Kermis & Petal Pounding

I helped my sister Ellen today in the Garden Club/Historical Society booth at the 27th Anual Kermis Dutch Festival.

I helped Ellen demonstrate petal pounding as taught to us by our sister Jane. Tons of people stopped by the Garden Club/Historical Society booth to try their hand/hammer at it. Everyone really liked it & some of the kids came back 3 times to do it again. It was pretty much fun!

We used Jane's projects for examples as to what the finished product would look like. Pretty Nice!!

Moto Cross Day!

Our church sponsored a day at a race track. I was really worried about it~that someone would get hurt but it turned out to be a fun day & I was wishing I could ride the trails too! Next time I will go ridin' too! The people who own the property are really nice~they like to see kids have fun in a safe enviroment! They all had lots of fun~me too!

Flowers & Family

Here we are with our BEAUTIFUL flowers! Now they are part of our family!
From Left to Right-(as you look at the screen), The third oldest in our family, my sister, JAS, then my dad, then my sister-in-law, RDV, my niece, KKM, the oldest in our family, my sister, EMM & also our horticulture expert & then at the end there is me, the second oldest in our family
! This is the very first year I have added flowers to my family & boy are they beautiful! I just hope I don't kill them!
Would that be considered murder seeing they are now part of my family!
Well, look for further growth or death updates on my new additions!
Happy Spring!
