I am a proud mama.

My youngest daughter ran a 10K marathon this morning.

It was poring rain.

Everyone was soaked.

Well done!

First Snow

It seems that winter has arrived!!

Ugh!!

Early morning pic.

The white spots on the pic is snow.

 Later this afternoon.

Still snow.  It's pretty chilly out.
The roads are very icy.

 The kids and Mickey playing in the snow.
They are lovin it.
Me --- not so much!

I am still sewing pj's and things.

Hope to get some pics posted soon.

I am doing a ladies night out on Nov. 10th.

So am busy getting ready for that.

It should be good.

Meet Mickey

We have a new family member!!

I can't imagine what we where thinking.

The kids have been asking for a dog for a long time now.

Well -- we did it.

He's a little camera shy.

He is a cocker spaniel/springer spaniel cross.

And he can read!!

He knows that is his bed.

Pretty smart, eh!

1st day of School

Today was the first day of school for our girls

in their new school.

Pretty excititing!

Well at least for me.

They are wearing their new skirts.

Then I baked some banana bread.

This is the Kellogs Banana Bran Bread recipe

that I got off the cereal box many years ago.

And it's a good one. 

It has All Bran in it and that gives it a nice texture.

I had to go to the store to get the All Bran this morning

and I also found this.

Chockcherry jelly!!

I haven't had it in years so I had to buy some.

Next year I will have to find some chockcherries to pick,

(now that we are living in chockcherry country) 

soI can make my own.

This small jar was $5.00!! 

A little humor

These pictures are dedicated to my daughter.
