Quotography: October

October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came -

The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,

And leaves of every name.

The Sunshine spread a carpet,

And everything was grand.

Miss Weather led the dancing,

Professor Wind the band.

This is just how I feel about Autumn! Colorful leaves, the sunshine, the cool crisp crunch of dry leaves on the ground... all spread out before me, feels just like a party!

I want to run and jump in the leaves, twirl around and look heavenward at the sunshine peeking in through the trees while the colorful leaves of Autumn dance wildly around me. To make it more fun, I'll invite the grandchildren!

Oh... 'tis Autumn!

Six Word Fridays: Drink Me!

Mad Hatter's Tea Party -- Thanksgiving Point

She drank from a bottle called

    Drink Me! And up she grew 

        so tall. She ate from a 

   plate that said Eat Me! and

down she shrank so small. And

so she changed, while other folks

never tried nothing' at all! --Alice









My girls and I have a Mother's Day Tea every year for Mother's Day. Sometimes we do something out of the ordinary and invite all the guys. A couple of years ago we went to Thanksgiving Point Gardens in Lehi and had a Mad Hatter's Tea Party! Homemade hats, special potions, colorful eateries, a walk through the tulip gardens, and a touch of madness fun was on our Alice In Wonderland menu.

Throw back... Show and Tell

It was 1963. I was five years old. Mom had just had her last baby. A baby boy. Our family was now complete, with four girls and two boys. And a mom and a dad!

Even though I was only five, I remember the anticipation and excitement of a new baby coming to our family. I was in Kindergarten and for my show and tell I wanted to show the class my new baby brother. Arrangements were made for the class to walk to my house and see our new baby.

On an early Spring day, a few few weeks after my baby brother was born, my teacher had the school class line up single file and follow her down the sidewalk a couple of blocks to my house. I'm sure I was at the head of the line. After all it was my show and tell! After arriving at the house, my classmates and I all gathered outside the large living room window and watched as mom lifted my baby brother up high for all to see! 

I can't remember how my classmates reacted, but I do know how proud I felt. Mom and I had just delivered the best show and tell of the year! Well... besides me showing my tonsils in a bottle!
