Busy Night part 1

What a busy night! First there was the pre prom picture party held by the parents of one of the boy's classmates. The house and grounds were a beautiful setting for all the gorgeous dresses and handsome tuxedos.

baby deer

Walking with my friend last week, we happened upon this baby standing next to the road. He was about the size of Gilbert. Quite newly born I believe. Tried to shoo it away from the road a bit, but he didn't move. When we came past the area on our way back, he was gone. Assuming his mother came and took him to safety.

Mushroom hunt

The boy and went mushroom hunting and all we found was this jawbone. Not quite what we were hoping for!

Paella

Went to a Spanish cooking lesson. Learned how to make Paella and some tapas. Later at home I made some vegetarian paella (I did put in some fish and shrimp). The family seemed to like it.

Revolutionary War Encampment

I haven't posted for awhile. Not because I haven't been doing anything, maybe because I've been doing too much. Anyway, here are some pics of a revolutionary war encampment we went to a couple of weekends ago.

Civil War Reenactment in Clinton

The boy and I went to the Mill in Clinton today, where they were having a civil war encampment or something. We saw all sorts of things and talked to loads of re-enactors about cooking and sewing and doctoring and shooting and singing. We both got to shoot a pistol and we both made a candle. The boy got to use the quill and ink in the old school house. It was a nice day out!

He's How Old????

Our little boy turned 18 on Tuesday!! How did that happen? Could it really have been that long ago that he came into our family on a Sunday morning at 11:30 am? His big sis skyped in and we had his favorite dinner, a home made ice cream cake and opened his presents. Then his Aunt skyped in while he opened her present. A nice celebration, I think.
