September moves on to October

Remember this picture?  

 

 

Here’s the rest of the story.  24 Enterprise apples and 2 granny smith apples. We might have had more if not for squirrels and grandkids (Quinn and Lucy were quite enamored with the little green apples back in the summer).

 

 

 

And here is the pie I baked with some of them

 

 New month =  grocery buying time  = all day Friday = this!  Whew!

When I was the orchestra director at RBHS, I would often shake my head at the tragic hemlines on the concert dresses.  “Don’t you have a mom, aunt, or grandma who can sew?” I would ask girls wearing dresses dragging the floor.  Obviously not.  So, I told Alison, the incoming director that I would help with hemming this year.  I went two mornings this week to do the measuring and this is my General Conference weekend project.  (Thankfully, not every student needed alterations.)

 Here is a Steve conference photo.  We loved every minute yesterday and look forward to another great day of conference today.

 Look at the cute quilt I tied this week at Laura Jost’s house.  I made 13 “stripes” with red yarn and made white ties on about 6 stars.  

     I watched an interesting foreign film called “Picture Bride” based upon true stories of the Japanese farm workers in Hawaii in the late 29^th – early 20^th century.  Arranged marriages were the norm and this movie featured a young girl who traveled to Hawaii to marry a man she only knew by a photo – but, upon arrival, she discovered he used an OLD photo and he was actually 20 years older than her!  I also watched a silly “Kronks New Groove” which actually turned out to be a great movie and one I would have in my house if I still had little kids.  It was all about choosing the right.  And, it was funny.
