Day #5 Signage

This sign is so, so exciting!

Day #4 Photo Challenge Your Handwriting

I guess I never use cursive. I print/write. Do they still teach cursive in the schools?

Day #3 Harvest Photo Challenge

I love all the different shape and colored gourds available. I got these at a garage sale, 10 for $1.

And It's Gone

He finally did it. The Dad has been threatening for years to take down the pool. I finally agreed with him after this summer. It simply does not get used. I think the two kids home here, swam in it about 10-15 days the.whole.summer. They aren't thrilled as you can see by the (blurry) look on Danny's face. Although, Danny did tell me later that evening, "I don't care that the pool is down. I'm just going to ignore it. Anyways, it's fall." The pool is heading over to Sara and Jon's. I know their kids will enjoy it for many years!

Day #2 Macro

I am going to miss this fruit when it goes out of season. It is my go to snack.

Photo Challenge

Today I'm starting a Photo Challenge Hosted by Yvonne. 
Today's challenge is a picture of you when you were little. Wow, that was quite a challenge. To find one, that is. I cropped this out of one of the pictures my brother Brian scanned of my Dad's slides.

I got kind of side tracked as I was looking for a picture of little me. I dug out a box of goodies. In it were ALL the letters Fred and I wrote while we were dating. Yes, we had to hand write on paper, put a stamp on and mail. I read a few. They made me smile. 

Also in that box, were my journals. I kept journals from November 1972 through December 1973. I was 15 and 16 years old. It was a trying time in our faith, so some of the entries made me cry. I remember I read the journals once, many years ago. I was still fairly young because I remember being so embarrassed about how I sounded. Now as I read several entries, about "haps" and people they made me smile and it was like reading something new as I don't remember a lot of the incidents.
