A GRANDPA'S LOVE

There is no other reason except LOVE:

that Grandpa would let anyone comb his bald head.
Don't you love the hairdo Lily made.

Pomegranate Jelly 101

Find a pomegranate bush. Pick some pomegranates about 6-8. The hardest part is getting all the berry/seeds out of each pomegrante and juicing them. Fingers and hands will turn be purple.

I use Sure Jell to make the jelly.

I have some extra for Christmas presents..

Yummy .

I love it on toast with peanut butter.

FREEWAY LACE DAYS

I went to Freeway Lace Days, today. Freeway Lace is one of the lace Guilds that I belong too. I am also a member the Cross Scitchers. Every Wedensday afternoon we meet and make lace at the museum in Redlands. We are part of their living history display. (which Dennis thinks is funny)

It was a ball to be there with all these people that love one of things that I love to do most. I took a class in needle lace, not impressed. Bobbin lace and tatting are still my favorites. Lace makers come in all ages and sexes, but they are still very willing to help the beginners. Nicest people in the world according to me.

We had only one vender there to sell things. Boy, were they busy, the whole family to help wait on people. They didn't even check for our ID, what a joy to have people trust us.

I love to make butterflies so I took these to add to the lace display of the Cross scitchers.

Supplies that I bought. This is the best place to buy thread for the next year. You can never have too much thread like the quilters and their material.

I always get me a few more handpainted bobbins. It is funner to work with pretty bobbins. The cute little hats are magnets to hold pins.

THE WITCH IS IN

THE WITCH IS IN.....

and the witch made little Jake wear his Halloween costume. Doesn't he look all excited about wearing it.

He only had to wear it to help give out treats. There wasn't many trick and treaters, but that is normal because we don't have sidewalks or street lights. Just the local kids comes

.

Our ward Trunk and Treat was Friday night. We had the Snow kids because of Melissa and Dave's adult party. They had a ball and got to spend the night. No makeup with their costumes because Grandma doesn't do makeup. They were cute any way. Dennis and I are on the activity committee. So I had to make about 200 hundred mummie dogs to go with the chilli. I should of made 500 we ran out in the first 5 minutes. Remember for next year.

But at 3:50am Saturday day morning. Lily and Jake came to wake me up. Lily needed a Air Head piece of candy opened. Who knows how long they had been up. (Grandma sleeping through it all) roaming around the house. There was a trick or treat bag in Lily's bed and wrapers all over. Lily and Jake was sent back to bed, with no candy and Grandma tried to get a little more sleep. No wonder Lily was a bear all day long.

All in all we had a wonderful Halloween. Now on to Thanksgiving. No we need to vote first.

Doll Quilt II

I have just finished my second little doll quilt. I was going to make stars, but the pin wheels were easier. Maybe next time I will make stars.

Just right for a little doll or a runner on my table.

SIT SIT

Our little yorkie is learning challenged and hyper.
He is now 1 1/2 years old and he has just learned to SIT.

Tim and Aleca gave us a hint to teach him. Use a treat that he likes. Tim said he should do anything if he likes the treat. Jakey is a very picky eater. Most doggy treats he won't even eat. So why would he do a trick for something he didn't want. Dogs will do any thing if they really want the treat. (daw). So we started using smokie links. Sometimes he even wanted to lick it first to see if it was worth SITTING for. If it was something he wanted. He would sit fast and stay there for another treat. Picky little guy or a very smart little guy.
Now he will SIT, if there is a good treat for him.
He still needs to learn to SIT without a treat, but he is learning.
Next we are going to try a teach him STAY.

He may be learning challenged and hyper, but he is sweet all the time.

A new Couch at the Taylors'

This is our old couch. We thought it would last longer than it did. After all, it was leather and it was only about 6 years old and was hardy used while we were in Chile. The leather was just falling apart.

DO YOU THINK WE NEEDED A NEW ONE? A BIRDS EYE VIEW OF THE BIGGEST HOLE. The light brown are patches to try to stop the holes from enlarging. They didn't work.

The new couch came this week. What do you think of it.

Dad is enjoying it while he watches TV.

Now I need a cute colorful chair to go with it.
