Denim Dress

Good News!  Back in the early to mid 90's I had this denim jumper.  I enjoyed wearing it often, until it shrunk around the middle.  Just on a whim today I thought I would try it on.  I was able to wear it.  I will admit it is a bit snug.  I could tell because when I had to go to the bathroom it seemed to grab my underwear and I almost got a wedgie trying to get my dress up.  You laugh, but then when I pulled it back down I was lucky my underwear didn;t go down to my knees!  Never a dull moment.
When I last tried to post I couldn't get pictures to upload, but it worked today  November 2012.

Items at the auction.

Grandpa and Ms. Dixon. So cute!

These pictures were taken at the auction.  The quilt hanging on the wall is what I donated to the auction.

Merry Christmas!

Special order blanket.

 The picture didn't do the pink quilt much justice.  It is very cute.I really thought it turned out cute. 

Ken, Luca, Rusty, and I went out to the mall to take pictures.  Some where better than others..  There wer so many things to smell and see out at the mall. 

Rusty had had enough!

Thanksgiving

We have been busy.  We just finished 13 weeks of school.  20 of my 22 students know all of the uppercase and lowercase letters!  I am so excited about that.  I had the cutest little ducks that were dressed like scarecrows, turkeys, Indians, and pilgrims. 
Then we had a big Thanksgiving dinner at the Abel Reunion.  Ken cooked turkey, dressing, and gravy. There was so much food, no one could of left hungry.  We really had a good turn out this year.
With Thanksgiving over it means it is time to decorate for Christmas.  Ken got the wire  situation in the living room taken care of.  So we have started, but we have a lot to go.  I have a few pictures to include in this text, but I am having a difficult time getting them to upload.
I went to the doctor about a pain in the hip.  She decided it was a muscle spasm.  She gave me valium.  Good stuff!  I could sure sleep good.  I am working on getting a box off to Luca's family for Christmas.  Still have gifts to wrap a few ledt to buy, but all is going well!

I Have a Cool Flashlight

Yeah, it is Friday!  We went on a field trip today.  We went to a pumpkin patch.  The kids did great and everyone had a great day. After we got back I finished up getting things ready for the next week or two .  I am really excited about a few of the activities we are going to do. 
While Janet and I were together she downloaded a flashlight on my phone.  I have actually used it a couple of times.  I was filling the soap dispenser on the sink and it seemed like it was holding way to much soap.  I looked under the sink and couldn't see much around the disposal except the water lines coming out .  So I got my phone, turned on the flashlight, and got down and twisted around until I could finally see that the dispenser was connected.  Good news!  I found it before I passed out!  Woohoo!  It is really dark at 6:50 when I leave for school, so a couple of times I have used the flashlight to get me safely to the car.  Thank you Janet.
Life seems to be getting busier.  Luca has a swim meet tomorrow.  I have to have him at the school by 8:10ish.  We went to get snacks for tomorrow.  We went out to eat so he could carb up.  I will be going to watch him.
