Look what arrived today!

Yes, I ordered the Pioneer Woman’s cookbook. I could not help myself and it was worth it, for the picture so far and I am sure the recipes will be great! It came today!

A Picture of Dawson’s and his Super Hero

A Blast from the past!  Winston with his jersey his Senior year….1980, yes we did have color pictures then!!

Marbles

While in Michael's the other day, I came across a bag of marbles. Suddenly a flood of memories entered the recall system in what brain I have left….so I will blog about it quickly, before it heads to  the back of my brain or where ever it goes! I had a vision of playing marbles with someone a couple of years older than I was. She would draw the circle in the dirt. Just licking her lips, a waiting on her turn! I remember how well she played marbles and how not well I played!  She would  set her eyes on the ones she liked and wait on her turn. It was no challenge,I assure you! I do not think my sister or I ever beat her at marbles. She played for keeps too!!! We have so many childhood memories and she is certainly as close as a sister and I do love her! Lila, do you still have all those marbles you won??? I do not even remember how to play, not sure I never knew the rules!!! But my hats off to your skills back in the day. We did finally get smart and not play marbles with ya! Ha! I just had to buy a bag!

A couple of new items

I do not buy many new things for my house, as far as decor, although I need to. I just have a hard time deciding if it will look good or not, and can I live with it for the next ten years! Well, I found these two things that I liked and knew they would work in my den.

Superhero Day

This is my first blog entry for the "Life on the Farm", but I felt that those who read this one would love it the most!

Last week at GCS, it was "Red Ribbon Week", and the kids dress up throughout the week to show support for drug awareness. Friday's dress up day was "Super Hero Day: Fighting against Drugs". Dawson dressed up as Winston Bridges as his SuperHero! I thought it was precious and that Jill would love it, so here are the photos!

Happy Halloween

Look what rang our door bell!    The cutest fairy I have ever seen! I am not prejudice at all! She wanted to ring that door bell! Not many people out here in the country do that ya know!

 

Tonight's Menu

Spanish Delight, roll’s and  Tres Leeches Cake. The cake was requested by some of the ladies at  the packing shed! Ms. Wilma came over and helped me cook this afternoon and I am so thankful. Last night we served BBQ sandwiches. When WB told me it would be another late night tonight, I came home and got out the recipe book and tried to find something that would feed a lot of people. I got up and went to Walmart and Sam’s so I could get finished cooking early.We ended up with 6 of these. I served 5 of them & they ate most of it, all of the cake! Cooking for 30 of them is like serving 50 people because they eat a bunch!!! The recipe said it would feed 10 to 12. They are very appreciative and that makes it worth while. I also made them trick or treat bags…they looked like a bunch of kids getting those treats!   For the past few nights I have been taking some of the ladies to Hahira so they could meet their ride to Nashville GA. I got home around 1:00. We saw 2 deer (benotas in Spanish….they are teaching me a few words…and laughing time the whole time) two nights! After dropping them off and heading back home, one of them was still grazing in the same spot! The cars did not bother him! WB is still at the barn writing up time cards during this time!

From one boring desk to one bright whimsical desk!

I was rather tired of this boring dark desk, so I just decided I would brighten it up!   Very inexpensive!

 

Girls Night of nieces and grands

My nieces were on fall break and I decided it was way past time to have them over. Normally, we will scrape book..but this time we had the younger girls and that is just a little to young for now. So we settled for a few other ideas. Like the older girls playing on the computers while the younger ones played with the doll house. Then we cooked some supper and apple turnovers and watched a movie. Then it was bed time. NO baths tonight! They are roughing it!

Georgia Bound

After church Sunday AM, Cayla got a call from her work saying she really needed to come in Monday AM instead of PM. We had talked about leaving Sunday rather than Monday, but were undecided. Decision made….pack up the car. This was Kylie when I told her we were going to head back home! She was heart broken as you can tell, what a face! She told me she would just stay with Alex! You also see her saying her good-bye’s to Dalton…so sweet and touching!
