Family Gathering...So the Fun Begins...

Nothing like a FAMILY GATHERING...

and a WOOD STOVE...that was put in JUST IN TIME!

smile

Too long of story...regarding the wood stove...but, the bottom line...

we fired it up yesterday...while it was "4" degrees outside!

TRUST ME...we are going to be WARM and TOASTY!

Only problem...Garvin set all the "smoke detectors" off...

both UPSTAIRS - MAIN FLOOR - and DOWNSTAIRS!

Garvin and friends (Millers)...who made this moment

possible...all the wood that was cut and gathered!

Some Closing Scenes of Autumn...

Autumn is my FAVORITE season...

Perhaps, it is because...I am in the FALL season of my life...

SUMMER use to be my FAVORITE...as a kid and teen...

SPRING use to be my FAVORITE...when I was raising my family...

However, I am truly IN LOVE with FALL...

October is DEFINITELY my FAVORITE COLOR...smile

One afternoon, Garvin wanted to go for a "drive"...which means...

I NEED to bring my CAMERA! smile

I took these one day in OCTOBER last month...

As you can see...nature is slowly ending

this beautiful Autumn season...

These pictures were taken not too far from where we live...

 

How To Save A Marriage...

According to our daughter, Sarah, one must

learn how to cut your future spouse's hair...

BEFORE you get married...So, if you make any mistakes

while you are learning, he is apt to be more 

patient and NICE about it...than AFTER one is married...

(is this from experience?)

Perhaps...this is WISE COUNSEL...

Smile

HENCE...the HAIRCUT LESSON...

Jessica cut Hyrum's hair for the FIRST TIME!

Sarah coached her all the way through it...

For some reason, I forgot to get the

FINAL PICTURE when it was done...

Hmmm...was that on purpose?

I can't remember...

since these pictures

were taken 

20 September 2014...

 smile

There was NO TURNING BACK!

smile

It's OFFICIAL! smile

It is "official"...

 

Here Comes the Bride...Well, Almost....

Saturday, November 1st, Sarah and I

attended Jessica's 

Bridal Shower...

"Food Storage and Household Items"

 

You can judge by the pictures...

whether we had fun or not...

smile

 First gift to open...was from Jessica's Mom...

 Cookbook!

 Sarah found something interesting in the cookbook...

 A set of "tools"...wonder who is going to use them the most?

smile

 Peanut Butter

Fun foods...

 I think there was a comment on HOW Jessica

was going to use that cooking pan...

for food or on Hyrum...smile

 A pad of paper...for Jessica to make her

"Honey Do" lists...
