Church Picnic

This past Saturday was our annual Church Picnic. It was held at Province Park in Franklin. It was raining a little in the morning, but cleared up quickly. It was really a nice day for a picnic. We had a very good turn out. There were even some new people, and a couple of them came to church on Sunday, thank the Lord. Everyone had a good time. There was plenty of food, fun and fellowship. Pastor Forsee had a corn hole competition complete with a trophy for the winning team.

Carl and I were in charge of the games for the kids. The kids had a blast. There were a few bumps in the road with some wanting to do their own thing, and Carl getting some major rope burn on his hands from the tug of war game. (His hands are healing nicely.) But all in all, it was a good day. The kids loved the creek that was beside the shelter house. They loved trying to catch crawdads and even caught a tiny turtle.

I took some pictures while trying to keep order, but it wasn't working out. So I handed my camera over to my aunt Pat, who definitely had some fun with taking pictures. I think it gave her camera envy, though.

I am including the public link to my Facebook album of pictures from the day. Here is the link:

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.
