"Do all the good you can, By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can, In all the places you can,
At all the times you can, To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can." -John Wesley

Green Meadows Farm

Today, I accompanied Jessie and her Kindergarten friends to Green Meadows Farm in Grand Prairie. Not much has changed since I went with Grayson 4 YEARS AGO! The group had a great time milking cows, going on a hayride, petting goats, zebras, turkeys, chickens and much more. We ended the day with a picnic and and picking our pumpkin in the pumpkin patch!







Lunch with friends

Ranger Chorale Spaghetti Dinner

I've said it over and over, we have the BEST choir teacher! Mr. Hanson really knows how to get these kids interested in music! On October 12, 2010 was our annual fundraiser/spaghetti dinner. We sold out and the kids put on an awesome performance! Way to go Ranger Chorale! The theme of the evening was "New York City". We decorated the cafeteria like a Broadway stage! Jessie was in on the fun too with her friend, Natalie!

Nanny's Quilt

On October 10, 1910 my nanny (my dad's mom), Jessie Pauline was born! As God would have it, I was born 63 years later on October 10, 1973. My sweet girl, Jessie, was named after her. For years I've had a quilt top that she started. My sweet friend, Kari Smith, completed her work by adding backing and a beautiful purple and brown border to it! I am so excited to have something in our family that we can pass down for years to come!

Saddle Tree Trail - NNO

What a blessing to live in a place you LOVE! We celebrated National Night Out with our neighbors on October 5. Friends, chili cook-off, police and fire departments and lots of games made for a wonderful evening!
