My New Footstool

Hey girls, (sisters) remember these? For those of you who don't know, when we were small our aunt made each of us girls one of these stools one year. So we had five of these in the living room to trip over. Had many a family prayer time hung over one of these stools.
We just did a custom teflon job for a company and when the teflon was gone there was this nice, heavy duty, large, plastic spool left. It reminded me of the stools we had as kids, so I decided to make one and voila!! here it is.

Our Ferry Ride

A few pictures from our ferry ride. The trip takes an hour and a half one way. On the return trip, the sun was setting. It was beautiful and relaxing!

A day at Cape May

My parents came over for a short visit this weekend. It was my Dad's first time to be here. My Mother was only here once and that was to be with me when I was in the hospital last year (not exactly a fun time). We went to the Cape May lighthouse, had a picnic lunch, and walked up and down the beach enjoying the sounds of the sea and watching a bunch of porpoises splashing in the water. Later in the afternoon we took the ferry from Cape May to Lewes Delaware. It was a beautiful and relaxing time. We only go when we have company because my hubby careth not for the shore. :) So come visit sometime so I can go again!!

Smudge meets Dad

Smudge introducing herself to my Dad! I think she enjoyed having company every bit as much as we did!

Smudge's Fall Photo

Smudge is growing up! Still very playful, though. Hilariously playful at times. Provides us with great amusement!

Smudge Update!

Some Smudge picture updates. Pretty much the only exciting thing happening in our lives right now, as we are working way too many hours with way too much stress!
