Celebration

Had a great lunch with my daughter and a friend yesterday. My friend just became the owner of a car she has wanted for a long time. We laughed a lot and had a great time.

Cory's Birthday

Besides Roger's grandson, Cory, and my brother, Rick, and Stephanie, my Cory also had a birthday in October. 39 years old. Yikes! I regret that I was unable to do much for his birthday but he is having fun driving around in the little white sports car and playing golf. I plan to have them over for supper soon. Happy Birthday, Cory. (Above picture: I was helping Stephanie get ready for the wedding when I heard a call for help. He couldn't find his belt or his socks. Stephanie found him some of her father's socks and he borrowed a belt. Wonder if he returned those items?)

Jaime Haircut

Jaime made a dramatic change a few weeks ago. Here are some pictures. The top one is the best but I can't figure out how to make it bigger. Jaime has been cutting, chopping, coloring and bleaching her hair since she was quite young. Every version looks good. Makes even a mother a little jealous. Anyway, it always grows back. Hasn't fallen out yet.

Once when she was a teenager, she got a big bottle of bleach. When I turned down the offer for her to do my hair, she said, "Well, I'm going to bleach something!" Pretty soon every guy she knew had a big blonde streak in his hair. I will have to find a picture of one of them and post it.

Tooth Fairy

Jill requested to come home early from after school care. She was "sick" with a tooth that was literally hanging by a thread. She was fascinated with that tooth when it finally came out so she wrote a note to the tooth fairy. Above is a copy of the actual note with a comment from the actual tooth fairy. Maybe I should sell it on ebay. I'm sure it is valuable. Here is what the note said:

Dear, tooth fary colud you give me money But leve my tooth case I want to keep it. Thank You,

Sincerely,

Jill

P.S. how many teeth have you colected? (from every Kid)

And the tooth fairy wrote back in very swirly writing:

Dear Jill ~

I must take your tooth to give to children who don't have them. I have collected 807 million teeth!

Happy Wiggling!

Love,

Tooth Fairy

Fall Decor

My neighbor's door. I have a wreath but haven't found the wreath holder yet. (Jill is afraid of the scary door decoration.)

This is a post card from my mother's alma mater, Lees McRae University in Banner Elk, NC. Notice her name is spelled out in leaves. That is why I saved it and put it up on the fridge again this year.

Art work from Jill and Jonah. Jill made her turkey a couple of years ago. Jonah made his last year when Aaron was preparing to go to Kuwait. I asked Mia to draw a pumpkin for me.
