Memorial weekend was so nice. Overall, the weather was great and family time was even greater!

We had a picnic at dad's and just about everyone was there (we really missed you Crystal and family!)

Too much food, as always, but sooooo good! Christine made this awesome cake, well it was the topping that made it so awesome.

Peaches with the peach juice mixed with instant vanilla pudding mix and then blended into cool whip ~ Mmmmm. Nice and summery and refreshing!!

Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters.

What an awesome, tremendous, do-it-again weekend I had with my sisters!! I have never felt so blessed as I was this past weekend spending time with my best friends ~ my sisters. Thank you girls. This is what memories are made of!
If anyone has family they love and adore...I suggest just these kinds of happenings with them! You will NEVER regret a moment you spend with them ~ laughing, loving, sharing, cooking, secrets and memories! Take a moment today, and set a time, a date, to do this with YOUR family. You won't be sorry.

When I look into my heart I see reflections of you

Well, this is it, the day is here!
Two of my sisters arrive today
Tomorrow the third sister comes!!
Yee-haw!!!

Weather beee-u-teee-full!

HEY! My sisters are coming! My sisters are coming! It's "sisters weekend"! Yay!!
We laugh, drink a little, talk, laugh some more,
Talk, of course, drink some more, share a few tears along the way
Watch movies, listen to music, maybe even shake our groove thing!!!!

CHERISHED MEMORIES
Cherished memories
Is what we have together
I'll always hold them dear
In my heart forever.

We did so much together
Just you and I
The love you gave me
Had a never ending supply.

I remember so clearly
These memories are in my heart
And I'll always hold them dear.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

My mother would be 76 years old today. She passed away two years ago. I miss her so much~ her smile, her touch. No one will ever be able to replace her. She had a spirit that could not be broken or crushed. Even death could not defeat her, for I know she is in heaven, surrounded by angels and sitting at the feet of Jesus.
I love you Mom~I always have~I always will.

Oh my, oh my! Where does the time go? I can't believe it's November already! Before we all know it, we'll be shopping and then celebrating Christmas!

I have two sisters whose creative juices are just flowing abundantly!
My baby sister just had her jewelry line accepted into a local shop for sale and my next youngest sister's knitting ability is growing by leaps and bounds!!

If time permits for anyone, I would strongly urge you to stop by and check out my sisters sites... Etsy :: C.Gail Designs & crystaleverchanging.blogspot.com... you won't be disappointed!!

JR still has had no luck in finding another job, but he's still looking! How's the market up there in Emmaus?? Maybe we will move closer yet! And if things couldn't be bleaker, his car is not being dependable. Every time he goes to use it, it won't start. Probably the battery. And THEN! Along comes some good news...JR's dad calls and says he has a truck for him that he picked up at a sale. It's ours! All we have to do is drive toJuniata county and pick it up!! Woo-Hoo!

Maybe the next time I write I'll have some new hobby that I'm working on and I won't be so green with envy!!!

As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set aside a few minutes each day. At the end of the year, you’ll have a couple of days saved up.
