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?!

When September Ends

It is the last day of September and I keep asking myself, "Where did the time go?!?!". It seems like the beginning of the month was just yesterday. Maybe that means I was too busy?

It is also Fall now, and the landscape declares the season in colorful charades! This weekend we are expecting some old family friends from Ohio! They decided to make a spur-of-the-moment trip just to come visit! That should be very exciting I'm sure. 

I hope you enjoyed your September. Until next time.....

P.S. I have a song running through my head right now that goes, "wake me up when September ends", and all I can think of is, "why would anyone want to do that?!!? ..skip the summer and wake up just in time for the snow?! No thank you!" ;)

2011 National Coffee Day!

Yes, it is truly a day of celebration. 

A day when we drink our coffee with cheer. 

This day we brew a pot with great elation, 

 



Thankful to drink coffee every day of the year!

Beets Me!

"What didst thou do today?" says you....

"Beets Me!" says I.....

Yes, I peeled beets all day. 
Just thought you should know. ;)

It's definitely not the cleanest job! Your hands turn purple! My mom and I did a big bowl full that we plan to can now that they are "skinned". 

Oh my lanta! ...... MY HEART JUST SKIPPED A BEET!!!

Have heart my dear! ;)


O.K..... I'm being ridiculous. Actually this is all just embarrassing. In fact... I'm turning beet red.

Updated

In case you're wondering why my blog list shrunk, it's because I put all of the rarely updated blogs in a list down below. After checking numerous blogs that only had ancient posts displayed I decided it was time to make a museum list. ;) Haha! 

But never fear.... you can scroll down a bit and to the left you will see a list titled, "Bloggaphobia (rarely updated blogs)".  

I sure hope you're not one of them. ;)
