Our Weekend....

Well, we knew it was going to be a busy weekend, but it sure was enjoyable. Friday evening while hubby was fishing, Maygan and I went to the auction and found these treasures.

Old Stool~I might repaint it or just stain it? not sure



Berry Tote



Misc Advertising Pieces



This is my Poor Man's Coverlet



Crock Chicken Waterer (is that a word?)


Found some neat things and spent a total of $13.00~ woohoo


Saturday's Grad Party/Pig Roast

Here's dinner coming off the roaster, it was on for 12 hours...



The bonfire was cool, a hollow log filled with metals gave off Blue and Green Flames




Yesterday, we wanted something to do as a family, there was only one stipulation, Maygan said it had to involve water, LOL. So we got going early with only one direction in mind, Lake Erie. Along the way we stopped at a Flea Market in Mayville, NY.
Then we continued on, taking the scenic route...went to Barcelona where Maygan got to swim a bit.

Me looking for Sea Glass



We started off again along Rt 20, heading towards Erie, PA. To bad it was Sunday cause we passed a bunch of little shops and markets but most were closed :(
This is all you see for miles and miles....it's Wine Country...lots and lots of grapes!


We did make it to Erie, had dinner and headed back home...We made one giant circle, never backtracking....it was a great day, lots of picture perfect scenery and good company.

Catchin' Ya Up Friday

Holy Smokes! It's been awhile since my last post....yes, summers here and I've been busy....mowing yard, pickin' Strawberries, crafting and oh, the everyday stuff too.

~Thank You Kind Folks
Last week one day Maygan wanted to have a Lemonade Stand. I tried to explain to her that we live on a country road and not to expect many (if any) sales, cause there just isn't much traffic. She insisted that she still wanted to try so we made special Star Ice Cubes, Pink Lemonade and fixed up a table to sell from. Bless her little heart, she sat there for over an hour watching what few cars there were pass right by. Me, I'm sittin on the porch, hooking a rug, also waiting and praying for just one customer. Then, it happened....a State Road Crew Truck passed and put on the brakes...beep, beep, beep...it was backing up! Out of her chair she jumped, so excited and was the best Pink Lemonade Sales-Woman I've ever seen. She sold 5 Glasses, all at one time and instead of a Quarter a Glass, they all gave her 50 Cents a glass. She thanked them all for stopping as did I, many times before they left. As they drove away, she started tidying up her table, meanwhile singing a happy little tune. Those Kind Folks had made her day!

This was almost her 6th Customer that day~~~~

This guy decided to stroll into our driveway after the Lemonade Stand closed for the day...He was only 2 feet away from where Maygan was sitting 2 hours earlier...kinda scarey! Yep, I'm hiding behind Massive Rocks we have in our yard snapping pictures.

I made a couple sweet Raggedies yesterday, here is a glimpse at what I've been working on...they are all up and available on my website..

One of these Witch Punkins will be included in my Mystery Giveaway, don't forget to leave a comment on the Giveaway Post to be entered into the drawing July 7th!

Some of my Summer Perennials are starting to bloom, this is one of my favorites.....Red Bee Balm.....


We are going to have a busy Saturday, lots of parties! A wedding at 11am, I used to babysit the Bride to Be when she was just a little girl. Congratulations Brigit & Ken, may you be Blessed with many, many years of Happiness!

Then we are off to a Graduation Party/Pig Roast in the evening. It will be lots of fun.

And,
