One of my Favorite Singers

Robert Goulet is one of my favorite singers, and to tell you how my kids remember things,
Eric, my long distances truck driver, was talking to his friend on his cell phone while in
Washington State. He was listening to the radio and an announcement came on saying Robert
Goulet had died....... He told his friend "I have to hang up and call my Mom". He did, and I
said "no way, I love him".

Heidi was talking about it and remembered going into K Mart and her and Eric singing,
out loud of course, Lonely is a Man Without Love. A lady came up to them and ask "how do you know that song at your age?" Eric said to her, "My Mom sews". That said it all to them but not to her. Needless to say, they always heard all my old crooners while I was sewing or anything else I did around the house.

Happy Halloween

A couple years ago, I was lucky enough to take a bus trip and spend an evening and part of a day in Salem, Mass. We were there for the big parade, and I do mean big. They actually have
a "head"witch there. She owns her own shop. Now they doooo believe in witches. I wish I would have had more time there.

Ok, my husband has a real sense of humor. He said one day, "If the Amish kids go trick or

treating, do they dress up as Englishers?"

Last year for Christmas, I made 6 calendars for my family. Kristy was selling the calendars with her Close to my Heart things. I did birthdays of each person in the correct month, and almost had someone in every month. There were none in October, so I put Fawn, my daughter, and

her grandchildren, my greatgrandchildren on that month. I have to figure out a way to now use it for next year. It becomes a birthday calendar also.
Zoe was a little Tinkerbell here, and now this year at a big age five, she is a new Tinkerbell in a new dress for her kindergarten class. The three kindergarden classes are marching in the school today and she is one excited little girl. Wish I could be there to see her.

The General Store

This is my General Store made for me by my husband, George. I painted it and did the inside.
He is going to make a second floor (I hope), which will be the bakery. I have the bakery items
and will feature them on my last dollhouse entry coming up.

The building is long, so I took the pictures inside in half so you can better see the items for sale.
The two men are playing checkers and there is a pickle barrel near by. The might want a snack.

The owners desk is in this picture and it also serves as a postoffice. I hope you enjoy browsing through the General Store.

About Angela

her to post her interesting facts on mine. I know she is working on it, so
I want it not to get lost in old comments. This entry is for you Angela.
I am looking forward to your entry.

Mad at Joann Fabrics

I got mad Joann Fabrics because I ordered the yarn for the last sweater I made (Bill's)
from Joann.com and tried to exchange two skeins I didn't need for another color. I was
going to buy 7 more skeins, but they would not do it.
I took the yarn home and started this sweater for myself. I need a contrasting color, so
I went to Pat Catans, a local craft store and they had the Patons Merino Wool on sale.
I bought two skeins of brown, and this is the finished product. I also bought nine more
skeins of grey there. The yolk is seed stitch.

Beautiful Ohio

We went riding last weekend just hunting for places to take pictures of the leaves turning.

We went into my favorite area and found only a few places that really showed them well.

They are not nearly as nice as most Octobers. This is a farm in Amish Country.

While we were out, I wanted to get apples. We went to an apple orchard called Sunny Slopes.

I didn't buy any pumpkins, but thought they were neat.

Here are just some of the varities of apples available. This is only half the table, the other

half had customers. They sell them for only forty five cents a pound. The Golden Delicious

are really good.
