I sCrEaM YoU ScReAm...

We all SCREAM for ICE CREAM!!!

The other night around 10:00 p.m. Devin and I got a wild hair to make some homemade ice cream.

As most of you know...Devin LOVES ice cream....I guess I should say he loves anything that has SUGAR!!! He could hardly wait to taste it....he was going in for a dip before it was even out of the maker.

We added some Oreos to spruce it up... YUM YUM!!! It was DELISH! (Needless to say this late night snack was well worth it.)

TOMATOES, TOMATOES, and MORE TOMATOES.

It is that time of year to do the fun thing known as CANNING!

I went to my moms this last weekend and did 2 bushel of tomatoes.
The finished product... 42 quarts of tomatoes. Thanks mom for having the perfect set up for canning. It's always so fun to can with my mom and sisters. We had a great time!

I came home from canning and to my surprise found these darling fall leaf plates on my counter with a cute note from my sweet husband.

Devin and I were shopping the other day and I mentioned these would look cute on my plate rack. He then took it upon himself to get them and surprise me. He is such a great husband... Thanks honey for being so wonderful!

A Day That Will Never Be Forgotten

Its been 7 years since America was changed by the tragic day of September 11th.

My heart goes out to all of those who fought for others lives, and who are still fighting this day. Also, to those who are still mourning because of the loss of loved ones.

May we all remember this day and be thankful for our FREEDOM.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

One mans JUNK is another mans TREASURE!!!

We decided to have one more yard sale before the season was over. Between my family and friends, we had 10 people that brought stuff to sell... TRICKY TO KEEP EVERYTHING ORGANIZED??? and ACCOUNTED FOR??? Once all the money was tallied out, everything was accounted for to the penny!

WE HAD A GREAT TIME!!!

PeAcH DaYs

Devin and I enjoyed going to PEACH DAYS after our yard sale that morning!

We had fun WALKING through the CARNIVAL. As most of you know I DON'T do RIDES. I had to take a picture of the ORBIT even though I wanted to throw up looking at it. I rode a similar ride at a fair a few years back... they had to stop the ride for me. It was either STOP the ride or there would be stuff dropping from the sky that wasn't what most people would expect. Needless to say, I AVOID the RIDES!!!

The best part of the night was... THE EXHIBITS. I decided to splurge a little (thanks to our YARD SALE) and get some new decors for FALL and CHRISTMAS! Way FUN!!!

P.S. Did I mention YARD SALES are GREAT!

"OUT with the OLD and IN with the NEW"
(Devin was good to be my shopping cart as I bought all my stuff...Thanks Honey!)
