This is too much fun! I have used one of these with my kids at church…it’s a blast. Kids of all ages find it amazing. Just add cream, vanilla and sugar….a little rock salt and ice…close it up tightly…and HAVE A BALL! Roll it, kick it, throw it…whatever. And, before you know it…ice cream! I can attest to the fact that kids love it! Me, too!

Our next meeting will be in Birmingham, AL on Friday, November 30. Some of us will arrive Friday morning, and shop…then the Club will meet for dinner. We’ll have breakfast together on Saturday, split up to shop, then meet back for dinner Sat. evening….maybe a gab session, then end with a Sunday morning breakfast or brunch. Now, what else could you do that week-end that would be any more fun? If you are interested, or want more information, just let me know. We’d love to met you!
I have one of these market totes, and I love it! It was given to me by a friend for my birthday, and I use it everyday. I take it back and forth to work with me. The neat thing is it folds completely flat for storage. It is made of aluminum, so it is very lightweight. Also the sides are reinforced and the handles are padded. I know someone on your list would find this useful…I sure have. Thanks Bill and Pat!
Happy Birthday, to the sweetest, bravest young man I know. God blessed me with goodness when He placed you in my life. You show me every day what courage and strength look like. I am awed at your wisdom and gentleness. I pray that God will open His heart and pour out healing and strength on you. We will wait together, my son. I love you with all my heart, Mom.
He said, “It’s time to go.” I told him, “NO! NO! NO!
That’s not the thing to do For folks as nice as you.”
But, he did not agree And, now he’s up a tree.

Can you guess how I feel about deer hunting? Just to think of it, makes me shiver. Any kind of hunting, really. I just don’t get it. But, in this part of the country, it is just the natural thing to do. Boys get started early and get initiated into the whole deer hunting gang by getting covered with the blood of the deer they killed. UGH! Now, I have a nephew-in-law, who married my sweet niece, Tara. She was a sweet girl…totally uncorrupted until she met up with Will. Now, she goes on these expeditions with him. I can not believe she turned like that!:) But, she enjoys it.
Sad as it is that they have chosen this gruesome hobby, I love them both dearly. Will and Tara are both such good, kind young people. They work hard, and I think hunting is their only vice. Will is a big outdoorsman and fishes as well. Tara has become his companion on these outings, and she loves it, too. I am the Director of the Preschool in our church, and Will and Tara are the Assistant Directors. I am training them to take over completely, and they are very capable. There are times, like today, when I am not able to be there because of Alex and I feel so blessed knowing that everything will continue running smoothly and they will take care of everything. They are praying for a special blessing in their lives right now and my prayer is that God will give them the desires of their hearts. I am blessed having them in my life and being able to work along side of them. But, they can ask all they want…I’m NEVER going hunting with them!
I am a Christian woman who has survived many years on the planet. God has blessed me with a wonderful family: husband, 3 sons, a dear DIL, and a precious grandson. I also have dear friends to keep me inspired. I am an artist of sorts and am finding my way through the great blessing of retirement. I recently retired after 20 years as a music teacher. Life is good!
My Boys
