Good Morning World!...
    Here is a really old photo probably from 1977...I think Bonnie Jo is about 1 1/2 here...and Carol's sister Sandra was there with her Dad Hubert, and her first son, I think.  Behind us was their Dune Buggy "Myrtle" that we use to drive to College alot and on vacations.  Sandra shared this photo, and I had never, ever even seen it at all!  wow.  So it was about 38 years ago...a long long time! THanks Sandra...those were the great Days of our youth!
   
Thanks to Debbie-- "Bird Lady" she has me picking up interesting shaped leaves this year.  she draws them and does art work...I plan to make greeting cards in my spare time.. haha!  They all are so unique, and beautiful!  These were from the court house this week in Yreka, Ca.  We spendt 2 full days there on Debbie's trial for her separation from Dave.  it was terribly long and complicated and emotional for all concerned.  not very fun...but we managed to incorporate some laughs during our breaks!  


here we are on a quick walk.
this is a viedo /story I made of our 2 days together!

Wednesday night we went to the Christmas Spectacular at the Church of Nazarene on Evergreen st. It was a fantastic show..all local talent of people in Siskiyou County.  What a display of love and dedication they showed!  It was part of Mack's 60th B-day present!


this is a quilt I am working on for Mack's 60th Birthday...this sunday...it won't be done but I might get the top sewn together-- and hopefully quilted by Christmas!


Here are some small deer at our mail box.  They were there when I came home on Tuesday afternoon. The little babies are so sweet.

These are rose hips that I picked on Machado Lane.  Tried to make some Jam from them but it was harder than I expected because it has alot of seeds.  Gave it a good try though.  Wendy liked hearing about my experimentation of this new resource. haha!






Here is Lic Lic...she is in her chair inbetween getting in trouble for running wild in the neighborhood. She is an escape artist.  She is sweet and I love her very much!


Teaca..is a small sheep dog...the smallest of the bunch..belongs to Mikes son.

TJ with the other babies too!

Little Dutchess..she is a sweetie!

Here is Bruiser, Brutus?  I always get his name screwed up.  Anyway he is doing well now and recovered from his illnesses.  has a better diet now and it should help.

The Dober is Mikes dog..he is huge!




These are the pictures we drew this week of the 3 little kids I babysit at church on  each Tuesday.
 Little Isaac fell off the chair and hurt his side on the chair while I was in charge.  I felt so bad..but I think he was gonna be ok.  He yelled and screamed loudly and his mom came to the rescue of bad babysitter...it's been along time but usually they don't get so rough and tough.  I hope I don't get fired!




Some bright red trees in Jacksonville last week ...Just amazingly beautiful!



This salad dressing doesn't look too hard to make.

Wednesday of this week Eric sent me this picture of the process they are undergoing. Our hopes and prayers are with them each and every minute!

7:00 am thursday going to Big Springs to pick up Debbie for 2 days of court trial.  It rained for the whole time.
 This about winds up my last 2 weeks...it has been most interesting..each and every day. Tomorrow is Mack's 60th Birthday.  We will go to Casa Ramos for Dinner and that is all.  He had a big party last year and this year we are just gonna hang out.  He likes quiet really!....not me...
Happy 60th Birthday Sweet Hubby of mine!
