Little Prairie Girl

Halloween! Our 'Little House' had it's own 'prairie girl' this year.
The girl was "Mary" (because she's blonde & wears glasses) not Laura. Grandma made her a bonnet & we had the dress. She's watched the original series, we love that show! And when we had to come up with a character from a book for our school's 'Fall Festival of Fictitious Finery', Little House on the Prairie was our pick. (Last year she was Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.) Any ideas for next year?

Disneyland!

M-I-C....
K - E - Y...
M-O-U-S-E




I went on a Girls trip to Disneyland! No kids, no men, we went to the "Happiest Place on Earth", and had a screamin' good time. Lost our voices riding "California Screamin'" and "Tower of Terror". But I still think my favorite in California Adventure is "Soarin' over California".

Disneyland was so fun & decorated for Halloween. I've never been there during a 'holiday' time. Pumpkins everywhere. "Haunted Mansion" decorated with "Nightmare before Christmas". Saw more villains then before.

It was a great trip. Next time I'll have to take my girl & hubby! Maybe - if they're good!

Beach Trip in September

The Husband and I got a way for a quick weekend to Lincoln City.
It was nice, we stayed at The Inn at Spanish Head (where we honeymooned 18 years ago).

We walked on the beach, I collected shells & rocks, we took a lot of pictures, ate a yummy breakfast at the 'Beach Dog Cafe', went to a Pirate bakery, and stopped at an antique mall to explore. On the way home we even went to some wineries.

All those fun grown up things that you don't get to do with a child along. It was nice to go and nice to come back! We are thankful to good friends who kept the girl on a sleepover so we could have this time away. 18 years... where has the time gone?
