Fall Break

This past weekend I ventured to Georgia to visit with Chrisa (it was convienient that our fall breaks were the same time!) I drove the ENTIRE way by myself and did not get lost. However, here I was crusin along and I see a sign that 106 is closed ahead and local traffic only. I thought it would be down to one lane but BINGO I was wrong! All of a sudden the road came to a complete end with signs in the middle of the road(if the signs weren't clear enough there was dirt AND a excavator as well). Thankfully they had the detour well marked with signs and afer a 'few' phone calls I made it safely to Chrisa's. (And thanks to many prayers on my behalf!) We had quite the fun weekend (we did squeeze a wee shopping trip & also had lunch with Uncle States and Aunt Jane, among other various activities) because it zoomed quickly by!
I didn't actually take any pictures until the way home. The leaves were so gorgeous I stopped at an overlook and took a few pictures.

As I was driving along it brought to mind Noah, when God promised he would nevere flood the whole earth again. The creation is also marred by sin but the seasons still remain and the leaves continue to turn into beautiful fall colors. Genesis 8:22: "While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, And day and night shall not cease."God is not only merciful and gracious to His children by forgiving, loving and taking us as His own but also giving us His beautiful creation to enjoy!

Finally!

The weekend of October 4th Clara, Ann, a good friend of Clara's from college, Gabe, Mya, Alena, Chrisa, Meg, Uncle Randy and Aunt Missy (Dad's youngest sister) all came for a visit! Chrisa and Meg performed their duo recital on the 5th.

After saying all of that, we did not take too many pictures since it was a pretty busy weekend. Uncle Randy took some of the kids and Chrisa and Meg lookin pretty in their dresses.

The house sure was quiet when they all left but it was a fun weekend! :)

Uncle Randy took pictures of Chrisa and Meg all dressed up. This was one of my faves:)

Long Time...

Someone was saying it has been a while since I had updated you blog viewers on my interesting musings...so here you go. :) Actually I am going to put some pictures up (later this weekend) but they are not available as I type this so ya'll will have to wait. So in the midst of waiting I hope ya'll are having a WONDERFUL day! :)

Spider Sac!

Here is the promised picture of the Garden Spider egg sac! This brings to mind Charlotte's Web. (Will Tempelton come and save them) If these baby spiders hatch we are going to have an abundance of garden spiders!

Pianos and Spider Sac

Chrisa and her roommate Megan perfromed their duo recital this past Friday. Dad and mama were there to hear them (and from what I heard there was quite the turn out!) but since none of her sisters were there to hear it she and Meg are coming in this weekend to perform it again.

In other news...mama trimmed up her crepe myrtle tree today and guess what she happend upon? A brown 'blob' that looked very much like something that had been left over from our friend the garden spider. So...once again I got on the internet and what did I happen upon but a picture that looked like the brown blob outside. However, it was dark when I finally looked it up so my anxious blog views will have to wait for a picture... :)
