What a great fall day

Mike took Brooke and I to the shooting range after our hike. I loved it right up to the part where I whacked my eye with the scope!! I will be ready to go again next time he gets out the guns. It was a great activity for us both to do and I have been searching for something we can do together besides work!!

How cool our shadows look in this photo, right in front of our own targets.











We made it to the top of Sleeping Indian--me signing the page in the canister





Brooke takes great pictures

My Helpers

Jenny--it took her over an hour to sort all my card stock and cards so I can find them quickly now.

Brooke and Jenny, they are way to much fun for this GrandmaWe cooked up this witches brew for Brooke to help her get better--don't worry Dr. J sent it home in a brown paper bag and she drank the first half cup. We had to listen to her gag and spit for a bit but she got it down!! Mike and I both have been through this and we are still alive!!!


Clean Sweep




Mike and I had an old friend come and stay with us a couple weeks ago--his name is Zeke Shoop. To make a long story short I had no place but the couch for him to stay--he did not mind one bit.
I have been thinking about a trundle bed and one of my friends on Monday night knitting just had one to give away!! What a treasure. So two of my friends came over and we did a clean sweep which took one whole evening. Now we have a craft room/guest room so if your party is not larger than 2 you are welcome and we have a place for you to lay your head. I am excited about the prospect of it all.
I can knit, make cards, or any other craft I wish plus have a place to rest and can shut the door. The best part of the whole experience is spending time with Brooke and Jenny--I love how they make me smile.
