The ol' homestead

Happy Halloween and the bake sale goodies

The homestead is in Fall mode this week -the leaves are turning and falling and acorns liter the ground, we have been having fun running around the yard just to hear the crunch crunch crunch, and pop pop pop.

What is Fall without a bake sale somewhere and Big Miss deaf/hearing social club had one yesterday. I told her cinnamon rolls and pumpkin rolls would be great, and that is exactly what we made. It seemed like dozens but I am sure it was not quite that many.

Yesterday I also heard from Pianomanjess and it looks like the tire plant will be cutting back with some "temporary" lay-offs. Of course we are concerned as it is very hard to carry this possibility on your shoulders. They have 2 little babies and he is the sole provider..... families such as this would be devastated. But we have a God who has all the answers and we put our trust in him as we wait to see what this economical downturn will do to us all.

A few days ago Cowgirl Cutie came by and I managed to pilfer her camera for a few photos. It is rare I get one of my sis, but I found a great one of her and Cowgirl.

And here is one of Cowgirl and her beau, "Z"

 Tonight I will be escorting an army girl and Elvira, and dang it, they better have more energy for "tricks or treating" alot more houses this year cause they seem to get more protective of their candy-sharing..... darn those kids when they start whining about being cold or their feet hurting..."why, back in my trick or treating days, I could..."

Happy Halloween to those of you who

celebrate -and

blessed day to those of you who don't.
