I need to give credit when credit is due. I neglected to post my sister's Janette's poem that she wrote for me though she never sent me a copy but now that I have one I will post this little tribute she honored me with. For some reason my memory is not that same as hers( I was a really sweet little girl.)

A Happy Birthday to my Sister!
When she was young, what a blister!
She would pretend she was Maye West,
To "come up & see me sometime" was her request!
With her white hair she was called "Whitey",
Although she doesn't know her lefty from her righty!
She likes to have things "Her" way,
In most cases she can't be swayed.
She is the baby of the "Spencer" clan,
Her three sisters and Mom are her favorite fans!
From that white haired little girl she grew and grew,
To a beautiful, talented women thru' and thru'!
We love you Sister with all of our hearts,
You have such an array of all your arts.
But the best of all "those" you have created,
Is the love and devotion to all those related.
Not only your husband and children galore,
But all of "Us" others we know you adore!

Here we are in all our cuteness, my cousin Leanne, my sister Denice and me with the poddle-do. Really what harm could I do?

Ode To A Pumpkin Patch

Well it is not everyday that you get a poem written just for you, I found this in my email early this morning, what memories it brings back with my dad when we first started this little patch.
Thank You Aunt Sue for thinking of me and my Dad.

*antique*in*

My cousin Leanne and I went out to a antique fair last weekend and I did not come home empty handed! I found a great piece to put in the office to use for storage and the dresser I got was one of those I could not walk away from so it came home with me to. I thought long and hard about it went through the whole show before coming back and talking to the owners of that booth, I even wrangled down the prices (that is the first time I have ever done that) but I really think I got some great things.





(sorry about the glare)

pUmpKiN-PiC-iN pArTy 2009

We had a great party this year with a little co-operation with the weather and a little mud , lots of food, overly-stuffed belly's and lots of fun.
Our first party we celebrated in 2003 the house was still under construction then.
How things have changed, that is Payton between Mom and Dad. Dad is gone now but Mom has followed in his foot steps to keep the tradition going . Thanks Mom and I will be over soon to clean up the mud!! Love to all my family I hope you all know what this has meant to me.

Dream.......

As
autumn orange
fades into
brown















A quiet
stillness
comes
around


















As blanket
of white
covers my
eyes
















I silently
dream
for
spring
to
awaken
me

Tom's Cowboy Boots

My cousin Leeanne called me up Saturday morning the day before Uncle Tom's viewing and told me she had a pair of his boots and if I would like to do something with them. Of course ! It would be an honor and a thrill to do an arrangement for her. I asked for some out door pictures of him. Sent them off to the printer and this is what I came up with.
