You may be wondering about my post a couple posts ago, when I said Emma was a black cat for Halloween. But the picture is of Emma as a Hula girl. Well, At the time of our little neighborhood party the day before I had not gotten her costume done yet. So Emma being the girl that she is said she would deal with it. What a girl.

I wanted to can some pinto beans tonight, so I soaked them last night and boiled them and bottled them today. Then It came time to process them. I went to look for my pressure cooker and couldn't find it anywhere. In prefect Rhonda style, I forgot that I lent it out. So now I have to wait to process them until tomorrow. I can really be absent minded most of the time. Well, at least I have everything done and I can finish them tomorrow.

On another note we have snow in the Mountains, and quite a bit of it. I hope to get some pictures of my beautiful view that I get to see every morning. That is if I remember. I will post them as soon as possible. I love the look snow gives to the mountains. I'm just not so crazy about when it gets down to my house and I have to drive and walk in it. Such is life. When it comes I guess I will have to "deal" with it just like Emma. I guess you know by now, Emma has to "deal" quite a bit, that is if you ask her anyway.

Aghh!!! Obama won. Heaven help our country. Pray that he will do right by this country. I hope he prays, but I don't know if he even believes in God. Actually that part scares me to death. I hope everyone remembers, this country was founded as "One Nation Under God."

Craft fair bust!


I have been working hard for about a month trying to make things for this craft fair we had on Saturday. Well I made a total of -$10.00. Some would ask how is it possible to do that. With the cost of the both fee, it was really easy. And if you add in the money I spent, I was in deeper than that. On a more possitive note. The kids had a great Halloween. Emma was a black cat and Katherine was a Vampire. Emma kept a count down until Halloween day, and was very nerveous that I wouldn't get her costume finished in time. I couldn't let her down, so I ended up staying up till midnight, but I got it done. I really tried to find a cat tail and ears to buy, but no such luck. I got creative and made a tail out of a sock and stuffed it with polyfil. I got felt and cut them into the shape of ears and stitched them onto a head band. I guess all that matters is that a 6 year old got to dress up in what she wanted for Halloween.
