In Loving Memory of Mom

February 22, 1930 - October 8, 2010

To My Mom

Your love and life lessons will always live on,
Even now that The Lord has called you home.

In my heart and in memory, forever will you stay,
It will be as if you, Mom, never went away.

You were my Mom, my advisor and my friend,
For that I will be thankful for, till the very end.

You have taught me oh so much, Mom
From the day that I was born.

I learned how to love, sew and bake
You taught me how to give and how to take.

Now that I’m a Mom and have a daughter too,
I will live everyday trying to be the Perfect Mother
Just like you

Your Daughter,
Traci

If flowers grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.

Happy Fall Ya'll

It doesn't feel much like Fall here this week, temps in the upper 80's but it's official in my book. The PA kids went back to school today. Maygan started to finally get excited just last week, until then she wasn't ready to go back, her first day as a Second Grader was great.

So with no one here to hollar..... Mom--where are you.....Mom----can I have something to eat.....Mom---can we go do something....Mom---can you get me a drink..(not that I don't love every one of those Moms)...I got to spend the day in the sewing room and finished up some New Prims for my Website today. I just got done listing them, it's seems like it's been forever since I did any crafting.

So, if ya get a chance, pop over to my website and take a peek at my newbies. Here's a little peek at one...

Hopefully, now that we are back on a schedule, I'll be able to post more here on my blog and also do some reading of your blogs over my morning coffee.

Have a Great Evening,

Summer's Drawing to a Close

Where has the Summer Gone? Boy, it seems like school just let out for the summer and now it's about to resume.
I took some time off recently and enjoyed every minute of it. I guess the only highlight of the last few weeks is spending 10 days at the County Fair. We got to see many of our friends and family that also camp there, as well as the Music Events, Truck/Tractor Pulls, Rides, Animals and of course Fair Food! Here are a few pics of our week.

Maygan and I entered some of our crafts and baking in for judging. Maygan won a First, 3 Seconds and a Fourth. She dressed up a Cucumber as a Kangaroo, made Cookies and Muffins and 2 Flower Arrangements.

Now, we have got to get the school shopping done, haven't even started yet and school starts Aug. 31st. I hope then that I can get back to the sewing machine and making prims.
