My Flower

Daniel gave me this flower yesterday. We picked him up from school after his play rehearsal and he had picked this from a bush in the school yard. He is so sweet! Thank you Daniel!

Old Settler's Day Parade

We went to the annul Old Settler's Day Parade last Saturday here in town.

The parade was of the local Jr High and High school bands and the businesses around the area. It was still fun to go and see all the floats and people.

The school bands were great to hear. Daniel told us that he wanted to play the drums in the band some day.

My sister and her little one, Michael meet us at the parade. He didn't care to watch anything but the bands.

New Moon Candy

I feel silly buying this candy! I was in Hy-Vee looking at their huge selection of Halloween candy and just happened to see at the very bottom shelf a bag of chocolates for Stephanie Meyer's New Moon! So I had to get them! I just hope that I'm not the only adult out there buying this bag of chocolates! :)

The Old Clock

We were given this clock from my father-in-law. It was my mother-in -law's. She got it from an antique shop and took it in to get it working again. I'm not for sure about the history behind it (or if there is one). The only things we know is that it is at least 100 years old. Danny (my father-in-law) found the key to wind it up every few days. So now it works again. It is really cool to hear the tick tock and to hear it chime!
