My Snapshots

What have we been up to in the past month? Take a look and see:


This month just flew by!



Gv created 3 wood projects at the library this month - I can't get over the fancy pen she turned on the lathe!



She auditioned for her first "real" theater production and got the part - Belinda Crachit in A Christmas Carol!



Gv made all the food we brought to our family Thanksgiving and this bread shaped like a turkey was so fun!


A definitely frame-able photo -- her headshot for the show program.


And that pretty much wrapped up the month! I wonder what wonderful memories next month will bring?

My Snapshots

What have we been up to in the past month? Take a look and see:


This month just flew by!


Our 4-H club entered a scarecrow contest and the kids came up with this Minecraft-themed entry.


Our beloved local nature preserve held its annual Wildflower Festival and our 4-H club volunteered.


Our library added another fun class - woodburning - that Gv was able to try her hand at.


Gv's Halloween costume this year - we've been watching this show at lunchtime - and the dress was mine as a child!


And that pretty much wrapped up the month! I wonder what wonderful memories next month will bring?
