What are you reading?

Autumne is reading the book of this cook from France. She is just loving it. Autumne is planning on going to France when she is 21. She is going to start saving for her trip. She said one week will be a treat for me, than the next will be money for France. She has found some recipes to try too.

Gus is reading this book. It's a slow read for him. He would rather read graphic novels, but is learning a lot about this football guy. I think he is a coach, but was a player.

Honoring my dad's b-day today

Today, was/is my dad's b-day. These are his roses. When we came back it was hardly anything. I had to cut it down and it had no leaves on it either, when we finally got it back .

I made a little shadow box to honor him. I got his Zippo lighter. He got it from Korea when he service some time in the Air Forces. Lite a candle and looked at my his/ our roses. Happy b-day Dad! Thanks for being a co-creator in me!

Why pills are to be swallowed

Gus wasn't feeling well. Cold/ allergies or Flu, whatever it is he is sick. I gave him some pills sinus pills and a glass of water. Gus has this face and so I ask," Gus, why the face." He's chewing the big Green pills.

It's a slow process!

" Mom, Autumne has to take if I do, she needs to be tortures like me!"

OMG!!!!! that is horrible.

GREAT GREAT NEWS

Can you see it?! I just can't believe it's true. We have water. See, it's running in a straight fashion, no showering water! YEA YEA YEA!!!!
This has been a gift for us. Why is it not, until you lose something that you appreciate it. Not having the water working in the kitchen, I got to see how sacred water is. How blessed we are to have water coming into my home. I take so much of my life for grant it. This experience really shows me I have a lot of be thankful for. Though it's only when things like this happen that I see the blessings of the simple things in my life: Like a faucet that works, a washing machine, a dish washer and so much more in life. Washing Machine comes this week YEA YEA YEA! How will I be able to contain myself! I will fell like the luckiest Woman in the US anyway!!!

A few more of my creations

This is a vintage fabric. My mom had it when I was a kid about Autumne's age. WOW!! almost 40 year old fabric! This picture showed the design a bit better than the other one. Sorry, about the glare!

Here she is posing!

Made this top from about a yard of fabric. Very comfy!

Here's the back it ties on top and in the middle!
