Crochet Me Crazy

This Thanksgiving will be a very thankful one for me. I am very thankful for God's grace, mercy, and provision in our lives. Sometimes God puts us in circumstances which really reminds me of my need for him and the things that are truly important in life....

For all of my crochet friends, I will have little time to crochet over the next month since we are moving. I have to figure out how I'm going to organize being able to crochet once we move into the RV. I have an idea where I can keep at least a little stash of yarn in the RV!

Jeff accomplished a whole lot on the garage today. He's still out there right now working on it. Alison and I sorted and organized her scrapbooking supplies. Tomorrow, I think we'll work on her room.

Just Alison and I went to a "trunk or treat" at a local church tonight for her to get some more candy. She went as a kitty cat tonight. She just comes up with something on her own every year. We don't buy a costume or anything.



Apparently, this "trunk or treat" is a new thing that just came up this year. Never heard of it before. I like the regular fall festivals better. Good thing we went to the one last night. This one you just stand in line and they give you candy. Alison is so shy and un-agressive, she'll stand there with her bag while the other kids are shoving through. Alison did get a lot of candy though...way more than we need! That's about all we did and then came home. It was fun!


By the way...a note on the "big hair" that is funny to me...Alison was really really amazed when I got her hair so puffy! She just couldn't believe it! I thought it was so funny that she was so amazed...I told her I grew up in the 80's. You'd be surprised what you can do with your hair with a pick and a can of good stiff hair spray! LOL

Jeff had to spend most of the day fixing his truck today. At least the truck is fixed! Found out oregano oil works well if you get stung by an Asp. Jeff got stung while he was trying to fix his truck. He came in the house asking for whatever I had in my arsenal. I immediately put Oregano oil on it. The pain stopped immediately. I haven't heard another word from him about it and he didn't have any swelling or any problems with it since. We had heard an Asp sting could be pretty bad....not really sure but it seemed to work well.

We broke down and took Alison to a Fall Festival tonight. We had told her we weren't going to go this year. I really hate Halloween and wish it just go away. She's been so stressed about moving and worrying we won't have time to go to Thanksgiving at Aunt Kathy's this year, we figured she needed some decompression time and a bag full of candy! LOL She brought a friend and they got a lot of candy! Alison is a happy camper now! Michael was tortured by the whole experience! LOL

The papers are signed and we are moving unless something unforeseen comes up. We will be out of our house by the end of next month. Alison has been having some stress over moving. She's sad to move. It is a scary venture to be facing the unknown! I told her we will have a Very Camping Christmas! She wants to decorate the outside of the camper. We can even stick around here for a little while and let her have her hay ride birthday party that we always have every year. We will have a different kind of holiday season this year for sure. My main sadness is leaving my wonderful neighbors. Several families have become very dear to us and we will really miss them.

Saw my mama today. She was mostly napping when I went today. Her hand was swollen and they are going to have the doctor come see her this weekend.

Pray for us!
