Preparing for Guests

Well...tonight is our first of our anniversary meetings at our church and we are preparing for guests. We will be having one family and a couple over the weekend. It's been so busy around here!!! Today I made two Amish Friendship Breads and I cleaned out our trailer. Yesterday I cleaned out my room completely... :P (Sharing a room with someone is hard and messy!) To say the least, I was shocked by the amount of things I found to put away. But it all got put in order and I shampooed my carpet which was another real task. I don't think I'll do that again!

I am tired of this heat! When I had to clean out the trailer a few minutes ago, I thought I would scream! It's hard enough to be in small quarters and only three sides of a bed available to move around to make it! :p

Oh well. It'll be worth it once everyone gets here. :) I can hardly wait!

The Planes of Fame Museum Grand Canyon, Arizona

On September 18, 2010, my family and I visited the Planes of Fame Museum in Grand Canyon, Arizona. If you haven't been there, it's worth your time to see...if you like planes that is.

The Lockheed C-121A #48-0613 "Bataan" (General MacArthur's plane) and my favorite plane outside the shop

Inside the Navigator's cabin

Boarding the Bataan

Exiting the Bataan

Blue Angels (Their shows are wonderful!)

My favorite plane in the shop



This museum was AWESOME!!!!! It was full of history and the people running it were very helpful and kind. I would go there again! I loved being inside the Bataan and looking at all the places where the General was inside. That plane even had a kitchen! Complete with a toaster, coffee dispenser and stove!



Wow!

Wish I could have flown in it when it was still in service. They run the engines up once a year. Sighhhh...

Well I'll sign off now...

Until later...

Thank the Lord for Friends

We Are Friends

Whether the day is good or bad,

Whether I'm feeling happy or sad,

If I have a need, you’ll comprehend;

You’ll be there to share and be a friend.

Other people may fill my day,

But never in such an important way;

We support each other ‘round all life’s bends,

It feels so good that we are friends.

The Princess

There is a princess that lives in a little cottage with little land surrounding it. She's not like other princesses in the land. This princess is a writer, a photographer and a violinist. The princess lives with her small family and has little money. Aye, this princess is not like others.

But the princess has a Father in Heaven who owns the cattle on a thousand hills.

I am that princess. I am the princess who longs for peace, joy and gentleness in all people's lives. I am the princess whose spirit roams free as the wild heather and the galloping mustangs.

I am the Princess!

Getting Ready for a Busy Weekend

I haven't blogged on here lately so I thought I'd share what's new. :)

Things are quite busy around here as we're preparing to spend this weekend in New Mexico with my uncle. We have so much to do before then! On top of that we have a house and a church to clean as well as our OWN house and we are going to a school sale this Friday early in the morning before we leave for NM.

I hope between now and the time we leave I get to go pick up my books at the library so I have something to read along the way.

Cooperation Please

Ok. I am creating a cover for my new story and I would like to put three girls on the front. So, if you would like to try out for it and see if your face will do. Here's the rules:




Face and shoulders only



Side profile pics preferable



Minimal to no makeup



Wear an old fashioned blouse and use an old fashioned hairstyle (The story is set in the 1860s/70s)



Hairstyle must be curly (ringlets)







I would like mostly dark haired girls and one red head girl.







Thank you for your cooperation!
