As I remembered 911

Yesterday my heart was so saddened as I remembered the 10 year anniversary of 9 11.

I remember I was working in my hair salon and my sister called and told me about it, I turned on the TV

and watched in horror and couldn't believe this was happening to our wonderful country.

 I have been to NYC . As a matter of fact that is where I took my senior trip.

 I went to the same school 1st. grade through 12th. and there were only 28

kids in my graduating class. As you can tell I grew up in a really rural community and have told

different people before that if it weren't for TV, my sisters and I wouldn't have known much about

the real world. He He But I love my country roots and that has made me the person I am today.

  well to get back to my story, at my school when you were in the 7th. grade you started raising money

for your senior trip, We would have all sorts of fund raisers and by the time we were seniors we

had pretty much enough money to pay for the whole senior trip. Well our senior trip was to NYC,

and you talk about a culture shock. I had never in my life saw such tall buildings, plus many other

things, I won't even mention.  Well I went to a real Yankee's baseball game, I saw a NY play,

went to Macy's and saw the Statue of Liberty and all sorts of site seeing. And I did go up in

the world trade center, twin towers. I was looking at my high school memory book the other day,

trying to get things ready for a class reunion and what did I come across, but a picture I had taken

of the twin towers, some postcards and a brochure. 

 It did sadden my heart yesterday as I watched many of the TV specials on 911, as to why no

prayer or the NYC firefighters weren't allowed.

  I love this great country and never want to forget what this great country of America was founded on.

And may we never forget those who lost their lives in 911 and all the wonderful firefighters and

those who sacrificed for others that day! God Bless the USA.

Beautiful Fall Arrangement

What a wonderful surprise from a wonderful friend Sheila "Seasons of thy Heart" .

Sheila sent me one of her awesome arrangements and a pumpkin make do.  She knew I had

been having some rough spots in the road and just sent me a package of hugs.

 I love my blogging friends and Sheila your thoughtfulness and kindness really touches my heart!

I love Sheila's arrangements so much, and as beautiful as they are in pictures, pictures do them no

justice, they are absolutely stunning in life. Thank you Sheila you are truly a special prim friend!!!

Wonderful Weekend

My husband and I went to our old farmhouse that we are remodling in WV for the weekend. He did several

hours of yard work and I cleaned inside for hours. Then Sat. we rode in the country on back roads and saw

so many beautiful sites. We saw some deer, wild turkey, squirrels and to top the list we saw a mammy bear

and her two cubs. But wild life is very jumpy, so everytime I got my camera to take pictures off they went.

I did get the deer and wild turkey, but they were so far away, it is hard to make out what they are in the

the pictures. We also saw a mother deer nursing her two little fawns, it was so cute and I have never

saw bears out in the wild. What an awesome site to see, and I was safe being in my vehicle. he he

I also managed to finish an entire penny rug. The pattern is a KM primitive pattern. I will share a few

pictures.

New fall items.

I haven't had alot of time for blogging lately with working both jobs and helping out with grandbabies.

Sometimes I will read a post and think I will go back later and comment, but I just don't have the time.

But I love you all and I haven't forgotten about you and love reading your posts.

 I have been working on some fall things. I finally finished up everything. I want to keep a few

things for myself  but may have a blog sale on some of my things. Just a brain storm.

  I may start on another fall penny rug.  Then I  want to make some Winter ones.

  After that I may start on Christmas things for Christmas gifts. It really isn't that far away,

especially if we make our own gifts. Have a lovely day prim friends.

all do at times. And OML Marie, "Primitives form Olde Lady Morgan" sent me a little surprise in the mail.
