FROM BURGERS TO SUNSETS

 

we started with a “new to us” restaurant & tried one of their burgers, it took a few bites to get to the meat lol! he laughed  at me asking for Ranch for my fries humm no funnier than eating an egg on a hamburger  right? me thinks he suffers from too much Food Network lol!

 

there was a lot of activity on the river people canoeing , boats, fish jumping,bumble bees buzzing,  it was a beautiful day with the sun glistering through the trees

if there’s something picture worthy I’ll try to get a picture even if I have to walk down a boat ramp & across the rocks lol!

 

as the sun began to set we headed home, it was a beautiful day indeed!never be too busy to enjoy your life, there are memories waiting for you just around the bend!

JUST THINKING BOUT MY BLOGS

Yea I’m back on line, my internet explore was giving me fits, good ole you tube came to the rescue with a tutorial how to correct it, I’m just 25 days away from my two day Christmas show, whew! Friday is the hardest as it is a long & I mean long day starting at 9 am & ending at 9 pm & it is non stop!

since I’m down to one show a year & once in a blue moon maybe two my  poor little NANNAS RAGGEDYS N PRIMS  blog  often goes unnoticed, I sometimes  often wonder if I should just let it die gracefully I think half of my followers have abandoned me & I can’t really blame them as there’s nothing exciting happening over there since I’m down to one  to two shows a year, I often think prims & doll making are the only interest they have when they visit which is fine, my other three blogs are always hopping but that one seems to always be at a stand still , does your blogs make you have crazy thoughts? lol!

there’s lost to do in the next 25 days, I’m hoping my son-n-law will cut me out some block snowmen this year

I desperately want a new look for my table this year, I usually put two tables together black cloth with a few high lows but this year my daughter wants to do this show with me so the tables will be separated , 25 days to get ready & figure out how to make my table pop! mercy!

I usually make two of Annie & her Snowman, she is one of my best sellers every year, I actually had customers  fuss over the last one last year lol so there will be at least three of her this year

JOJO is a hoot to make  with all those fingers & toes but so loveable when she’s born I’ve never made JOJO for a show , only for orders but this year I’m hoping she will  make the show , mercy how did I do that hair?  25 days to figure it out right? LoL!

well it’s good to be back to blogging & there’s a lot of catching up to do, we’ve been to a fair, celebrated Birthdays, Zoo trips , sewing, canning, & so much more!

WELL I’M SEWING LOL!

 I had in mind of finishing up a retro dress I’ve been working on for  awhile but it just wasn’t working in my favor to get finished in time to go see my niece perform in School House Rock at the children's Theater

so I looked a round & saw a pair of pants I’d started  & decided to finish those up, then  when it’s time to head out the door I realize my blouse isn’t the color I thought it was uggggh! so I had to dig up an old blouse  that I don’t wear, iron it & just go ! lol! note to self ** when buying fabric for pants make sure I have a matching blouse or buy matching fabric to make one

and what a better ending than ice-cream at the I-Hop!

SUNDAY SELECTIONS

have you noticed how many songs in the song books go unsung? This could be simply just because we’ve never heard them or perhaps do not know the melody, I often like to go through & find ones that even though we may not know how they go, they still have a good message behind them

TOO LATE TO PRAY

If the spirit is knocking at the door of your heart,
Do not turn His plea away;
If you heed not His wooing's,
He'll forever depart.
Then 'twill be too late to pray.
When on death's bed you're lying,
Still astray the fold,
It an awful day;
There will be no repenting at the portals of gold,
It will be too late to pray.
As you stand at the judgment,
There before the white throne,
On that great and final day;
When the life book is opened and
your deeds have been made known,
It will be too late to pray.
It will be too late to pray,
On that great and awful day,
If you're lost my friend,
When you face the end,
It will be too late to pray.
