In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Saturday...


My weekend started with a soccer game. My cousin and I were guilted into going to my niece's soccer game. Actually, a few years ago we were banned from attending them, by my sister, because we yelled too much and too loud! Tell me this...how can you just sit there, and not yell, when your child is close to making a goal! They do. They sit there. Not just my sister, but all of them. Only three people out of all of those parents were yelling. My cousin and I were yelling, and some guy, who I asked why he wasn't coaching!


And here is a little bit about my niece. She is into making purses out of duct tape.


She wants world peace...


and she has this poster of Justin on her wall. And when I saw this I said, "ooooh this reminds me of when I used to have Donny Osmond on my wall." And my sister said, "yeah well, she did not put that poster up, her friend Madison did. She put this poster up."


That's my girl!!!!!!

After the soccer game, and lunch, we went to a church. A very old church.




I love these churches...in old neighborhoods....churches that were built years ago by real craftsmen who were proud of what they did.


Ok.....ahem....


we didn't actually "go to church" we went to this church for a festival.



A french market festival...they had beer and wine and food....lots of food...and bands that played good songs...





and flowers




and artsy stuff....


and here is just a sampling of some of my favorite booths....woven rugs...


flowers made into headbands and pins and such....


Who doesn't love these owls? Who? Who? (OK - sorry)



knitted scarves...my sister bought that orange and pink one because....yes I could make it for her...but not for FIVE BILLS! (Scribe - that means 5 dollars) I know! The yarn cost more than that!




And this lady was yammering away....I have no idea what she was saying because I was coveting these....


religious medals. Some from 1958 she said! Is it wrong to covet religious medals at a church festival? I couldn't help myself. She made some cool jewelry type things with these (notice her neck and arms) and she is doing her "part to spread the message" she said...but I still coveted. I reckon' the next time I go to church, I'll attend the service. Because I'm still coveting...I want to make some of that jewelry with those old medals.

One Edible Plant


Linking up with Verde Farm
for a Farm Friend Friday!

Remember this post from last Spring?








So, I'm wondering...did YOU grow just one edible plant this summer?

I did end up putting some tomato plants in the ground, but they didn't do very well. That's because, that's all I did....was put them in the ground.


(pathetic - I know - I should be embarassed to show you this pic)


My flowers look good though!











So...What'dya grow?

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

First of all, about the picture thing from my last post. When you first open the page that you download pictures on, if you look in the right bottom corner it will tell you how much picture space you have left.

And I cannot post without pictures. I just can't. I've taken pics since I was in high school...probably would have in grade school if I would have been given a camera. I even took a class on developing pics...back in the day when we developed them!

Have you ever listened to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy? Well listen. Click on listen. Are you listening?

We went to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at Conner Prairie on Sunday Evening. We had a blast. Everyone brought tons of food, wine, and a good mood! The weather was perfect. Some of us even went down by the stage and danced. See the people dancing up front? How can you not with this music! There were around 18 of us. And for awhile another couple came over and sat with us. He works with my Shug and sent me a text asking where we were. They found us...amongst all the people.
And check this out....a friend of mine I went to school with from grade school to high school found us too!

We're both Cindy's (see all the people in the background)

My niece and her Mom ( My Sister) My niece was getting in trouble and I had to annoy her by taking a pic! Well, doesn't happen very often!




And these two unruly boys.....drinking.......grape juice!!!! I LOVE all these kids!




Are you still listening? Don't you just love this music? I do. I just puts you in a happy dancy mood all day long!
