Toilet Paper Wedding Dress!!!

Michele sent me this photo after she attended a bridal shower where they had to dress the bridal party in toilet paper. She asked if I had ever seen or done this.. I hadn't and thought you all might enjoy seeing how creative they were.

Thurs. Sept. 24th

This is Dr. Pam, my plastic surg. I met her 13 years ago when she did my reconstruction surg. She and I have many interests in common including quilting. Come Dec. she is retiring - sad for me. BUT, she's invited me to visit her at their farm where she will be raising alpaca...spinning yarn and wants to also learn to weave. The land has been purchased...the house and barn etc must be built...so it will be at least a year. I gratefully accepted the invite.

After we got home from Dr. Pam's appt. - Becky came for breakfast and to pick up ALL the soda cans, tabs. and box tops for kids that most of you have been saving for Cayton. They say a BIG THANKS to EVERYONE for helping for this project to help Autism. Keep saving them!

Brad, Vivien, Keith and I went to dinner at the Greshville Inn near Boyertown. We hadn't been there for over 20 years. It's still the same inside and the food is still VERY GOOD. We needed a night with these two....we've both been so busy and before we know it, we'll be leaving in the RV.

Wed. Sept 23rd - Marathon Day

Keith and I had to drive to Harrisburg...unexpectedly. So we ran around getting everything we needed to drop off at Henderson Tarp in Middletown and left home at 11:30. Our appt. was at 1 p.m. so I called Dawn and Carlton to see if we could stop by Hershey Thousand Trails to say our good byes. We were with them from 2:30 to 4:30. Got a call from Pam and Gene while we were visiting....they insisted we stop by to visit with them in Robesonia on our way home.

Here's Gene and Pam's twin grandbabies. Above is Trevor Ray; the broozer! Gene and Pam came up from Fl. to help with the new born twins; born 1 month ago. They will be heading back to Fl. when the twins are 8 weeks old.

This is Liza Mae and what a princess she is. We've been up to see the twins right after they were born...can't believe how they've changed and grown.

We got home at 10 p.m.!

Tues. Sept. 22nd - Lee and Judy to the rescue

The slide motor FINALLY came in. Our appt. was at 9 a.m. We called Lee and Judy who just came back from a 9 month trip in their RV. Their RV and ours is identical; just 2 years difference in age. As soon as they heard that we were at Grumbine's RV just 15 miles from their home, they insisted on taking us to breakfast. Here we are at the best little Deli having the special; THE TURBO! We sat and traded information about what they learned on their trip...and we shared anything we knew about the RV. It's always good to be with these two...they are the BEST!!! Thanks you guys:)

Monday 21st - John for the day

Steve and Di were having new windows installed so we had John for the day. He really likes to go for wagon rides.

Reading books is still the first thing John wants when he comes in the door. So before Di left she read just one more to him.:)

I couldn't resist this shot. It reminded me of the little boy in Forest Gump...when Forest asked if the little boy was his.

Just one more photo of John hanging out our livingroom window. Now that he's bigger, he knows to look for the traffic going by the front of our house...especially the TRUCKS.

Grandparents Day

Keith, John and Steve outside the diner....

Steve called early, said John was up and dressed and did we want to go to breakfast with he and John. Di was on call this weekend.

Can you see how FULL that little belly is? He just ate and ate.

Sept. 12th - Pig Roast

Friends of my parents have a huge Pig Roast every year.. This year we were asked to go too. This photo shows my mother with Connie, the hostess, in front of 1/2 the pig. On Aug. 31st Mom and Dad celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary.

Dad and Izzi discussing how much corn and soy Izzi planted and what new equipment he bought this year. Izzi and Connie's business is mindboggling.

Everyone gathered in these buildings - there must have been hundreds coming and going all day. The pig, baked pot, corn on the colb , and drinks were supplied by Izzi and Connie...Everything else was brought by EVERY person who came... The food was endless . and ..of course just down home delicious.

These two minnie goats just waddles on down the road and into the buildings making everyone take a second look and then laugh.

A Farmall tractor was what my Grandfather Huyett had and Dad told Keith....this is a series 1 and the one they had was a 4.... At any rate...ANY equipment is interesting to my Dad . This was the ONLY photo Dad would pose for. He really enjoyed this day.

Izzi's newest truck. Dad wanted a photo of it! Dad drove truck all his life beside being brought up on a farm....and working as a Mech. Draftsmen. He loved driving and finally gave it up when he was 72.
