show anyway. The riders will very good and completed a lot of the tricks that Jordan and Linden work on at home. There were plenty of displays of art, needlework, quilts, clothing, jewelry, cows, pigs, rabbits, and chickens. It was a fun day! And yes, if you have to know....we ate corndogs & boiled peanuts too!

Baby Books

I saw a posting on my friend, Desiree's, FB page this morning, which talked about the birth of her first child. I couldn't help but drag out the Baby Books for Jordan & Linden; then I decided to transfer some of those pictures to the computer. So, lucky for you-----YOU get to see just a few of the cutest baby pics ever taken. I am hoping Linden won't notice he has zero pictures of his little newborn self. I guess delivering a baby at 2:00am wasn't the highlight of everyone else's day; and who knows why no one had a camera in their hand until the child turned 1 month old. At any rate, we've certainly taken enough pictures of them both during the past 16 and 14 years to make up for what was lacking during his first few days.

I love to see all the funny faces Jordan makes. He would sit in front of Linden and make silly faces, while Linden would laugh and laugh. He can still do that, if we catch him in the right mood.

Linden has been and will always be photgenic. How can he go wrong with his dark eyes and long lashes (he'll hates when people point them out).

I am sure you guessed the blessing in my day-----remembering all the special times with my boys when they were young enough to have fun with Mom.
