Pay it Forward....

This little bloggy thing has been going around and I've been avoiding it but then I realized that it's always good for me to have some kind of motivation to make something - SO:
the first 3 people who comment on this post will get something from me that is handmade this year. Those 3 people must then post a post like this on their blog and commit to send 3 other people something. (handmade/homemade can totally mean food-treats, as far as I'm concerned).

Just put a post like this on your blog, comment in this blog, and wait for something fun from me!

Yes it DOES Snow in Alabama!

Ok once in a blue moon we actually get snow here in Alabama, I posted the proof below.... lol and it was 70 degrees two days ago!

Mom of course went out and made sure that her bird feeders were full!! I have to say that they made pretty pictures.

Ack!!

My baby turned 17 this last weekend... I am already starting to get empty nest syndrom. I also got to talk to two of my other daughters this weekend, I miss them alot! On Friday we went to the Shriner's Childrens Halloween Party. Nicole has finally been released from Shriner's so we will not be going back. She has exercises that she is supposed to be doing two times a day to strengthen her back (so everyone keep after her to do them!!). Scott came down for her birthday and to help me get our winter's supply of wood hauled and stacked... THANKS SCOTT!! Below are some pics from the weekend.

Scotts Sister Summer & Friend Nicole for Halloween.... Spooky!

THE BOOK!!

OMG!! I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book!! Poor Nicole had to watch as I gasped in shock, almost started to cry and laughed my way through. Now she is totally engrossed and does not want to put the book down lol. Great book!!

Camping Pics

A beautiful sunset!

A couple of ducks that kept us company all weekend, it could be because mom kept feeding them.... ya think?

Brennan's First Bass!!

We went camping this last weekend again, and this time we took Brennan (one of my nephews) with us. He got to catch his first bass, and was so excited. It was funny because all morning he was telling me I needed to stop and get "live bait", I kept telling him we did not need any lol. Then I told him the really bad news that I never use "live" bait!! He asked me what did I use and I told him plastic.... he was horrified!! But I promised him that he would catch a fish on my plastic or I would go buy him bait... needless to say I never had to buy the bait!! I have so much fun taking my nieces and nephews fishing, be it creek fishing for trout or bass fishing in the lake. My niece Britnee used to follow me up and down streams that were so cold lol fishing for trout!! I truly miss those times. I will post more camping pics later!
