ROASTING MARSHMALLOWS
You know, when the weather cools off, there's nothing like building a fire in your backyard (or using the grill) and roasting marshmallows! Yum, yum!

OH, NO! SLINGSHOTS!
My mother and father-in-law went on their annual trip to Mount Airy, NC a couple of weeks ago. If you remember the last time they went, they brought my two boys back some chocolate rocks:
Very cute, very tasty, very SAFE. Hmmmmm.........
Well, this time, they brought back these:
Yes, slingshots!
Very cute, very "boy", but, safe? Now, I have to tell you, I really do think that these are kind of cool. I mean, come on! How many kids have slingshots that look like these? But the rules were laid down VERY quickly for Nathan and Samuel. They are absolutely NOT to go out and use these without adult supervision and they are definitely not allowed to aim them at any animal or person. Pssst! Guess what? I even shot them a couple of times. It was pretty fun! You might want to try it sometime. :-)
Have a wonderful and blessed day!

NATHAN'S FIRST BUCK!
Well, Nathan was one excited boy Saturday! He shot his first buck. It was what we call a "cow horn", which is a deer whose antlers are just spikes. One shot brought it down on the spot. His daddy and I are proud of him. Samuel's reaction to the news was, "Oh, boy! More meat for the freezer!"
We have found many ways to cook deer meat. My husband likes to make jerky, hamburger and cube steak. He really IS a very good cook and I am SO very blessed! :-)!

CHOCOLATE CHERRY MICE
This past Sunday was our annual Homecoming at our church. I tried something new in the dessert line. It's called "Chocolate cherry mice". They were the CUTEST things.
At first, I had my doubts about how they would turn out, but when I put the first mouse together, he was, well, cute! I went around to everyone in the house showing them my mouse. I was pretty excited about it.
Samuel was my helper. He helped to unwrap all of the Hershey's Kisses (a few missed the plate and made it to his mouth!). Then he got bored and ran off to play.
I have to tell you, they were very easy and fun to make. The children at church loved them. They even had the adults playing with their food!
I will post the recipe later. But if you want it now, just Google "chocolate cherry mice". There are a lot of websites out there with the recipe, and all are basically the same.
If you make them, let me know how they turned out. Pictures would be great! :-)!

All arranged on my favorite glass plate.
They were excited about going to church, until they found out why.
This is "Mr. Angry Eyes". I made him for my brother.

BIRTHDAYS, COMPUTERS AND BRAKES
Well, Hello, everyone! It's been a while since I have posted. Things have been a little crazy (Hurray for family life! :-)!)
Samuel had a birthday on September 22. He turned six years old. Happy birthday to my youngest son! We love him so much. He was our "surprise" baby, but he was the best "surprise" that God could ever give me!
My main computer died when the current came back on after Hurricane Irene, probably due to the surge from being off so long. Yes, I had a surge protector on it (that was my brother's first question). The problem is that it was a cheaper surge protector. Guess you get what you pay for in some things. :-( ! So, anyway, I had gone back to using my laptop, which was super slow. I have not really been able to do much computer wise. I praise the Lord, though, because my youngest brother is now looking at my main computer (I have been blessed with "computer smart" brothers!). Hopefully I will have it back up and running very soon. He also has helped me clean up my laptop, so that is running alot better now.
Well, Friday night, my brake light came on in our van. When the brake fluid was checked, it was low. So, my husband put more fluid in. When I got back in the van Sunday morning, the brake light was still on. "Oh, no!", I thought. I left the van with my husband today, and drove our trusty back up car, the 1996 Thunderbird. Whoo-Hoo! First of all, I have to say that I am VERY thankful that we still have this car. It is very old and full of miles, but it still gets us where we need to go in a pinch. But... If anyone knows what its like to go from a mini-van to a two door car when you have children, you know where I am coming from when I say, "Whoo-Hoo!".
I got a call from my husband a little bit ago, and he told me that it is the master cylinder. Then, he just calls me a few minutes ago and tells me that there is antifreeze in the carport where the van sits. So, there is something else for the mechanic to look at. But, God is good! Perhaps there are a few problems that need to be taken care of right now while the van is in the garage. We'll see!
Please keep us in your prayers as we have revival at church this week, as well!
Have a wonderful and blessed day!
