Harvest Thyme

Carlyle is celebrating their Fall Festival,

also called Harvest Thyme.

Cardinals Willie Mcgee

My son came into town this weekend

for a STL Cardinals game.

Vince Coleman and Willie McGee

was signing autographs at the stadium.

5th year as a Forever Family

What more can be said....

We are BLESSED !!

All the lives she has touched,

All the smiles she has given,

All the the Love she has shown

and brought out of people..

Is nothing less than a Miracle.

Celebrating with pizza as we have done

every year...

because that was her momma and my meal in the hotel

5 years ago. I was so lucky to be there, to meet

my beautiful Granddaughter. My heart still skips a beat

when I think of that moment, my chest aches with excitement

when I remember how precious the scene was

as the nanny handed my daughter-her daughter!

Does life get any better, I think not.

So thank you for my inspiration....my Smile.

Last day of the Festival

This little customer couldn't wait to

put on her Tutu.

Festival in St Charles day #2

Blown away with the crowds last night,
but the support and interest in our Creativity
is making for a GREAT weekend.

Except, Lil Orchid (even with all the protection sprayed, wiped and coated) was eaten alive last night. It looks so bad, and her allergies against bites makes it even worse with the swelling ;(

Festival of the Little Hills

This weekend we are in St Charles Missouri,
right along the river for an incrediable Festival.

1st day of Kindergarten...

Wow, who is getting old?

Lil Orchid started Kindergarten today.

WOW that's all this grandma can say...

with tears in her eyes.

Made this dress for her special day,

it is one of my own designs

(brown paper bag pattern,

just like my mom)

as you can see why I love the full skirts....

because little girls LOVE full skirts!!
