Hangin' out on a dreary rainy Sunday...

(Guest blogger today: Izaac) This picture was literally taken minutes ago, while Uncle Johnny was making his famous chocolate chip cookies and trying to make me smile--since every time I get really cute or funny, Aunt wowo gets out a camera (either the digital or the video) and I instantly get very sober and boring!
If she wants a performance, it's going to cost her!! We've had a great day, playing, sleeping, banging toys, talking, and watching Uncle Johnny very closely.
The cats are interested in Uncle Johnny's supper-something about salmon filets I think--and they keep sniffing the air to get closer to the plates. Those funny kitties. I like to watch the dog, too, even if it makes some weird noises sometimes. The dog came up the stairs and into my (Alex's) room at 5:15am this morning because it was thundering, but I didn't mind sharing, and went instantly back to sleep. later now... "Zaac"

Trainman and Patrick (Montag)

This is a picture of the Trainman and his cousin, Patrick, at the rehearsal dinner for Patrick and Hannah's wedding in Chicago in August (this year). I haven't taken any interesting pictures (like Rachel and Maria always seem to) so I'll go backwards because there are some fun ones from the dinner and wedding and dance afterwards!

Izaac coming to Camp Stanhope, so busily cleaning the messes I've made this week. I love this fast internet! later now..

Yard work and sewing...

This is a picture of my Uncle Wayne and Izaac on Sunday, 10/7. We had an assortment of homemade favorites my mom whipped up, including meat loaf, baked mac & cheese, french oven beef stew, carrot salad, homemade french bread and dinner rolls, and for dessert, 2 apple pies and pecan rolls, fresh from the oven! yikes.

It rained 2 1/2 inches over Saturday/Sunday and then another inch overnight and on Monday. I mowed the whole 3 acres on Tuesday, but had to wait till afternoon, and then there were still sections of fairly-damp grass. Today I got out a couple of projects from TWO years ago, and it went okay, but the cats wanted in and out 24 times because it was REALLY cool outside today! (about 55 for the high)

Went to handbell choir and got all the evening animal chores done, so I'm going to bed!! later...
