Pics From the Harvest Party

I wanted to get these up yesterday, but it took a while to get them on the computer so you get them today.

Our church had a Harvest Party for the kids during our Wednesday night service and these are the costumes our kids came up with.  We do not go out and buy expensive costumes and instead hope our kids can use their imaginations and what we already have to come up with something.  I think they did a good job.

 Kaitlyn went as Taylor Swift.

She won the costume contest for our Youth group! 

 Micah was a Quarter Back.

He drew the quarter by himself.

 Jonathan was a Mad Scientist.

He won the costume contest for his age group!

 Christiana went as a participant to 

a Masquerade Ball.

(the dress she's wearing was my prom dress my Junior year in HS)

 Josiah was a Security System.

He actually had it wired and working.

 Kyle was a Dinosaur.

 Joshua was a Cowboy.

Matthew was Clark Kent.

Opportunity with Q & A Link

A week or so ago I mentioned an opportunity that could help you make money called Empower Network.  Well I just got a new link that I wanted to share with you that may help answer some of your questions and it also has videos and testimonies that you can check out that tell you more about it.  So check it out.  This is for REAL. You could have $ in your bank account before Christmas to do all the shopping you need to do. Wouldn't that be awesome!?!

Empower Network Q & A Link  You need to check this out.  I have seen tons of people making tons of $ doing this, and I'm building my business too.  My sponsor, Tony Rush, for the month of October, has made over $100,000.  This is for the month, not in total since he started! He started in November of last year and was able to do all his families Christmas shopping that year on Empower Network commissions. And now he's making  over $100,000 a month.
Come join my team and get all the information on how you can do this too.  You get step by step instructions on exactly what to do.

So what are you waiting for?  Check out that link and get started for only $25. You owe it to yourself to do this.

Winter Predictions

I was talking to my Dad yesterday on the phone and I asked him if he had heard anything about what this winter was suppose to be like this year.  He said no that he hadn't heard anything yet, but one of his friends told him that the persimmon seed this year is showing a spoon.  I asked Daddy if he put much faith in the seed and he told me no but we would just have to wait and see.

For those of you not familiar with the persimmon seed prediction, basically it works like this.  You take a persimmon seed and hold it between a pair of needle nose pliers and then slice the seed in half.  If the kernel is spoon-shaped it means lots of heavy wet snow; if the kernel is fork shaped it means  powdery light snow and a mild winter, if the kernel is knife shaped it means ice and bitter icy cutting winds. Here's an image I pulled off of Google to give you an example of a spoon shape in a seed.

The link I used was just one I came across on google images but I noticed she had a recipe for persimmon bread that some of you might want to try so I just copied the link for you as well.

Any of you checked out a wooly worm lately? I haven't seen any yet. What do you think this winter will be like and do you trust any folklore predictions?  I have noticed that there have been a LOT of acorn and hickory nuts on the ground this year...maybe nature is preparing for lots of snow...I hope so :)

I LOVE Fall

This is my favorite time of the year.  I LOVE fall! I love how beautiful the leaves are and the cooler temperatures.  I love the smell of leaves burning and the sight of people getting ready for the winter season by gathering wood for heating their homes.  I love seeing piles of leaves in people's yards that children have been jumping in and I love flannel and jeans and cozy sweaters. I just love it all.

Lately, my morning walks have become so beautiful.  I just had to share my view from this morning.

Unfortunately, the pictures don't the real sight justice. This is truly a beautiful view.

What's your favorite season? Or, do you enjoy each season as it comes and really don't have a favorite?

Just Curious

Just wondering, who has started Christmas shopping?  Do you shop throughout the year or are you a last minute shopper, or maybe somewhere in between and you wait until the fall weather to get you into the feel of Christmas?

We tend to be last minute shoppers and every year we tell ourselves that next year we will start earlier.

How about you?

Busy Day

Been a busy day today and haven't been around much to blog.  Started out this morning heading to the bank to take care of some business, then off to get gas for the van.  Got home in time to make breakfast then head out again to take Josiah to drum lessons.  During his drum lessons I head to Walmart for the hour because there's no need to head home just in time to turn around and head out again to pick him up.  Then back home in time to make lunch, serve lunch, then get the little kids down for nap and the older kids doing their chores (ok, I confess, I did take a little nap too). After nap I come to the computer to take care of some business and get the kids to do some school work that they didn't do this morning because I was gone. Now I'm getting ready to prepare supper just in time to head out on another errand for Kaitlyn. She has to have a mandatory bike check in order to ride her bike on an outing through Cades Cove with her AHG troop to earn her biking badge. Then back home again tonight to settle down a bit.

So that's a quick run through of my day.  Most days it's not like this and I don't just go,go,go.  But today has been one of those days.

Awesome Opportunity

Hi everyone, I have to tell you about this awesome opportunity I have come across. I have a friend I have known since high school and he is my sponsor.  He has made over $300,000 doing this in less than a year.  He's real and truly wants to see others make money, too.

If you are looking for a way to help your family become financially free then you owe it to yourself to check this out.  Trust me, it's not a scam or scheme.  It's real and regular people are making lots of money doing this.  It's not complicated.  You get step by step instructions on how to do everything necessary and put tons of money in your bank account too.

The great thing is that it only costs $25 to get started.

Wouldn't it be great to have a stress-free Christmas? You can. Yes, money can come to you that quickly.

For those of you who know me, you know I would not lead you astray.  This is real. Just check it out.
