The School House on Table Rock

Back in the days, there used to be a schoolhouse on our property. Of course it was not our property back then. The schoolhouse was located on the hill that we call "Table Rock". It's now covered with trees but apparently back around the time of this schoolhouse there weren't any trees on the hill. It was covered in long grass. We call it "Table Rock" because at the top of the hill there is a huge rock that is flat on top. You can climb up on it... it's round and fairly smooth, ...maybe like a table? ;) Yeah, anyway. Just some fun stuff. I love old pictures, and old stories of back in the days.
Here's a picture taken this October when we took a hike up to the big rock on the top of the hill.

Finishing Your Pie Crust

As I said in an earlier post, we had our very good friends from Ohio visit us in the beginning of the month. It turned out that Paul really enjoyed pie making and I had been planning on making an apple pie that weekend, so we took over the kitchen for a couple hours and had a good time baking! Anyway, when it came down to finishing up the crust Paul did it in a really neat way and I just had to take a video! 
Since it is pie season I thought that y'all may enjoy Paul's cool way of finishing a pie crust. I hope you enjoy it and try it out!

The Princess Project: Introduction

I don't know what made me come up with such a crazy idea, but I've decided to write a series of blog posts on lessons that can be learned from fairytale princesses. What that means is that I have noticed that there are so many young ladies (and even some older ones) that are anxiously (or maybe patiently) awaiting "Prince Charming". I don't know how it's all going to come about but when I get an idea it usually doesn't go away easily. We'll see how it goes, but I'm hopeful that maybe whatever comes about will encourage ladies that there is a better and a right way to wait for/go about relationships. 

I think there are some things we ladies (and even guys) can learn from the "Happily Ever After" stories.

I'm going to start with the most beloved and popular fairytale of all...... Can you guess which it will be?!
