Halloween Cakes for the School Carnival

Ashley's school has a fall carnival every year, which is alot of fun for the kids and grown-ups too. I am making some cakes to take for the cake walk this year. I'm having so much fun doing this kind of stuff. I don't even mind the clean up! (Those of you who know me well know how i am about mess etc. So that is a big deal to me!) I only have these two made so far so check back for the other one or two that I'll make this evening. (I'm out of eggs!!!) Happy Fall Y'all!!!!

The Shack

Henry downloaded this to his ipod for me this weekend. I listened to it on the way and back from Red River and then finished reading the last 4 chapters last night when we go home. This story was unbelieveable for me. I LOVED it and I think I'll take the recommendation and read it again to make sure I didn't miss anything. I laughed at times, cried at times, I really loved this book. If you haven't read it......YOU SHOULD!

WAY TO GO ASHLEY!!!!

I am soooooo very proud of Ashley. She has been working so hard in school this year, and her grades show it. We had to get used to lots of tests that we didn't have last year. I met with her teachers on Thursday, and she took a practice TAKS test at the second week of school, she will be commended on the test during an awards ceremony toward the end of the year. So when you see my little STAR, tell her congrats!

Rain Rain and More Rain

As usual you can expect a afternoon shower in Red River, but this was a storm. We had lightning, thunder, hail, winds, sleet and even lost power a couple of times. But you know being cooped up in a cozy cabin, in Red River, with the ones you love beats being stuck at home any day!!!!!! We are already planning next years trip.
