Happy October!We’ve been utterly and completely blessed with GOING-ON-THREE-WEEKS of absolutely gorgeous autumn weather. There’s been little wind, cool nights, and seventy to eighty degree days.

In Which I Think About Special Days and Friendship
I do not claim to understand life. The living and breathing and moving of it. The heart of it and soul in it and soul in us. Mystery this. How we live in the moments and the clock tick-tocks them away faster than we can say hickory-dickory-dock and wraps them up into memory packages for […]

We Have a Party
This year we became the parents of two teenagers! I looked at my man one day back in the fall and I said, “Sixteen and thirteen. Our children are turning sixteen and thirteen. We need to have a party! These are both milestone ages and both in the same year and of course, they will […]
Some Pictures of Some Cows and Some Other Stuff
Matthew was doing a few chores and checking cattle for his brother who was gone for a few days. I rode along and I took my camera along, as I rode along, and thus, along the way, at one of our stops I took some pictures of some of the cows. It was just a […]
Autumn Party…from the Past
Taking a trek back in time again to visit Party Past! In the fall of 2008, I had a simple 60th birthday party for a dear lady, friend, and neighbor. It’s so fun to look back. I love remembering details. Autumn colors are so pretty. This chocolate cake was fun to make. Quite simple. […]
Baby Shower Pictures
One of my long-time friends had her first baby the end of August. A boy! A couple other friends helped me and we held a baby shower for her in my basement, in September. My pictures aren’t all that great. I was too busy to stop and take good photos like I really wanted […]
Jean Pocket Silverware Holders
There are a lot of pretty pictures in my True Woman 201 studybook. One of them showed the back pocket from a pair of jeans with silverware tucked inside. I instantly thought of my denim napkin holders. Next, my mind jumped to the old jeans I still had in an upstairs closet. […]
Of Cake Pops and Party
In January, at birthday time, Renae told me she had an idea. She wanted to have a couple of her friends come over, not now, but in July at her half-birthday, and celebrate then with summery things like swimming and such. That was fine with me. She began to plan and would add ideas […]
It Was A Birthday Party
I feel like looking at party pictures again! This was a birthday party for a friend. Maybe in 2008? Yes, it was. I went and checked. We served Strawberry Lemonade and adding fruit to the glasses was a fun and pretty thing. And went well with the beverage! This was just an afternoon party with […]
Welcome Party…. From The Past
I so enjoy looking back. I am so grateful for pictures. I procrastinate at sorting and loading my pictures in this digital picture age, but I am so glad for memories and frozen bits of life. There are so many things I would forget and DO forget until I look back at pictures! Way back in […]
We Throw a Party
I had a friend who turned forty this fall. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to throw a party! I really love setting things up for a party. It does take time and effort, so it doesn’t always happen. 🙂 Lovely fall flower arrangement! It was part of my friend’s gift and served as our centerpiece […]
