Recent Frolics

Here are some of the things we have done lately...

After my birthday at the beginning of October, we went to an IU football game...they lost...:( It was a fun experience though.



We went to our nephew's flag football game. It was pretty cute. :)


Carl and I took two of my Junior Church kids to Toys R Us and McDonald's one Saturday. It was a special prize for learning memory verses.

We went to my Grandma's annual bonfire and hayride. I always love going to that. It is one of my favorite things about Fall.

We went to a Booth Brothers concert in Bluffton, IN. We love the Booth Brothers.

We made a quick trip to Brown County State Park. This was the last Saturday in October, so a lot of the leaves were already off the trees. There were still some beautiful places down there though.


Life is busy...sometimes too busy. I have to constantly remind myself to take time for the important things in life, and not to worry about the small stuff. Easier said than done sometimes, I know. But God is helping me.

I thank God for His multiple blessings on us. We are so undeserving, but He sees fit to supply our needs and even our desires every now and then.

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.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
