Sadie's 17th birthday...

We celebrated Sadie's 17th birthday in August with a few friends and a pool party.
She is such a lovely young lady.  I have special memories of each of her 17 birthday parties, over the years.

Fall recap....

So many good things going on the last few months; school starting, church activities, and even a glimpse into heaven...

Halloween 2013

It has been a super-busy fall season; so much going on.   So, I really enjoyed the opportunity to kick back and get sewing.  It has been a while since Sadie needed a costume; I had so much fun making this Indian costume for her.  She found the headband at a Halloween store, but the dress is my creation.  High school students are dressing in Halloween costumes today, and she and her theatre group are also collecting canned goods for the local food bank tonight instead of collecting candy.

 Maggie wanted to be a hippie , and it was fun creating her costume as well.  I had most of the materials needed; only had to purchase the fabric for the dress and headband.

Maggie's Turn for Camp...

Maggie is spending this week at the Bridgeport Methodist Camp.  It is a camp for kids entering grades 4-6.
She is staying in the Lakeside cabin, and she will be swimming, hiking, playing games, and going to Bible study each day.

There are about 16 girls in her cabin. 
Can't wait to hear all about her adventures at camp.

Maggie's book review...

Maggie gave a book review this month

at a local community library.  She reviewed all of the books in "The Doll People" series.

She gave her program twice, speaking to two groups of students.   Her love for the books really came through.

Les Miserables

Sadie and I saw a community theatre performance of Les Miserables in Ardmore, Oklahoma last night. 
It was beyond words good.
