Long Time, No blog at all!!!!

I have been behind in my blogging- I'm thinking mainly because I can keep up with everyone on Facebook- but never mind that, this is where I do all my journaling for my scrapbooks, so I MUST keep up on here from time to time. This will be a long post- so enjoy!!!

Friday, October 15th 2010 Silver Dollar City

Craft Fest in full bloom- this lady was spinning Roving- I could SOOO get into this- for all you non- yarn people, she's basically making yarn before your eyes!

Ponca, Arkansas- our stop on the way home.


The Elk

I LOVE seeing them.

Luke and I made a quick trip to Silver Dollar City. I really wanted to see their Fall Craft Festival going on. We drove up Friday morning and came home late Friday night. There were knitting looms and weaving all over the park- I ate that up. The craft booths were really amazing- everything from knitting to woodworking to painting. We couldn't leave the park without some kettle corn to munch on the way home. After leaving SDC, we headed to the Pizza By The Chef in Hollister, MO. We LOVE to eat there, the food is wonderful. After making happy plates, we headed to Ponca, AR to see the Elk. We were driving fast to get there before sunset- and we did. I just love watching them. We're hoping to go back up this winter sometime to see them...maybe spend a weekend- it would be worth it for sure!

10.19.10 Nick's 30th Surprise Party

I told Joe to make me look skinny- so what did Luke do- stuck his head into the camera to achieve that look- it worked, but he looks retarded! ha.

We surprised Nick with a little party at Buffalo Wild Wings. Luke and I had never been there before, and it was GOOD! Nick, Joe, Timmons, her friend, Luke, and me were all in attendance. It was a good time. Happy 30th birthday Nick!

Paul Michaels- need I say anymore!!!

Our purchases

We are ready to go- Adelle, Pam, Michelle, Sharon, Katherine, Mom, and Diane

Our Bible Study ladies piled in 2 cars and made the drive to Paul Michaels in Lake Village. We had a great time. Paul Michael's had their Christmas out- it was everywhere. After shopping a while we ate at the restaurant across the street. We stopped at Baskin Robbin's for ice cream on the way home. What a fun day!

Arkansas State Fair

It was a beautiful sunset last night.

Nick sporting my cookbook, and our end of the night snack...a fair staple...the funnel cake!

Last night Luke and I went with Nick to the State Fair. It was dollar night- so we spent 1 dollar to get in and a dollar to park. We ate our usual fried fair food- Gator Taters, Corn Dogs, Dippin' Dots, and ended the night with a funnel cake. We did our usual Hall of Industry tour, Arts and Crafts, and a few animals- meaning we didn't see very many. It was fun and I'm sure we'll do it again next year!

Hot Springs Craft Show

Mom and I have gone to this craft show for years- well actually 29 probably. Aunt Debbi and Grandma used to go with us, then it was just Mom and Me. Well this year, we invited our Bible Study ladies to come, it was so much fun! We ate lunch at a restaurant called 1217 in Hot Springs- it was SO delicious. We ended our day with a trip to Hobby Lobby. There was lots of laughter and some good eating. What a fun day!
