Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving this year was so so nice we enjoyed the company of our daughter and her family our son-in-law's father and his friend and of course mom was here. We don't do much turkey around here but love our ham so we had that plus all the other fixings. Friday Natalie and I headed out at 3:10 am shopping and got home right before the great Auburn/Alabama game which btw was super great for me, not so much for papa. We sure miss our son and his family and keep praying everday that God will help bring them all back to us.

Apples and Birthday for Kaylee

Kaylee made it to the very top of the monkey bars!

Funny Face Mylee

I just love those pretty eyes!

Kierstyn loves her some apples between us we might could eat a bushel!

Knoxie and Kaylee he gets more attention from her than any of the other rovers she tells him daily "I love you Knoxie"

Happy Birthday my sweet Kaylee Bug!

sewing room flooring

We are at it again this time up to our ears in flooring. Papa and I both don't care much for carpet and since the grandbabies are here most of the time the 3.5 year old carpet needed to go. So off to lumber liquidators we went. I finally decided on one called Embassy Mahogony it is 12 mm thick so hopefully the wear time will be good. It has a 30 yr warranty. The color is darker than our other hardwood flooring throught the rest of the house. But since it only joins in the door ways it look fine. We have finished one room this weekend, my sewing room. The rovers will be over this evening for supper so now all we need to do is put everything back in it's place.

Pie and Lunch with 2 small rovers

This wonderful pie is blueberry I just love the recipe it's quick and easy everyone who tries it loves it. My cousin generously gave me enough blueberries to make two pies. The recipe came from a friend years ago who also grew blueberries it has a secret ingredient well seems like it should be a secret it's sour cream.

Knox enjoying his watermelon he ate almost 4 pieces in his little shew thing (can't remember what it is called).

It's our sweet boy eating his sweet potatoes and mango.

I must teach Mylee table manners soon today she decided that her feet should be included in the meal.

Now I must clean up the floor, table, little hands and faces and oh not to forget those chubby little toes of Mylee.

Canning and Sewing

I have been sewing alot just not posting my work here are a few things I have done over the last couple of weeks for customers. I have made the girls several things and I will try to post some pics of them in their new Nonnie mades.

Our little garden is finally producing some tomatoes this apparently is not going to be a good year for them but I was determined to make some salsa this year. I used a package mix and added tomatoes, bell pepper, banana pepper and onions. It turned out really good, we have already tried some since it is ready to eat once you simmer it for about 10 minutes. The pickled pepper is a test run since the last time I made it my peppers were to mushy to eat. We will test them out on Sunday since it will be one week they should be ready.
