this is Lessa’s crew

the T crew and Nonny 

and, the Ladybug crew

and a grand time was had by all – I must remember to take the day off again next year. I was able to go to the elementary school fun parade without worrying about being late back from my lunch hour. Great stuff, I tell ya!

after coming by to pick up their goodies from us they all went to the Boys & Girls Club “Trunk or Treat” fun and then to the Elks Club (well, at least Lessa’s crew did) where The Boy won third prize in his division. Yay!

Back to work I go. See ya

Don’t miss it . . the Circleville (Ohio) Pumpkin Show, that is. This was a favorite part of my childhood memories. Grandma Abbott, Mom, my sis and I would travel over to Circleville from Columbus to take in the Pumpkin Show. Oooh, the smells, the sights, the, the, PUMPKIN-ness of it all!

Look – recipes!

Free admission – with this ticket!

So much to do and so little time – a great big howdy to my aunt and uncle who are seeing out of town family this week – they are coming for the show and will stop by to see my aunt on their way back home.

If you miss it this year – well, you can start planning for next year:

Pumpkin Show 2007
Wednesday October 17, 2007 through Saturday, October 20, 2007

ahhhh great memories. Sure brings back Ohio fall to me to see this website each year. I miss the glorious colors of Ohio falltime. We have golden yellows here, but not the reds of the maples. Some of the lower ground cover and shrubbery takes on the red, but it’s just not the same.

So – if you have glorious fall colors in your home town . . . do me a favor . . . take a photo and put it on your blog and post the address here in my comments, okay? I’d love to make a virtual visit to your hometown.

Mah heart!

Have been busily attending grandkiddos’ concerts the past couple of weeks. Last night was The Boy’s. Lessa has put up a coupla soundbites of last night’s concert. I am still in awe at the sound that comes from these children. (yes, I know the Boy is getting older, but he is STILL my grandbaby #1)

If you will go and listen in to the Boy’s choir, you will understand why we are so inordinately proud of them all.

This is not something I usually do – you all know that. I generally promote something that you are all involved in. But, this time, it is for the Boy. We (our family is a WE, btw – none of us stands alone) will find a way to make sure he gets to go on this trip. If you find it in your heart to help, you will gain much joy – really, you will.

And, if you cannot, we understand that as well. There are so many causes – so many THINGS we can contribute to each day. And, that is okay.

Do go and enjoy a couple of short sound bites from last night’s concert, though. It will bring you joy.

Soooooooo – what’s going on in YOUR neck of the woods?

a call for Help

October 11th, 2006 / Categories: Alaska, Family, Moose Nuggets / 2 Comments »

Hey there, friends – I have a little story to tell you

Our oldest grandson is a freshman this year. (It nearly breaks my heart to have to admit that I am old enough to have a GRANDson that age, btw! Hahaha)

He is a member of the choir at the school and has just been named to the Honor Choir which will result in two days spent learning under an out of state choirmaster and a resultant concert. It is, indeed, an honor for a freshman to be named to this choir, btw.

Another honor is a choir trip next spring to Europe. Yes, I said Europe. (Both of my daughters have gone to Europe and now a grandson – and I have yet to see the shores across the pond.) We are all excited that he is going to get this chance. 

As you might imagine, such a trip – two weeks in Spain and France – sightseeing and singing in huge, very old, cathedrals – is a bit expensive. Lessa tells all about it at her site – complete with itinerary.

Please read – and if you can, please help. And, if you can’t help, please pray for this group of energetic, very normal, but from small town america, teenagers (and chaperones) off in the wilds wonders of Europe.

Lessa will be appreciative. The Boy will as well. The moose? She already loves you all. Thank you in advance.
