Christmas 2009

Christmas, 2009 is over, all the kids made it home for our family Christmas on Dec. 27th.
What a wonderful day we had, it is always such a joy to have the family home. I am so thankful that the weather turned out pretty good for everyone to travel.
We got wonderful news that day, Jolyn and John are expecting a baby Aug. 1st. We are really thrilled to have our 10th grandchild on it's way.
Here is hoping everyone has a wonderful New Year!!!! Let's pray that everyone will be safe, healthy and happy. Happy New Year to all!!!!

Is this Indian summer?

I can't believe how nice is it, but we sure are not complaining. Seems more like October than November. They have started combining corn now and got the beans out last night.
Glad to see the farmers working in the fields again. Sure feel for them.
Dad started chopping stalks for MBS, think he kind of likes doing that in the fall.
Dad also got a new shop door put on and a new walk-in garage door put on. They were in pretty bad shape, so should make a difference with the weather.
Can't believe how those Hawkeyes are doing, going to the game again Sat., hope they keep up the exciting plays.
Still haven' t found the wall hangings I want for the kitchen. Will keep looking.
Hope everyone has a good week.

Short fall season?

I sure hope this doesn't mean we are having a short fall season. I always enjoy the fall weather, but this fall is seems so much more cold than it has been for a while.
We have everything put away for the winter already. Even put the outdoor furniture and garden things away yesterday, usually don't put them away till the first of Nov. But the weather sure hasn't been very fall like. So might as well get things done now. Hope we have a little more nice weather before the snow starts falling.
Today a couple grandsons are staying, Jacob and Austin. Nice to have them here.
Still looking for my wall hangings for the kitchen, will blog them when I find them.
Stay warm and pray for some nicer weather so the crops can be harvested.

Short fall season?

New look in the Kitchen

While Dad was in Minnesota fishing last week, I took on the project of painting the kitchen.
Decided to get bold and go with a green color, these walls are called relaxation green, will look better when the curtains, rugs and seat cushions come

The west wall is called golf course green. Took me a while to get use to that wall, but after I painted the other walls the other green, really like it now.

Fall is here!!!

I have to say, Fall is here!! The trees are turning and the leaves are falling. I just love this time of the year, and more so this year, as I can enjoy the days at home watching the changing trees.
Jay is fishing in Northern Minnesota this week with Brent, Rob, and Paul, also Gene, Fred and Wally. Hope they catch some good fish.
I find it is quite quiet around the house with Jay gone, I am glad he went though, he does enjoy the time with the guys. I have gone to lunch with my friend, Ellie. Have many projects that I want to get done, rather I do or not, that is the question!!!!
Hope everyone enjoys this beautiful weather we have had and the changing colors this fall.
Happy Fall to everyone.!!!
