Wonderful gift for a wedding shower

Members of my church family gave a wedding shower for my son Lee, and his fiance Peggi. One lady made this print for them as a gift and all the hostesses signed the frame on the back. As far as I know, it was made on the computer. Isn't it an awesome idea!

My daughter loves....

Ky loves to sew. She alters her own clothes, and she designs clothes too.


She didn't actually design this vest, She got the idea from the internet, went upstairs and came down later that day with the vest all finished.


I think it turned out really pretty and fits her very well. I love that she has many blossoming talents that are becoming evident as she matures. I'm very proud.

Nothing like a toilet paper dress



Yes! That is me, sandwiched between 2 of my nieces, wearing a toilet paper wedding gown. This fun activity was one of the games at the Bridal Shower for my son and his fiance. My son is getting married! I know you all have been there-but life has been super busy lately. I've been sewing, cooking, making decorations and making plans to do more....
The wedding is in about a month and now the "fun stuff" has started, just like this Shower. By the way, my niece on the left won this contest. I think it had something to do with how cute she looked with the gown covering her pregnant waistline.

Comfy on the Couch





Sometimes you just have to find yourself a comfortable spot to lie down and observe the world.

Granny's Green Shake

My Mother likes to make a shake out of vegetables and fruit. She goes outside and picks fresh ingredients from her little garden area and adds edible native plants. Then she peels and cores an apple or peels an orange and blends it all together. This is a picture of my first shake. I used lettuce and kale from my porch garden and added an apple. I blended that with enough water to make a pint. I drank half in the morning and half in the evening. It is a good way to drink enough water for the day and get a few servings of vegetables and fruit at the same time. You can make enough for a pitcher and keep it in the fridge. I am trying to make it may new habbit. Does anyone else do this? Any suggestions?
