Blast from the Past Photo of the Day

Happy Birthday Tyler! 29 years old today!

Lee's Holiday Food Show Nov. 2008

Dad hauled our 2 life size Nutcrackers to help decorate the store. First I went around without a cart to sample everything. I was just "here for the food". I actually went for lunch---very good!---then I got a cart and did my shopping. All in all it's not a good day to get groceries. You've never seen a store so crowded. But hey, I had to support the event :)

The deli served soup in a little bun, so dad was busy keeping up with the little bread bowls.

This is Dad bagging/baking french bread which was on sale that day and going fast. He worked all the night before to keep ahead of the sales.

"Extras" were hired for the 4 hours of the food show. Joyce did a great job with the breads and jam and honey butter :)

The chandelier is from props from the theater. It added a festive touch to the displays :)

Painted

Work on Tyler's house continues----this is what dad looked like after painting the prime coat on the garage, laundry room and bonus room last week.

Birthday November 3rd

We went out to dinner for my birthday, but of course I forgot to take the camera. So, I had dad take this picture after we got home-----I guess that's as good as it gets :)

Dad surprised me by going shopping for my birthday without me knowing it. He gave me this skirt, top, and sweater. I don't have anything in those colors so it was fun "fashion showing".

After dinner we went to the mall and found this jacket and shell to make another outfit. I was most excited that the jacket fit without any "fixing" :) Also, the top shrunk so I don't have to fix it either!

Halloween

I took this picture of dad at the bakery, after he'd been up all night. He's just getting ready to dye this dough orange for pumpkin bread bowls.

Josh wanted his hair pink like grandpa's.

May-Bell, the substitute school secretary, stopped by Halloween evening. What you can't really see is her great halloween socks and her new shoes with the strings still attached :)
