We're off to Chicago for Nathanael's graduation from "A" school. It will be a quick trip. He's done very well. Orders should be posted soon-well-as soon as he gets them!
Tom is hunting and so far they've seen some really nice deer. Now- they just have to be able to get close enough to shoot one! I'm looking forward to some good, fresh, wholesome meat! I'll keep you posted!

Time to post!
Time is ticking right along and I'm still not done with my projects! It usually takes me awhile. I can say that I'm half done with the kitchen makeover and- I must say- it's looking quite nice. Everyone who has seen it likes it. I would much rather be home doing things there instead of working out. I'm not one that "needs" that outlet, I guess.
Well, with fall here that means deer season and hopefully a nice deer or 2 for the freezer! Tom did get a shot at a doe- he figured her to be about 200 lbs.- but it was a bit too windy and must have blow the arrow off just enough. He's going camping/hunting this weekend in Delaware State Park. His cousin's husband, which he has never met, is coming in from vermont and wanted Tom to take him hunting while the cousin visits with Granny. Should be interesting. I hope the effort pays off with a nice deer. Doe or buck- doesn't matter to me -(you can't eat the antlers) but I know all guys like the bucks!
We plan to be in Chicago next weekend for Nathanael's graduation from A school. He will then get his orders and wherever he goes he will complete C school there. That will focus on the particular job he will be doing. He hopes to get on a communications ship- better chance for advancement there. He's done a great job and God has helped him through it all.
My camera broke suddenly so I haven't/can't post any pics. I still hope to remedy that soon!
Good day to all! Enjoy the lovely fall weather!!

All Is Well
Fall has arrived, I believe. I have to take the fence down that protects my garden from the ravenous rabbits and clean it all up. Except for a few vegies it's all done. Of course, that means planning next years garden-which I plan to enlarge. I hope to have a small herb plot, too. Raised beds are going to be the highlight of my changes. They look so neat and orderly and yes, they help in getting more production in a smaller space.
My kitchen makeover is coming along. I'm half done and we really like it. Sorry, my camera quit so I don't have any pics. I hope to remedy that soon!
I can't believe my baby has turned 19! Aaron's b-day was the 8th and Tom's was the 9th. Let's see-that must mean I'm getting older, too! Oh, well, it's bound to happen. I can't say as if I feel old. I'm so glad to be mobile and flexible! I hope I can stay that way til I really am old!
Nathanael will be home for a few short hours this weekend. We're looking forward to it. We're going to have a big dinner and celebrate b-days. He will getting orders soon and hopes to go to VA. We shall see.
I do hope everything is well for all who read this. I enjoy knowing just who does read it! So- please- leave me a comment so I know you're there!
BTW-- my niece- Amber- finally came home from St. Vincent's burn unit this past Sat. She has a long road ahead of her in many ways. A prayer for her and her husband would certainly be appreciated!
Have a great week!

Tagged?!
Ok-I can't say that I'm a real interesting person but, since I've been tagged I'll give it a shot.
1. I've lived in 4 different states since being married-of which Alaska is my favorite.
2. I am # 9 of 10 kids. Yes, that did mean I had it easier than the older ones! After all those kids a parent is bound to be a bit tired by the time they get to 9 & 10!
3. I like a variety of decorating-right now I'm concentrating on the shabby chic and northwoodsy.
4. I used to enjoy riding a motorcycle. Now, I don't think I want to ride one unless there is no other traffic!
5. I enjoy having a large family- when we all get together there are over 100 of us. That's just my immediate family!
6. I always thought it would be fun to own a restaurant.
7. I've been with my husband-who I think is a fun, neat and loving man- for a total of almost 27 years. 24 of those as his wife.
Well! I did it! I guess I will need to TAG someone. I tag Hannah Heintzelman, Laura Heintzelman and Rebecca Pearce.I don't think I know anyone else with a blog that hasn't been tagged!
Ta-Ta!
