Is this our Indian Summer?

Today the temp. is suppose to reach 18C and then as the week goes on gets cooler. Last week we had hail shower - so is this our Indian Summer!!!?
Yesterday while out in the country it was warm and the fields have the corn taken off, and there were flocks of Canadian Geese filling their bellies with corn. Maybe they're getting fed up for their long trip south before the snow flies!!
Well the afterschool sewing club is into its fourth week I can't believe how the time has gone, the kids were so ex… Continue

Beautiful afternoon at the park.


We spent a lovely afternoon at the park and Mohawk lake. The dog enjoyed the walk in the fallen leaves as much as us. We took advantage of the lovely weather and took some nice fall photo's. The trees leaves look so much better when the sky is blue and the sun is shinning. When you get days like that you feel… Continue

After School Sewing Club Update.

Hi to everyone that is following my adventure with the After School Sewing Club. We met for the first time yesterday. We were hoping for 8 kids and we had 7 attend the first session. We are making a pillow. It was the first time for some,bar one that had ever sewn on a sewing machine. And they were pretty excited. They ranged in age from 9 until 14. We started with a little snack as they were hungry coming straight from school. Then into the sewing. They made the pillow form and stuffed it and w… Continue

Hi Ally, Thank you for the encouragement. Today is the assessment for Dad and we plan to move him in on Saturday. Unfortunately his dementia is in a "good" place now where you barely notice it. But it was just a couple weeks ago that he didn't even know who I was, so we are on that roller coaster of good/bad/good. The swearing and other stuff is certainly a part of dementia. They say the last part of the brain that retains stuff is the area that retains all those things we were taught to never say - swear words, sexual inuendo, etc. So it can get pretty surprising and crude. Tomorrow the folks' minister will come over - we've kept him as a "good guy" in all of this. It's going to be a long week, but we are keeping on task. I figure if God has told all of us kids and others that have been praying that yes, we are to do this now, then his vote counts for a lot more than my dad's. My brother is going to come help on Saturday, which will be nice.

Oh Ally, Dad's being good has ended about the move. So far, however, he is just letting out his anger with Mom (not directed at her, but venting to her) and putting on his "game face" with us. Could be a long long week. I'm so tired and drained. We'll get through this, it is right, but it isn't going to be a walk in the park, that's for sure.

Many happy returns
on the day of thy birth,
and may sunshine and gladness
be given.
And may the Dear Father
prepare you on earth
for a beautiful birthday
in heaven.

I'm a little late with my greetings, but hope your day was special! My DS's birthday is tomorrow. He will be 18.

Hi! Ally, yes I am working with Beth moore's video tapes a whole colletion A Woman's Heart. I am still on the first video yet so far Beth is such a awesome speaker. I am enjoying it very much. BJ and I have also been working on a bible study together. Another one of Beth's. I was studing about Esther... and actually was able to see a whole movie about her. WOW even years Before Christ was born she was a powerful woman. I am really into it. I believe too that you are on the other site I have been on for a few years... with Linda Franz Inklingo! I think it is you. I just love doing her blocks too. Well it is very nice to meet you and glad to have you as a friend. Hugs Morgan
