The whole show was awesome but so were some of the others. We were one of the top 10 bands in the state Nothing to sneeze at. Like Caedee said tonight there were 240 other bands who would have traded places with Sherman in a second. I have 4 rolls of film. Poor Chris he is going to be so sorry that my 35mm is up and running
Started the fireplace going tonight. Didn't want to turn on the heat if we can help it. It is suppose to be in the 80's for the Battle of the Ax. 40 one day 80 the next.
Found a recipe for preserving leaves on DIY Scrapbooking. If it good enough for Anna Griffin it is Great for me.
"To preserve a few leaves:
Mix one part of glycerin to two parts of water (about 8 oz. of glycerin with 16 oz. of water). Layer the leaves in a flat container and pour the glycerin mixture over them. Cover them tightly and allow them to sit out of the sunlight for a couple of weeks. Check on them every few days to make sure the leaves are all covered in the solution and that the solution is still well mixed. Once all the leaves have absorbed the glycerin, remove the leaves from the branches and allow them to dry out on paper towels or newspaper. Any excess glycerin will "sweat" out of the leaves. Allow to dry for about one week."
I am going to try this with Chris's Maple Tree at least a few of the leaves for him. Sounds like fun.
I have to work on trying to get the fall menu planned and start working on the table decorations. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. Rae is suppose to come home with some friends. I hope to have things ready for them by then.
Well I have got supper for tomorrow started. I need to get the laundry moved from the washer to the dry and then start another load.
Sleep well all and stay warm

Hey momma! It was good to talk to you today, sorry you were tired.. I may have to try the leaf preserving too!
I'm not sure that any of my usuals are going to be coming for Thanksgiving this year, Jenn may be going to her grandparents and Dar I think is going with one of his roommates.
Love you!
Thanks Baby girl!!! I love you more.
Hi there...what if you talk to all the "girls" Sunday and see if they'd like to get together some Tuesday or Thursday for a bite to eat and some great fellowship?? Just just give me a couple of nights to pick from. We may need to wait till after New Years if the gals have full calendars.
congrats to sherman for making it to state!! whoohoo! how did they place?
man, battle of the axe already? where has the school year gone?
hope to see you this weekend!
*smooches*
Isn't band the greatest? "Just add water, instant friends." And, it builds character! A choir teacher commented once when setting up for a program, "I can tell who the band kids are just by watching them work." All of our kids were in a sweepstakes band - -isn't it a blessing to have a program like that??!! We have been so grateful. Karen and Neal marched in the Independence Day parade in DC, and we're hoping that Faith will get to also when she is in high school. (Springdale now has two h.s., and she will attend the new one.) Band has been a deliberate part of our strategy in raising our kids with the right goals, and even in strentghening their Christian world view. Warmest congratulations on your band!
(Wedding was yesterday - was absolutely beautiful - will post more later.)
