Playing Catch Up

Things have been a bit insane around here, well at least insane for us!

I feel like I have been driving from Timbuktu & back. There have been many very early mornings for me, taking D to work so I can have the car. Then after all the reasons for me having the car, I have drive back to get him at the end of the day (an it is not a short drive). My body has gotten used to getting up earlier, so when I can sleep late, I don't. But that has been nice, I feel more accomplished.

Last Thursday, Jamie & Sophie came to pick me up & we met up with Nicole at a Christmas clearance place. We found some stuff, but I think we hit it at the wrong time. They were getting a new shipment that afternoon. Nicole had to get back home to study. So, Jamie, Sophie & I did some more shopping. We both had a very strict budget so it was fun seeing how much we could get without going over. Ans Princess Sophie kept us entertained all day! Boy, I sure am going to miss my days out with Jamie, once she moves away. :( But, I am not going to think about that right now.

Ornament orders are consuming my life at the moment. What a huge blessing! But...Oh-My-Goodness. I am no longer taking anymore orders for the season, as of today & it's a good thing, I don't think I could fill them all! I'm not gloating at all....I'm just amazed at how this little hobby exploded. It's beyond anything I could have imagined. So, if I am not blogging much in the next 4 weeks, know that it's because I am painting & creating.

Tomorrow we are finally going to lay down carpet in our living room. So as I type, all the living room furniture is stacked up in the kitchen, except the couch I am sitting on & the TV I am watching.

This next week looks to be shaping up into another very busy one.

Only 2 Days Left!

Rocky Mountain Master's Commission needs our prayers right now....

Homestead Hollow & Some Food

Saturday, the plan was to go to Christmas Village, but at the last minute we changed our minds & headed to Homestead Hollow. It was just D, my Auntie D & I...We had too much fun!

We couldn't live in the house...D doesn't fit!
This sign made me think of a famous scene from one of my favorite Christmas movies.
What movie am I talking about?
I couldn't have handled these kinda trees back in the day...I like way too many lights!
This sign was on the bathroom...Hhhhmmmm
Dinky Doughnuts
A big ole corn dog
Fried pickles
Carmel chocolate covered apple

All we bought was FOOD! Things not pictured are a frozen chocolate covered cheesecake, homemade ice cream & a big bag of kettle corn, that I brought home. Good grief! I didn't realize we bought THAT much food!
Not the best pic of us, but I had to take one.
And then we went to Garden Ridge where D & Auntie D rode some little horsies down to town.

We ended the evening at an awesome Chinese buffet! I have requested that D take me there for my birthday.

Hayride In The Country 2009

This year Mercy got to go with us. Since Mom's vehicle is in the shop & they had to take Danny's truck, Mercy rode with us. And we chatted all the way there...Amongst the "Are we there yet's?"




About to go on the first hayride!
Cori & Ella Rose
Beth & her baby Tex



Tex loves D.

Mom rode on the 2nd hayride & she had to have a chair. So, she thought she was the queen.

Greg & his whistlin' weenie. This is one funny man! He cracks me up!

Mercy crashed.

The little girls were in the house sleeping & the rest of us were sitting around the fire talking. Beth had told us earlier about hearing some animal that sounded like it was screaming & she had also see a large black cat, possibly a panther. Well, we started hearing the "scream" also. And it was getting closer & closer. All of us females, grabbed all the food & high-tailed it to the house! The guys stayed out by the fire for a while longer & came in saying it was a Screech Owl. I listened the the Screech Owl sounds online & that was no Screech Owl.


I so look forward every year to the hayride & this year did not disappoint. It was a blast!
