The Bed

Hello ladies! We have been busy this weekend. The bed is finished. We loaded it up in the van and took it down to Dave and Jessica’s. The van was packed pretty full.

We got started putting it together as soon as we got there. Daniel was a great helper.

I tried to show the trim Hubby put on it. The pictures did not turn out as well as I had hoped.

The finished product. Jess said I should have wanted until she had it made up but I didn’t think about that. It looks really good with her comforter and everything on it. We stayed overnight at Jessica’s. It was late when we got it all put together and we were very tired. David helped Hubby work on the van today. They think they have the brake issue fixed. On the way down yesterday, we started having trouble with the battery on the van so they worked on it today too. Hopefully, all the vehicle issues are fixed for a while.

We came home this evening and hurried to fix a fire. The inside temperature was 55 degrees. Pretty cold. It is warming up nicely though. It was very nice down at Jessica’s. When we left, they were all outside on the porch and the boys were playing in the yard. Well, we have lots to get done. I wanted to show you all the pictures of the bed before I got too busy. Enjoy your day and God bless.

Wednesday

Hello ladies. It has been very cold here in Floyd today. Temperatures have been in the upper 30’s but the wind has made it seem like 20’s. We had snow flurries yesterday but nothing stuck to the ground. This morning was extremely overcast but by late afternoon the sun came out for a little while.

The girls and I worked on school in the morning and then we helped Hubby set up Jessica’s bed. No pictures yet as he has not put the headboard and footboard on. He says we will have to put them on after we take it down to Jess. It would be too big to fit in the van if we put it together here. We are thinking we will take it down to them Saturday, if all goes well.

Yesterday, the girls and I went down to Jessica’s. Sam and Katie had appointments so we went to help. On the way back home, Sam feel asleep. I carried him up to his crib, we ate lunch and then left. Sam was very upset when he woke up and found out MawMaw was gone. Jess had to call me and let him talk to me on the phone.

I hope you all have a great evening. God bless.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello ladies, I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. For some reason, things have been busy around here and it’s been difficult for me to make a post. Grace is feeling better and I thank you all for your prayers for her. So far, we have been blessed that no one else has gotten sick.

We are on Thanksgiving break from school. The girls are very happy. Today is planned out as just a fun day. We will watch a movie, The Prince of Egypt, also play a few games, and listen to Christmas music. I will also be busy baking today. We are doing Thanksgiving at Jessica’s. Everyone is bringing something. I am to bring the rolls and the ingredients for punch. The punch we all love is called Angel Punch. Jessica’s grandmother, Marie would always make this punch at Thanksgiving and Christmas. We really like it.

My bread machine just beeped so it is time to start shaping the rolls. I better get busy. I pray you all have a safe and happy thanksgiving. God bless.

Sunset

Hello ladies! I was sitting here trying to think of a picture to use for this post. I looked out the window and there it was. BEAUTIFUL! and to think I almost missed it. God is so good to allow me to see such glimpses into His character. Obviously He loves color.

Today started off pretty warm. When we got up the temperature was 49 degrees. It has however dropped all day. Now it is 35 degrees and the wind has picked up all day. I think we are forecasted to be in the teens by morning. YUCK! Well, outside may be getting chilly but inside our fire is keeping us nice and warm.

I hope you all have a wonderful evening and God bless.

Saturday

Hello, ladies. Seems like we have been busy here for the last few days. Friday, I worked all day (in my spare time) on aprons. I managed to get two finished. I took them down to the Bread Basket for selling. She had sold all my aprons except one. YEAH! This month is our month to clean the church and mow the churchyard. We went Friday evening to do this. Grace took this picture of the sky on our way over to the church. Hubby did the mowing and weed eating while the girls and I cleaned inside. Our homecoming is tomorrow morning and then our revival starts tomorrow evening. Here is a picture of the inside of our church.

Twice a year, our church sponsors a clay shoot at the Coonhunter Club here in Floyd. Today we had about 25 shooters. The girls and I stayed for a while and then we had to go to C-burg to buy ink. Monday we will be starting school and I needed a few supplies.

I guess I better get busy. We will be having a fellowship meal following services tomorrow. Enjoy your day and God bless.

Update on Sell

Hello ladies. I thought I would give you all a quick update on how things went today. Not near as good as I hoped but I know it could have been worse. I sold $22.50. The rolls were the big hit. I sold all of them and 1 bag of laundry soap. No dishcloths sold or aprons. Well, at least I know now what to take next time. My friend told me I could set up anytime. So I think next time I’ll make rolls and cinnamon rolls. Anyway, I’m $22.50 richer than I was this morning and it really was a good day. I got to visit with my friend and her family and meet lots of diffferent people. I definitely will do it again, maybe even next week.

Enjoy your evening and God bless.
