Service to Our Country

Today is Veteran's Day, and it brings back memories of when Eric & I met while we were serving our country at Misawa Air Base, Japan.  Some of my best years were spent working alongside him! ❤️🤍💙

Happy Veteran's Day to all who serve and have served!

Christy & Jackson's Fence

Eric & our boys helped Jackson (and Christy) build a fence so they can let their dogs run free!  😃

Jack o' Lanterns

The kids carved pumpkins!

First Fire

First fire of the season! ❤️🔥❤️

Anniversary Weekend

Our anniversary weekend starts now!  A little appetizer tonight, and then the main course on Sunday, the 27th (our actual anniversary).  26 years and it just keeps getting better and better! 😍🥰

Camping & Campfire Cooking

It's our last camping adventure of the season!  We're already looking forward to next year! :-D

 

My Craft Classes

My craft classes are fun to lead at the YMCA, and autumn crafts are my favorite! 🍂🍁

Hard-working Man

My hard-working hubby has been cutting firewood for our wood stove during his time off from work, and I still can't believe how I ended up with such a great guy!  I love him so much!! 😍

Autumn Hair

 Thankful for hair professionals who do such a good job!

Sensational Sunset

Last night's sunset on our western trail!

Full Super Moon

Beautiful full moon behind our house last night.  It took a while to brighten up, but it was worth the wait!

Big Woods State Park

Starting off the weekend right at Big Woods State Park!  My older kids informed me that my picture-taking privileges are maxed out for the month, so only the twins wanted to say cheese this time. 😁

Hidden Bluffs Camping

We're camping at Hidden Bluffs with the boys for the next few days...just a couple hours from home.  We spent the lovely evening enjoying campfire hamburgers, hotdogs & s'mores! 😋

Little Ireland/Scotland

Misty morning. Sometimes I feel like we should build a stone wall and it will feel like Ireland or Scotland out here. 

Wildflowers for the Pollinators

We love supporting our local pollinators!  

Christy's Quail

Christy & Jackson are raising quail at their place, and they gave us our first batch of eggs today!
