In Pajamas and Costumes

My family meets at our house twice a month for Bible Study.  We have not been able to meet this month until tonight...so we made it pj night and/or costume night. I made some beef stew and apple cider and everyone contributed yummies.  I am not sure who had more fun - adults or kids, but seeing my mom and Tommy's mom come in wearing their jammies was worth it all.

Guess who has their attention?

Yep.  Uncle Owen telling tales.

Shannon hiding her desire to kill me for taking her pix.  She is lovely.

Tommy and Oliver...  Look in the background at those munchkins. No, not the big one behind him.

My brother Owen spinning yarns.

Uncle Owen is attempting to tell Emma a fable...as he often does.  This one is about gypsies.

Emma is getting the full scoop.

Will she swallow his story?

Looking skeptical.

Ivy listens closeby to his malarky.

Empty shoes and lost wings at the end of the day.

We love these nights with family!

I have been left in charge of Fred.

Deer Hunting by Phone

I was having a conversation with a friend in my living room yesterday when my brother Owen called.

"I am going deer hunting," he said."Where should I go?" 

"Umm.  Go where the deer are," I answered...rather cleverly.

"Feeder or logging (something - trail?)" He asked very seriously.

"Really Owen, why are you asking me these things? You know I know nothing about deer hunting!"

He said he needed some direction because what he was doing wasn't working.

"Feeder," I said. "Is this really why you called?"

"Yes.  Go where the deer are.  Feeder.  Got it." He repeated my directions as if they really mattered.

"Ok, well have fun," I replied as we hung up.

I then looked at my friend and said, "This time I will get the blame if he doesn't come home with a deer."

Would everyone please ask God to help him kill a deer...on my behalf?

And have a good day!

Fall Festival 2014

Saturday evening was our annual Fall Festival.  It is actually a Thanksgiving feast on the lawn of the Fleming Farm in Santa Fe.  The pictures tell a better story than I could describe.  I think it was our biggest ever.
