Fall Has Arrived!

Fall has arrived here in the U.P. and it hasn't been too bad.....YET. This morning I woke to a thunder and lightning storm. Love to watch the lightning and hear the thunder but the poor dog quivers at the sounds! It was so warm too! If it wasn't raining I would have enjoyed the light show on the deck.
I'm going to try and get to the pumpkin farm this weekend with my grandson so he can pick out his own pumpkin. Hopefully the weather will hold out for a bit longer so we are not searching in cold and rainy weather. We'll wait until it's closer to Halloween before we carve it.
The hubby and I took a ride on the Ranger on Sunday out to the Keweenaw. It was a beautiful day....not too cold. We hit some trails that we haven't been on together and got to see some spectacular views. Saw tons of birds...not the kind that are in season now. We only saw three partridges in the four hours we were out on the trails.
Not much else has been happening. I have been making all of Terra's volleyball games. The JV team is doing very well. She has a game tonight against L.L.
Enjoy the fall before winter comes. I think we are going to really get piled on this year.

Card Class

This is the card I made at card class last night. It's the reflection technique and it was pretty easy to make and looks good too. I will be using this technique.
I took some time off from going to this group and really missed it. I was lucky to get back in when one of the ladies left the group because of moving. Lucky me! There are some really talented ladies in this group!
I am looking forward to making a lot of nice cards and paper crafts. Who knows.....maybe one of you will be lucky enough to receive one from me.

Busy Days

So.......sorry for being MIA. I have been so very busy with just.....life and enjoying it! Some days are better than others but all in all it's been good.
My oldest son had some health issues so I tried to keep in touch with him and his fiance' to keep track of what was going on. Poor kid had his gallbladder removed and was still having troubles. Long story short--Come to find out when they transferred him to a different hospital off base, they did a certain procedure and found out two ducts were damaged and had to be repaired. Now he is getting better and stronger. Thank goodness!
We camped, played on the Ranger, took rides and got our daughter ready for her Sophomore year of high school. We planned a trip to Wausau but that never happened because our daughter was always busy with volleyball and you can not miss any practices so........to the internet we went! She won't have to go to school naked! LOL! She does a great job picking out her clothes. I just wish she would pick some dressier things, but oh well...at least she picks clothes that I approve of.
I have a figure skating meeting tonight so my projects at home will have to wait for another time. The weekend is coming up so I can take care of those later.
Tomorrow she has a volleyball game in Chassell. All three teams will be there. Freshmen start at 5, then JV, then Varsity. It should be fun to watch. I will take the camera to try and get some pictures.
Fall has arrived here and it's not too bad. I do like the cooler weather over the hot. Sleeping comes so much easier when it's cooler.
