A Finished Project!!!

I am so exited. I actually finished one of my unfinished projects this weekend. This is one of my block of the month classes from the local quilt store. Now I just have to finish my winter, spring and summer ones plus numerous other unfinished projects. I couldn't wait to get this hung up and then just as soon as I did, I noticed a mistake and no, I wasn't doing it on purpose like the Amish do. So I guess I will have to do a little unpicking and resewing but I may just let it hang for awhile first.

The Pumpkin Patch

One of my favorite things is when the stores get in their big piles of pumpkins, so naturally one of my favorite activities is a trip to the Pumpkin Patch. The problem is that the last couple of years we keep getting fewer in number. Miranda's last several years of high school she didn't think it was too cool of an activity and then Michael and Marisa moved too far away to go. This year we were without Merridee and Ben, so that takes a lot of the fun out of it. I am hoping that next year we will start increasing in numbers again. Maybe one of these years Miranda will even decide that it is fun, but about the time that happens, McKade will probably decide that he doesn't want to go.

The Last Rose of Summer

This is what we woke up to this morning. SNOW!!! This poor one last rose was left to brave the weather. I love fall and I am just not ready for winter yet. I guess there will be less work now, because it definitely took care of the garden for this year. Here's one last look at the flowers for this summer.

Grandma's Birthday Celebration

Grandma is 87 Years Old Today and Bridger is 10 Months Old

Mom turned 87 years old today. The celebration today consisted of fixing one of her favorite dinners (mashed potatoes and chicken gravy) and Swiss chocolate cake. Our big celebration was last weekend when about 50 members of the family met in Heber City and rode the Heber Creeper up Provo Canyon. It was rainy and cold, but so much fun to get together and visit. The canyon was gorgeous and overall it was a great day.

Mom does amazingly well for 87 years old. She just got her driver's license renewed and still doesn't even have to wear glasses. I have had to wear glasses ever since I got my license.

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

I guess it is about time that I tried to learn how to do this blog. One of my New Year's resolutions was to become more technology-savvy. So far everything that has been done, one of my daughters did for me. Since I only have a month and a half before a new year, I guess I had better get learning.

I have had all kinds of excuses. First of all I needed to get everyone home so I could do a family picture. Then when we got everyone home to do pictures the wind was blowing about 90 miles an hour, so our pictures didn't look too great, but I finally just decided to go with what we had. I think the real problem is that after sitting at the computer all day long, the last thing I want to do when I get home at night is sit down to the computer again. Hopefully, this will become something so much fun that I can't wait to sit down and do another entry. ha ha
